Great experience Amazing wines and food the views are incredible as well! We had a lovely time and would recommend anyone do it!
This was an absolute highlight of our trip. The information was exceptional. We learnt a lot but vineyards, wine making, and wine tasting. An outstanding afternoon. (and the sniffing was a pile of fun)
Very interesting both the lesson and the tasting. Very kind and knowledgeable staff. The place a little hard to find ..
Guide Stefano was very friendly and explained the whole history of this wine. Then he took us to smell all the aromas that make up the wine, giving ample explanation of why the wine takes those aromas. He explained the pairing of the different six types of wine and with which types of food go well. Stefano answered all the doubts that arose kindly and from his great knowledge and passion for wines and the area. I recommend the tour to all interested in it and those who want to learn to taste wines properly when ordered in the restaurant.
It was a nice experience. Kudos to the sommelier. Excellent wines. Fine cheeses, pastries and prosciutto. Nice view and good destination.
The lecture and aroma training prior to the actual tasting was so valuable. It helped me taste the wine in a more sophisticated way. We were fortunate in that there were only 2 other people in the class--a father and his daughter who were delightful. Highly recommend this for those who wish to learn more about wine making and tasting!
This was by far the most informative wine class/tasting we have ever done. Would highly recommend it.
Excellent explanation by Andrea. Knowledgeable about region and wines. Brought group together well and managed in two different languages.
We had a great tasting with Andrea! He has a real passion for the vernaccia di san gimignano and showed us averting in the little museum and took us on a journey for the senses! Afterwards we went to one of the winemakers to buy wine, and got a simular great welcome
The wine experience at the La Rocca in San Gimignano was fantastic. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and was fun, too. We learned about the history of the Vernaccia di San Gimignano wine and got a great background in the process, soils, and aromas to expect. We tasted 6 different wines and compared them for color, smell, and taste. By the end, we had a great understanding of the local wines and had enjoyed the whole experience.
