The area of San Gimignano is famous in Italy for the production of a DOCG white wine, the Vernaccia di San Gimignano. This white wine grows only in this area because of the original characteristics of the soil which is sandy and wet, not like that of the close Chianti areas, which is more rocky and dry. Not only will you experience the wine of the area, but the culture and food too. Enjoy a dining experience at a small family-run farm, with a multi-course Tuscan lunch. Learn about winemaking techniques and taste great local organic wines
