TORCIANO AL FRESCO – Countryside Restaurants

We know that many of you travel to Tuscany to visit the winery for spring and summer holidays and we can’t wait to welcome you to Tenuta Torciano in San Gimignano!

As part of our ongoing health and safety projects, we are much delighted to introduce our Al Fresco Vineyard Restaurant in the Countryside, a property wide dining program that allows all of our visitors to enjoy their restaurants with wine tasting outdoor favorites in the fresh air!

Keep in mind that it took a lot of thought, care, time and love in planning the Countryside Al Fresco experience. Facemasks are required indoors, so don’t forget to bring face cover when shopping and dining with our instructor sommeliers.
We help keep our team members and each of you safe so we can continue to deliver a wonderful Al Fresco experience in the Countryside with Tenuta Torciano.

Still an important part of our daily life is complicated, sometimes it is difficult to see all the beauty that still surrounds us.
At Tenuta Torciano since May we have reopened visits to our cellars, our vineyards, the restaurants in the outdoor spaces and inside the cellars with regular distances between the tables.
The uncontaminated nature that surrounds us, palaces and towers, places of unique history and culture or simply a characteristic vineyard hidden in the heart of Tenuta Torciano, are happy to welcome all guests who want to enjoy an outdoor wine experience.
