SAN GIMIGNANO TOUR
The tower houses of San Gimignano stand on a hill of the Val d'Elsa area, located north-west of Siena.
Symbols of the power and wealth of the town's inhabitants, the 72 imposing structures, 14 of which have reached us intact, won San Gimignano its epithet "the town of a thousand towers"
Owing to the development of commercial trade on the Via Francigena, travelled during the Middle Ages by thousands of pilgrims heading towards Rome, San Gimignano has undergone an economic and cultural rebirth through the revival of its agriculture and its artisan crafts.
The artistic and cultural treasures of San Gimignano intertwine with the secrets of local food and wine products in a potpourri of scents and flavours. Our expert tour leaders will give you the opportunity to relish this sensory experience through a unique itinerary.
This matchless experience will let you appreciate the special beauty of the ceramics of Santa Fina and of local handicrafts.
We will lead you to the discovery of the ancient traditions from which originates the celebrated Vernaccia, the only Tuscan white wine that can boast the D.O.C.G. designation, that you will taste in one of the best wineries of the area along with a selection of typical wines.
