- I had a wonderful lunch with wine tasting at Tenuta San Gimignano. It was a truly nice experience, made even better by the friendly and attentive staff. A special thanks to Valeria, who was not only professional but also really funny and went above and beyond to make our visit memorable. Highly recommended!

Wine Tasting Experience in San Gimignano - This experience was the highlight of our group tour to San Gimignano from Livorno. It was part of a NCL tour that included a visit to the medieval village, but with emphasis on the wine of the region. We were taken to this lovely estate, while dodging roosters and chickens as our bus entered through the main gate. It's such a picturesque setting for a wine tasting. I can see that many events are celebrated in these vineyards all year round. The beautiful rose bushes along the trail leading to the wine tasting room added even more charm.
Gabrielle was our guide for this tour. He gave us a great presentation of all that Tenuta Torciano has to offer. It all started with the appetizer plate that went perfectly with their amazing Vernaccia wine. It is such a beautiful golden color with a bright and crisp fruity taste. The grape is only grown in this region. It's a must try when in San Gimignano.
I was also very much in love with the Rosato IGT Toscana wine that is very deep pink in color. It looks so pretty in the bottle. It was my second favorite of the 9 or 10 different wines that we tasted. It was an extremely generous amount for the cost. I even purchased a couple of reds, which I'm not usually fond of because they give me headaches. These did not have that affect on me. The Super Tuscan red wines called Bartolomeo & Baldassarre totally won me over. In all honesty, I've never spent this much on wine in my entire life. It was worth it. They ship it straight to your home. They have a stateside warehouse in Chicago which makes it so convenient. The package arrived a couple of days after we returned from our trip. It was exactly what we ordered, and packed with such wonderful care. Great service!
We also were given the opportunity to try their flavored olive oils and balsamic vinegar. The truffle oil was drizzled over the lasagna for the tasting, but it was the balsamic vinegar that was a big hit with my husband. We've been getting a lot of use out of it when making bruschetta and caprese salad at home. It's delicious!
The sweet ending to our tasting was the Vin Beato dessert wine. We dipped the cantucci (or biscotti cookies) into the wine. It was the perfect ending to a lovely wine tasting experience. I really wasn't expecting a full meal, nor was I expecting so many different wine samplings. It exceeded our expectations.
I believe they have a number of different experiences here like truffle hunting and horseback riding. Just check out their website. I would have never known about this place had I not booked a tour through the cruise line. It was a memorable visit with an excellent wine tasting. I'd do it again if ever in San Gimignano.

Toasty and Tasty Torciano Experience - We had a wonderful time, Lillo was our host and he was funny informative overall, just great. The wines were delicious. The food was absolutely delicious.

Everything I imagined it would be.

Phenomenal experience - Our day was phenomenal, San Gimignano is a stunning town. The winery was amazing, gorgeous views, great wines and Leo and Danielle excellent hosts. The cherry on top was the out of this world service of our driver Fauci that went above and beyond and we can not thank him enough for all he did for us. We love you Fauci!!

A Rare Vintage - From top to bottom, our experience was stellar. From the creature comforts of professional and accommodating transportation to and from the winery (thank you Matteo & Giuliano!), to the personalized wine tasting experience with sommelier Gabriel, Perluigi's estate, vintages, and food are not to be missed.
Exceptional, across the board, with superlatives to spare. Grazie mille a tuttë!

New wine lover - This was my first wine tasting ever and it was awesome. Our host Gabriel taught me all the professional ways to taste wine and the history of his family and wine we tasted. I went home with some new favorites and tried some familiar ones that I have had in the states that were a million times better trying from here. After our lunch, we met Pietrone and Pietrino who were great post-lunch hosts. I haven’t been a fan of wine previously but they helped me see a variety of wine that I wouldn’t have explored before their experience. I am so happy I came for the full, authentic Italian experience can’t wait to come again in the future to try some of the wide variety of wines that they make and sell here in house.
