If you have about an hour
A tasting with the Giachi family
In the Tuscan landscape of San Gimignano, surrounded by green hills, vineyards and olive groves, with the magnificent view of the famous Towers, the Giachi family and its staff teach wine enthusiasts how to taste Tuscan wines: oenological techniques, food and wine pairing, and the use of the five senses, all in a friendly, relaxing and fun atmosphere.

A cooking class among the vines
In our kitchen, which can accommodate up to 50 people, with restaurant and colorful tables for outdoor dining surrounded by vineyards, guests can take part in private cooking classes ending with a party of lunch and thirteen wines to taste.
