From Florence: San Gimignano Visit and Tuscan Winery Lunch with Wine Tasting

Travel from Florence to medieval San Gimignano and a Tuscan winery with round-trip transfers, lunch, and tastings included.

Getting started

Depart from Florence on shared round-trip transfers that take you through the Tuscan countryside toward San Gimignano. Once you arrive, you leave the vehicle and begin the independent portion of your visit. After this first stop, you continue by road to a nearby Tuscan winery where your lunch and tastings are arranged.

What to expect

San Gimignano

San Gimignano is a medieval hill town known for its historic streets, famous towers, and wide panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. This part of the day is unguided, so you can choose how to divide your time within the town walls.

Features

• Free time to explore San Gimignano lets you wander at your own pace, pause in small squares, or follow its narrow lanes to viewpoints over the Tuscan landscape.
• There is no guided tour of San Gimignano and no entrance tickets to monuments or attractions included, so any visits inside sites are entirely optional and at your own expense.

Tuscan winery

After your town visit, you travel to a Tuscan winery in the surrounding countryside for a seated lunch and tasting session. This is where regional food specialties are paired with local tastings and condiments.

Features

• A Tuscan lunch at the winery is included, starting with appetizers such as cheeses, salami, Tuscan appetizers, and mixed bruschetta.
• Your first course features either lasagna with meat ragù or Tuscan ribollita, followed by Cantuccini biscuits served with dessert wine to finish the meal.
• A Tuscan tasting is provided, with a selection of regional tastings that may include Brunello di Montalcino, Chianti, Chianti Classico, Morellino di Scansano, Vernaccia di San Gimignano, Super Tuscans, rosé, and dessert wine.
• An olive oil and balsamic vinegar tasting is also part of the experience, featuring extra-virgin olive oil, truffle olive oil, spicy pepper olive oil, and a balsamic vinegar reserve.

Journey through the Tuscan countryside

The travel itself is a key part of this experience, linking Florence, San Gimignano, and the winery.

Features

• Shared round-trip transfers from Florence are included, so you do not need to arrange separate transport between the city, San Gimignano, and the Tuscan winery.
• The route takes you through the scenic Tuscan countryside, giving you time to watch rolling hills and rural landscapes from your seat while you move between each stop.
• Hotel pickup and drop-off are not included by default, although a hotel pickup within Florence city centre can be requested separately, and any additional food and drinks beyond the set menu are at your own cost.
