Highlights

The Only White Wine-Focused Tasting in San Gimignano. While most Tuscany experiences lead with red wines, this session gives white and sparkling varieties the full spotlight — from the iconic Vernaccia DOCG to Prosecco and a Toscana Spumante.

Vernaccia First. Vernaccia di San Gimignano DOCG is one of Italy’s oldest and most celebrated white wines, grown right here in the hills surrounding the town. This tasting opens with it, giving it the prominence it deserves.

From Still to Sparkling. The line-up moves naturally from still whites through sparkling varieties, letting guests experience how the same terroir expresses itself across different wine styles.

A Wine School Approach. The session is structured as a guided wine school, teaching guests how to identify aromas, evaluate structure, and understand food pairing — accessible for beginners, rewarding for enthusiasts.

Three Olive Oils, One Balsamic. Extra virgin, truffle, and spicy pepper olive oils round out the tasting, turning it into a comprehensive exploration of the estate’s full product range beyond wine.
