A delicious taste of Tuscany - This was a nice little surprise to find a charming vineyard in San Gimignano that was small and family owned and there for generations. The wine, olive oil and balsamic vinegars was delicious!

What a great tour - The food, wine staff were wonderful. I had a tour of Senior Citizens who totally enjoyed it. They paired the wine with different foods, such as meat and cheeses, and they sent the first case with no shipping costs! Thank you so much for a very enjoyable time!

Great wine and good Tuscany experience - The wine was great and the pairing with the cheese was well done. The owners are very friendly and this is a great place to taste wine and enjoy Tuscany views. We did have trouble finding it because the wine tasting sign had a different name than the winery. We past by it and had to circle back. Parking is limited.

Delicious sparkling rose & very good value - The wines were delicious - particularly a sparkling rose made from 100% sangiovese grapes - and the tasting board was very big! The setting was also very peaceful overlooking San Gimignano, which was easy and quick to visit afterwards. Our guide was helpful, friendly and smiley. Would recommend to anyone visiting San Gimignano.

A little taste of Tuscany - This was a nice little surprise to find a charming vineyard in San Gimignano (Tuscany) that was small and family owned. We were able to sample their wines, olive oils and balsamic vinegars - all very tasty!

Great wine - Easily accessible from San Gimignano on foot. A good selection of wine, olive oil and cheese to try. Good value for money and very friendly and knowledgeable hosts.

Good view good wine good cheese but we were unwelcome - Lovely little place with a great view of Sam Gimignano and the vineyards. Wine was really good. The cheese was really good and the olive oil was really good. The police is not hard to find. If you follow the address they give you. Don't try to find the name of the police. Where this review takes a strong turn south is that we never really felt like we were welcome there. It started with the person at the register who seemed annoyef that we were there. My wife commented on how neat a decoration was near the register and the kid looked at it looked at my wife like he was disgusted. Maybe he was having a bad day. They ran out the wine. Explained it in about 1 minute and then left. They then brought out the cheese and olive oil. Explained it in about 2 minutes and then left. We never heard from them again. I guess maybe we didn't look the part. But we were never explained much at all about the cheese and olive oil. Perhaps which ones we should eat first. So we just drink our wine ate our cheese and olive oil and got up and left because nobody ever came back to see how we were doing. We drove there and there was plenty of parking but you could easily walk from town.

Just to taste the wine, no excursions and stories - Yes, the location is very nice, the building, the table serving and mostly the view to San Gimignano city, but there was a big disappointment, because our group didn't have an excursion in the vineyards and wine cellar, the guy who served us didn't knew nothing about wine making, just knew what he is putting in the glasses. If you are not interesting to get to know all about the whole process from grape to wine, then just for tasting wine, olive oils and balsamico with different snacks, it is fine.

Skip the experience - The description of the event gave the impression that the venue was in the town of San Gimignano - perhaps a little tasting table in a quaint shop. Not even close. It was on the outskirts of town and very difficult to find. Parking was challenging and not easy to manuever as we were directed to park on a steep hill in an olive grove dodging trees. What we got from our table inside was a very distant view of the town of SG from the tasting room. The tasting itself of 4 wines and 2 olive oils were not very good. The white wines were on the sour side, especially after having done several wineries throughout Tuscany already. The reds were okay. The food offerings were fine, but we only got 4 half slices of bread for 2 people to try the infused oils and basalmics. The purchase prices for the wines, oils and vinegars was incredibly expensive by comparison to other places we had been. We finished up within an hour and did not buy anything. For the price of the activity, we got bare basics and felt rather cheated by the experience. Would not recommend this place again.
