    Your journey begins at a renowned historic winery nestled in the heart of the Chianti hills — a place where centuries of passion and tradition come together in every glass:
    Chianti Classico – The soul of Tuscany, crafted mainly from Sangiovese grapes. Expect a vibrant red wine bursting with bold, earthy notes and hints of cherry and spice
    Super Tuscan - These wines break free from tradition, blending international grapes like Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon with Sangiovese to create rich, complex flavors that have captivated wine lovers around the world.
    Vernaccia di San Gimignano – A crisp and elegant white wine born in the medieval towers of San Gimignano. Enjoy its bright flavors of green apple, citrus, and almond with a subtle mineral finish.
    After a guided tour of the ancient cellars and an engaging introduction to the estate’s winemaking philosophy, you’ll indulge in a curated tasting experience, savoring each wine alongside breathtaking views of the Tuscan countryside.
  3. San Gimignano
    1h
    After your wine tasting, we’ll continue to the enchanting hilltop town of San Gimignano for a self-guided visit of this world-famous medieval gem.
    You’ll have about an hour of free time to explore at your own pace. Known as the “Town of Fine Towers,” San Gimignano once boasted more than 70 towers in the Middle Ages. Today, its well-preserved walls, cobbled lanes, and breathtaking skyline make it feel like an open-air museum — a true step back in time.
    As you wander, discover the town’s proud traditions: its prized saffron and the celebrated “Golden Ham.” Don’t miss the chance to stop in the main square and taste “the best gelato in the world” at the famous "Gelateria Dondoli", a sweet highlight of any visit.
