2. Your first stop: a renowned historic family-run winery, where winemaking has been a passion passed down for over 100 years. Here, amidst ancient barrels and the scent of aged oak, you’ll discover the essence of Tuscan tradition and innovation. This estate is celebrated for producing three distinctive wine varieties: Chianti Classico, Super Tuscan, and Vernaccia di San Gimignano. After a fascinating tour of the historic cellars and an introduction to the family’s winemaking secrets, you’ll savor a guided tasting of these exceptional wines — each glass telling a story of passion, heritage, and the timeless beauty of Tuscany.

3. After the tasting, we’ll head to San Gimignano for a self-guided visit of this famous medieval village. You’ll have free time to explore the town, and the visit—including its magnificent towers—will take approximately an hour. San Gimignano is a small, walled medieval hill town not far from Siena, known as the “Town of Fine Towers.” In the Middle Ages, over 70 towers stood here, and today, it’s like an open-air museum, where walking through the streets feels like stepping back in time. The town is also famous for its saffron, “Golden Ham,” and Vernaccia di San Gimignano, a white wine made from the ancient Vernaccia grape that grows on the region’s sandstone hillsides. Be sure to stop in the main square to try “the best gelato in the world” at Gelateria Dondoli, and as you wander the charming streets, you’ll be able to admire the remarkable work of skilled local artisans. After the visit, we’ll return to your location

About Pisa

Pisa is a Tuscan city on the Arno, famous for its Leaning Tower and for the white marble cathedral, baptistery and cemetery that stand around it.

In the Piazza dei Miracoli, a broad lawn at the north end of the old town, four white marble buildings stand together: the cathedral, the baptistery, the cemetery known as the Camposanto and the Leaning Tower, which is the cathedral's bell tower. Building began in 1173, and the tower started to lean before it was finished because it stands on soft ground. Engineers stabilised it at the end of the 20th century.
