Full Tuscan Lunch & Wine Tasting in San Gimignano | Farm | Food Tour

Q: How many wines are tasted and which types?

Ten wines are tasted, including Brunello di Montalcino DOCG, Chianti Classico DOCG, Vernaccia di San Gimignano DOCG, Morellino di Scansano and three Super Tuscan blends, plus a rosé.

In the rolling Tuscan hills near San Gimignano, a 90-minute winery lunch invites you to sit at a table and move through the region in taste. Located at Via Crocetta, 16, 53037 San Gimignano SI, Italy, the experience gathers visitors from San Gimignano and Ulignano for a relaxed meal among vines and olive trees. Rather than a standing pour or a cellar tour, this is a deliberate, seated journey: antipasti, a choice of truffle lasagna or ribollita, roast meat with vegetables, and cantuccini with sweet wine, all accompanied by a guided tasting of ten Tuscan wines and three olive oils.

Key features of the scene include the winery’s terrace overlooking cultivated rows of Sangiovese, cypress-lined driveways, and pocket views toward San Gimignano’s medieval towers. Natural elements here are typical of central Tuscany—limestone-rich soils, sun-bleached stony rows, and scattered olive groves that give the oils their peppery finish. The wine list reads like a map of the region: Brunello di Montalcino DOCG, Chianti Classico DOCG, Vernaccia di San Gimignano DOCG, Morellino di Scansano and three Super Tuscan blends. A Balsamic Vinegar Gold Reserve tasting adds a tangy counterpoint to dessert.

Why this lunch stands out: it’s a full meal paired course-by-course, not just flights on a tray. The guide frames each pour with practical tasting notes—acidity, tannin, food match—so visitors leave with a clearer sense of how Tuscan wines behave at table. Five daily session times make it easy to slot into a day exploring San Gimignano’s stone streets or cycling the surrounding hills.

Accessibility is notable: the listing states the venue is stroller and wheelchair accessible, which makes this an inclusive option for travelers who prefer minimal walking between parking and table. There’s no vineyard walk included, so bring curiosity rather than trekking boots. Dietary accommodations (gluten-free, vegan, vegetarian) are available with advance notice.

This is a good choice for visitors who want an authentic, time-efficient taste of Tuscany: local cheeses and salumi to start, robust red pairings with roast meat, Vernaccia with lighter courses, and olive oil varietals that show how terroir translates from grape to glass and fruit to oil. In short, it’s food-forward, terroir-driven, and ideally placed for anyone basing themselves in San Gimignano or Ulignano and wanting an uncomplicated, genuinely Tuscan sit-down lunch.

Sessions run five times daily—11am, 12pm, 1pm, 2pm, and 4pm—making it simple to combine this meal with a morning of sightseeing or an afternoon drive through the Chianti vineyards. Prices start at €75 per adult with a reduced rate for children; small groups from two to twenty are accommodated. Transportation to San Gimignano is not included though a shuttle can be arranged at extra cost. Gratuities are customary but not required and optional.
