Perched among the rolling hills outside San Gimignano, this private vineyard experience puts your group alone on the slopes that produce Vernaccia and Sangiovese. The guided walk, cellar visit and multi-course tasting compress a full estate encounter into an intimate 90 minutes—designed for travelers who want the estate to themselves rather than a shared tour.

Highlights

EXCLUSIVE ACCESS

Just your group — no shared tables

This is a private experience: a dedicated guide, exclusive tasting room and an itinerary served only to your party, ensuring uninterrupted time on the estate and at the tasting table.

THE VIEWS

The spiral vineyard and panoramic Tuscan slopes

With a private guide you can stop at the distinctive spiral vineyard to absorb the panorama and ask questions at your own pace, away from the timing of larger groups.

MORNING PERK

Barrel room access in morning sessions

Morning private sessions (9am–11am) include a visit to the cellar’s barrel room and barriques, a viewing not available in later sessions.

The tour begins with a private welcome and short introduction, then moves out across vernaccia and Sangiovese slopes where a guide explains the vines and views. You’ll visit the spiral vineyard for panoramic vistas, return to the estate for a cellar visit (barrel room access available on morning bookings), and sit for a private tasting that follows the estate’s full production line — whites and rosés, a broad red selection including Brunello, three Super Tuscans, multiple olive oils and a Balsamic Gold Reserve paired with local salumi, cheeses and cantuccini.
