Description:

An amiable town known for its imposing towers and medieval architecture, San Gimignano is a must-see destination while in Tuscany. Discover cultural treasures, see classic medieval designs, and sample fine regional wines as you gain an insight into the history and heritage of this charming area.

Settle into a comfortable minivan and head northwest, through the gentle hills of Val d'Elsa to San Gimignano. This small township oozes charm, art, and a rich heritage. It's known as “The Town of Fine Towers” due to its history of imposing buildings that showed off its power and wealth.

With your guide, explore the ancient walls that protect the well-preserved town. Pass by Romanesque and Gothic-style structures—like the Palazzo Comunale, Collegiate Church, and Church of Sant'Agostino—as your guide tells you about San Gimignano's economic and cultural restoration thanks to the generosity of many travelers.

Delve even deeper into San Gimignano's culture with a winetasting. Home to a wide variety of Vernaccia grapes, this town is renowned for its production of white wines. Visit a vineyard and enjoy samples of the region's famous specialty vintages before returning to your Siena hotel.
