Detailed itinerary

First Stop: San Gimignano – Free Time

Explore the medieval charm of San Gimignano, the "Town of Fine Towers." Enjoy 1 hour of free time to stroll its picturesque streets, admire historic towers, and soak in the atmosphere.

Taste the famous Vernaccia di San Gimignano wine and indulge in award-winning gelato at Gelateria Dondoli, a two-time world champion. Snap photos, savor local flavors, and experience the magic of this iconic Tuscan town.

Lunch at a Tuscan Organic Farm

It’s time to savor the flavors of Tuscany! Head to a beautiful organic farm perched on a hill with romantic views of San Gimignano. Here, enjoy a genuine Tuscan lunch featuring:

Starter: Bruschetta and cold cuts with Pecorino cheese

Main courses: Traditional pasta and other Tuscan specialties

Dessert: A delicious sweet treat to finish your meal

Your lunch is paired with 4–5 glasses of premium wine, including Chianti DOCG, Vernaccia DOCG, Super Tuscan, and more.

Plus, delight in five tastings of extra virgin olive oil and three tastings of balsamic vinegar, straight from the farm.

All served in the serene and picturesque Tuscan countryside, offering an authentic and unforgettable culinary experience.

Monteriggioni Castle – Free Time

After lunch, explore the fascinating medieval Monteriggioni Castle, a fortress built by the Sienese between 1214 and 1219 as a frontline defense against Florence.

The castle withstood numerous Florentine attacks until 1554, when Captain Zeti handed the keys over to the Florentine forces in a gesture of reconciliation with the Medici—an act considered a “great betrayal” by the citizens of Siena, who famously cursed him.

Legend has it that on full moon nights, you can hear the sound of galloping horses and even see the ghost of Captain Zeti riding across the castle grounds.

Enjoy free time to wander the medieval walls, snap photos, and soak in the atmosphere of this iconic Tuscan fortress.

Final Stop: Wine Tasting at a Chianti Classico Winery

End your Tuscan adventure with a visit to Poggio ai Laghi, a renowned Chianti Classico winery. Here, enjoy a guided tasting of 6–7 exquisite wines, including Chianti Classico, Super Tuscan, and other fine selections, explained by an expert sommelier who will share insights on flavors, aromas, and winemaking traditions.

After this unforgettable wine experience, we will return you directly to your location, concluding your full day of Tuscan exploration.
Note: This is a full-day tour, so we recommend joining it only when you have an entire day available to fully enjoy the experience, as it is unforgettable.
