Things to do in San Gimignano, Tuscany: The Best Food & Drink
San Gimignano, known as the "city of beautiful towers," had 72 towers in its heyday. Now 14 remain, and, rising above Tuscany's Elsa Valley, they make the town look like a medieval dreamscape. Take in the fresco-covered Collegiate Church, the Civic Museum and the views from atop 177-foot Torre Grossa. Daytrippers from Florence tend to fill up the streets during the day, so for a more up-close-and-personal look at the town, spend the night.

We were so well taken care of by Fausto and Rikkaa. This is a family owned vineyard that makes some incredible wines. We had a great stay here for 2 nights and wished we had booked longer. Fausto helped us with everything from making reservations to recommending masseuses and restaurants. Rikkaa is very well versed sommelier who gave us great winery recommendations as well. However, with all the wines we tried in the region, we liked Guardastelle's wine the best and already bought 6 bottles shipped home!

I'm Katia and me and my uncle Fulvio run the Tuscan cooking class in our family Boutique farmhouse Il Vicario. We are 4 km far from the fantastic town of San Gimignano and we teach you how to prepare a real Tuscany meal but most important we teach you how the food should taste. Your meal will be a celebration and a fantastic time to spent in a real Tuscany family.

Can’t say enough about how great Katia was. In a postcard setting, in a home built over a thousand years ago, Katia taught us the art of pasta making. She was able to meet the needs and keep the interest of our group of 6 ranging in age from 10 to 70. And did I mention how yummy our creations were? Best of all we plan to keep cooking together when we get home.

Come and relax in the fresh air with social distancing with our wines and good food.The vineyards and winery have been lovingly tended by the Carlesi-Zucconi family since 1973. Begin with a stroll through the vines on your guided tour of one of this region's most traditional wineries. See how we make and mature our wines in the underground cantina; then afterwards relax with breathtaking views of San Gimignano and the surrounding bucolic Tuscan countryside while enjoying our premier wines accompanied by local cuisine.

YOU have got to go see this winery/vineyard!!! It is the BEST...and David is wonderful. You can really tell that he cares about wine/food/people. It is an awesome tour of the vineyard and family chapel and then you are served a WONDERFUL lunch! We had about 1.5 hours before checking into our AirBnB, and David let us just stay outside, having some wine and enjoying the Tuscany sun. It was wonderful!!! We bought 2 bottles of his DELICIOUS wine. If you are anywhere near San Gimignano, don't miss this vineyard. It is the BEST!!!!

We had a fantastic time. The wine was delicious and generous. Caterina had good English and the setting was stunning, we looked out over the vineyard in dappled shade and felt in heaven. AND there were three gorgeous dogs who came and sat with us (we encouraged this, I'm sure they would remove them if you wanted that) but it all just gave it such a lovely, relaxed, homely feel. It felt the opposite of 'commercial' or 'big business' - a lovely, cute, family-run business in a stunning setting. We loved the wine and came away a fair few bottles! Highly recommended T x
