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

Travel from Florence to a Tuscan winery and San Gimignano with guided cheese and wine tasting plus round-trip transfers.

This is a full-day trip from Florence combining a Tuscan winery tasting with free time in San Gimignano.

Getting started

Depart from Florence on shared round-trip transfers through the Tuscan countryside. After check-in, you ride out of the city toward San Gimignano and the nearby winery. On arrival in the wine region, you join your scheduled guided cheese and wine tasting before continuing to your independent time in the medieval town.

What to expect

Tuscan winery

You visit a local Tuscan winery in the countryside surrounding San Gimignano. Here you focus on how regional products work together, with a wine expert or winery host guiding you through each pairing.

Features

• Guided cheese and wine tasting forms the core of your visit, led step by step by a wine expert or winery host who explains how each element on the table connects to the wines in your glass.
• Five different cheeses are presented in sequence, from fresh to medium-aged and long-aged varieties, so you can compare texture and flavour changes with each pour.
• A full spread of Tuscan wine, olive oil, salami, bruschetta, balsamic, cantuccini, and dessert wine is included in the session, giving you a structured way to taste typical local products side by side.

San Gimignano

After the tasting, you continue to San Gimignano, a medieval hill town known for its towers and historic streets. Your time here is self-guided so you can focus on the parts of the town that interest you most.

Features

• Free time in San Gimignano lets you explore independently, choose your own walking route, or simply sit in a square and take in the atmosphere without a fixed schedule.
• Round-trip transfers link Florence, the Tuscan winery, and San Gimignano in one itinerary, so you do not need to arrange separate transport between the countryside and the town.
