Vernaccia di San Gimignano Wine Tour
San Gimignano is a hilltop
town North of Siena famous for its many medieval
towers. But it is also the location of one of
the most important white wines of Italy named
Vernaccia di San Gimignano, the absolute first
white wine to receive the DOC status back in
1966. In recent years the area has also shown an
interesting potential for powerful red wines.
This
area is very lush and will give you some of the
best views of the rolling hills that Tuscany is
known for.
Our first stop will be at a renowned chocolate
maker where we will have a tasting of artisan
chocolate. Right after this we'll be headed for
the first winery visit and tasting.
We will then pay a quick visit to the town of San Gimignano and there will be a little time to shop for local products.
Then it will be time for a tasting in another family owned winery within the Vernaccia di San Gimignano region. We will do a tasting of a regular Vernaccia di San Gimignano, a Riserva of Vernaccia and several reds including a Super Tuscan.
