Sightseeing  :  Italy  :  Tuscany  :  San Gimignano  :  Wine Tasting & Winery Tours

Take a private tour of a family-run organic winery. Immerse yourself in a real Tuscan farmstead, starting with a visit to the vineyard and cellar, then ending with a tasting of four organic wines, straight from the winery's own vineyards, plus three extra virgin olive oils. Just few minutes walking from San Gimignano town center, with a spectacular view on the Medieval towers of the town. An Italian, English, French or German-speaking member of the staff will guide you throughout this approximate 45-minute tour. Podere la Marronaia is a small family-run farm in San Gimignano dedicated to the cultivation of grapes and olives and the production of wines and extra virgin olive oil. In 2000, all production was converted to an organic method of cultivation that involves the use of only natural products exploiting the natural fertility of the soil and considering the entire ecosystem. As of 2003, all products became organic certified. The cellar and wine tasting venue, Sosta Alle Colonne, is located within walking distance from the town center, surrounded by beautiful countryside with a view of the towers of San Gimignano and the Vernaccia vineyard.

The wine tasting includes four wines:

• Vernaccia di San Gimignano DOCG bio
• Chianti Colli Senesi DOCG organic or bio Rosato IGT Toscano
• Sangiovese IGT Rosso Toscano bio

The extra virgin olive oil tasting includes three oils:

• Natural
• Flavored with chili pepper
• Truffle

Bread and little snacks will be supplied during the tasting.
