Tuscany is the land of the Etruscans — a region rich in history and full of famous wineries, home to some of the most beautiful cities in the world, like San Gimignano, Florence, Siena, Pisa, Lucca, Montepulciano and many others. Imagine a dream vacation in the Tuscan countryside: the kind that makes you want to give up everything and start a new life near the most beautiful, romantic vineyards in Italy.
Tenuta Torciano
42 wine experiences, 365 days a year
At Tenuta Torciano Winery, while the grapes ripen in the vineyards, we organize 42 wine experiences to live and enjoy, 365 days a year. We can start with a "Visit with Lunch in the Vineyard", surrounded by nature and beautiful views, always accompanied by birdsong.
Then move on to a "Truffle Hunt with Trained Dogs", cooking together with our chefs directly in the vineyard, using our fabulous Mobile Kitchen.
You'll have the chance to taste 12 types of Super Tuscan wines, paired with dishes of Tuscan cuisine taken from the recipes of the cookbook "About Sangimignano", written by Vittoria Caterina Giachi. The cookbook is available in English and Italian, so you can cook our Tuscan recipes at home with friends and family.
Why not organize a picnic directly on the river, refreshed by the shade of tree branches, in absolute silence, surrounded only by the music of the flowing water?
Torciano Hotel
An 11th-century stay in the Tuscan countryside
During the day it's a nice idea to visit the great cities of Siena and Florence, returning in the evening to our 11th-century Torciano Hotel, in the Tuscan countryside close to San Gimignano, Siena, Volterra and Florence. The style of our hotel is linked to the bourgeois and noble class of the Tuscan Renaissance era, and it's the place for the perfect relaxing holiday. The hotel is located in the historic center of Borgo Ulignano – San Gimignano, a town famous for the production of Vernaccia di San Gimignano and Chianti wines.
The welcoming atmosphere of the village will make your stay pleasant and enjoyable in the Tuscany of wine and taste.
We've enriched this hotel with things we love: a selection of products from our Tenuta Torciano winery, such as wine, oil, balsamic vinegar, fresh vegetables from our garden and, of course, the famous Vernaccia di San Gimignano white wine. We invite you to explore the garden, admire the centuries-old cypress trees, the orchard, visit our vineyards, our vegetable garden, and visit our cellar.
Now the last thing to do is take the ticket and come to our world, "Torciano". — Pierluigi and Luciana Giachi
