Visit of the Vineyard with Lunch and Winetasting in Winery

This visit takes you inside the vineyards of the Giachi family, seen through the territory and through a wide tasting of the wines it produces. The landscape and the architecture are part of the experience too: the barrel room, the wine cellar, and tasting rooms both indoors and out in the garden.

Step one

The vineyard

Start with the ancient Vernaccia vineyard of San Gimignano, still standing under the management Romano Giachi gave it in 1996 — the vineyard that gave its name to "Poggioaicieli," one of the most famous wines of the area. It is one of the vineyards planted with Vernaccia di San Gimignano grapes, facing south to south-east. Do not miss the Sangiovese vineyard either.

The garden vineyard is a newer, spiral-shaped planting that brings together production, beauty and tradition, and has become a draw for "maniacs of the discovery." Rows of vines run in a harmonious spiral circle, in intermittent motion around a central stone island, a vantage point from which to take in the whole spectacle.

Step two

The cellar

An experienced guide walks you through the history of Tenuta Torciano and its current production line. The visit runs 1.5 to 2 hours, and along the way you taste wines of our own production.

Step three
