Summer brings sun, bright colors, and fruit like strawberries and cherries. At Tenuta Torciano, in San Gimignano, the best way to celebrate the season is an outdoor lunch, or you can visit the vineyard and enjoy lunch and wine tasting in the winery.
You can book a unique experience in Tuscany and choose the one you like best: lunch, dinner or barbeque.
To spend a nice day outdoors, follow a few simple tips.
Setting the table
Choose an old table for outdoors, white porcelain, and a colorful centerpiece — flowers or a composition of seasonal fruit. Outdoor dining is always a moment of celebration.
Fresh and light
The menu should stay fresh and light. Choose seasonal ingredients and quick, tasty recipes, such as barley salad with asparagus and strawberries. Pair it with a fresh, light wine perfect for summer, such as Vernaccia di San Gimignano. It's best served chilled.
To end on a sweet note
Finish the day with ice cream topped with cherry wine sauce. The same cherry red wine sauce also works well on pancakes or cakes. Ice cream lovers can join a cooking class to learn the traditional art of making ice cream.
