In-depth wine lesson and tasting - The lecture and aroma training prior to the actual tasting was so valuable. It helped me taste the wine in a more sophisticated way. We were fortunate in that there were only 2 other people in the class--a father and his daughter who were delightful. Highly recommend this for those who wish to learn more about wine making and tasting!

Great tasting experience - We had a great tasting with Andrea! He has a real passion for the vernaccia di san gimignano and showed us averting in the little museum and took us on a journey for the senses! Afterwards we went to one of the winemakers to buy wine, and got a simular great welcome

Great wine tasting in San Gimignano. - The wine experience at the La Rocca in San Gimignano was fantastic. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and was fun, too. We learned about the history of the Vernaccia di San Gimignano wine and got a great background in the process, soils, and aromas to expect. We tasted 6 different wines and compared them for color, smell, and taste. By the end, we had a great understanding of the local wines and had enjoyed the whole experience.
