ULIGNANO FARM FIELD GUIDE
Two Wineries, One Afternoon: Cellars and Tower Views in Ulignano’s Tuscan Hills
A focused, 3-hour visit to two distinct estates near San Gimignano that pairs comprehensive tastings of wines, olive oils and balsamic with guided cellar tours and an included shuttle between properties.
Two Wineries, One Afternoon: Cellars and Tower Views in Ulignano’s Tuscan Hills.
Set against the rolling hills around San Gimignano, this short but concentrated tasting route threads two very different Tuscan estates: a sunlit vineyard and barrel-aging rooms at the first stop, then historic underground cellars and a tasting framed by the town’s medieval towers at the second. Across the two properties you’ll sample the region’s signature wines alongside olive oils, balsamic vinegar and local cheeses for a compact, immersive portrait of Chianti and the San Gimignano area.
Highlights
Outing Highlights
Two Estates, One Day
The itinerary is built around a deliberate side‑by‑side comparison of two distinct winery estates — each with its own cellar architecture, tasting style and character — all visited within a single three‑hour experience.
Underground Vaults and Tower Views
The second estate introduces dramatic, historic underground cellars carved into the rock, followed by a tasting set against panoramic views of San Gimignano’s medieval towers and the surrounding Tuscan hills.
A Broad, Region‑Spanning Tasting Line‑Up
Between the two visits guests taste across the region’s range — Brunello and Chianti Classico, three Super Tuscan blends, Vernaccia DOCG, multiple olive oils and a balsamic reserve — typically paired with Tuscan cheeses, salami and bruschetta.
What the day feels like
How the afternoon unfolds
The tour begins with arrival and a welcome at the first estate, followed by a guided walk through the vineyards and visits to barrel‑aging and fermentation cellars. A tasting at that property covers Brunello di Montalcino DOCG, Chianti Classico and Super Tuscan blends alongside olive oils and a balsamic reserve paired with local cheeses, salami and bruschetta. A shuttle then carries the group to the second estate for a guided tour of historic underground cellars and a closing tasting with direct views of San Gimignano’s medieval towers.
