What to do and see in San Gimignano, Tuscany: The Best Food Tours
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 had the best day of our vacation, at the Marronaia winery. The hospitality of all the staff made us feel welcome and like family. Learning to make authentic pizza and Prosecco gelato was a memory to take home with us. Wine tasting and olive oil tasting has committed us to staying in touch with the family and winery. I now order their wines regularly that get shipped to the states with absolutely no glitches. My all time favorite is the Sparkling Rose' called Quarzo. Whenever I share it with friends, they want more of it. I'm a little embarrassed to say how many cases I've ordered in a short amount of time. It really is that good!! We also love their olive oil. The fond memories of our day at the winery is calling us back to revisit the experience. Thank you to the family that cares to make their guests experience memorable, leaving with fondness in their hearts to return.
