Leave Florence behind and travel through the rolling Tuscan countryside aboard a comfortable shared transfer to San Gimignano, one of Tuscany’s most iconic medieval towns.

After exploring the town, continue into the surrounding countryside to a selected local winery. Discover the estate and its winemaking traditions before sitting down for a guided tasting of Tuscan wines and extra-virgin olive oils, accompanied by a traditional Tuscan light lunch. Enjoy local specialties including cheeses, salami and bruschetta, followed by a first course such as lasagna or ribollita and cantuccini with dessert wine. From medieval streets and saffron gelato to vineyard tables, every part of the experience has been brought together for you: shared transportation from Florence, a local San Gimignano guide, gelato tasting, winery visit, wine and olive oil tasting, and Tuscan light lunch. Come for the towers. Leave having tasted, discovered and experienced the real San Gimignano.
