Explore Tuscan vineyards and olive groves by 4×4 Jeep

This 4-hour experience is unlike any other in San Gimignano. It begins with an off-road 4×4 Jeep safari through the vineyards where Vernaccia di San Gimignano and Chianti are grown, and through the olive groves, with a local expert explaining the full cycle of vine cultivation — from winter pruning to harvest. A panoramic aperitif follows, with views across the Tuscan hills. Then guests sit down to a full Tuscan lunch: truffle lasagna or ribollita, roast meat with potatoes, and cantuccini for dessert, all accompanied by a wine school session covering 10 wines and three olive oils led by a wine sommelier. Limited to 4 guests per Jeep for a genuinely personal experience.

Highlights

A Safari, Not Just a Tour. The 4×4 Jeep takes guests off-road through parts of the estate no walking tour can reach — up close to the Vernaccia and Chianti vines, through the olive groves, and across the Tuscan landscape.

Learn the Full Cycle of Winemaking. The Jeep tour isn’t just scenic — a local expert explains the complete vine cultivation process, from winter pruning to harvest, in the place where it actually happens.

A Full Tuscan Lunch, Not a Tasting Plate. This is the only experience in this portfolio that includes a complete sit-down lunch: truffle lasagna or ribollita, roast meat, cantuccini, and dessert wine, with a full wine school running through the meal.

Maximum 4 Guests Per Jeep. The experience is kept deliberately small — no more than 4 guests per Jeep — making it one of the most personal and exclusive offerings in San Gimignano.

The Longest, Most Complete Day. At 4 hours and 10 minutes, this is the most immersive experience in the portfolio — ideal for guests who want to spend a full half-day inside the Tuscan winemaking world.
