Once boasting over 70 towers, 14 remain today, creating an open-air museum that transports visitors back in time. San Gimignano is renowned for its saffron, the "Golden Ham," and its white wine, Vernaccia di San Gimignano, produced from the ancient Vernaccia grape variety cultivated on the surrounding sandstone hills. In Piazza della Cisterna, don't miss the opportunity to taste some of the world's best gelato, and as you stroll through the village's streets, admire the extraordinary craftsmanship of local artisans. For a breathtaking view of the Tuscan hills, consider climbing the Torre Grossa, the tallest tower in the city.

Our driver Michel was unbelievably knowledgeable and helpful. He took great care of us and we felt like we were in great hands. The winery was lovely. We would have liked to have learned more about the winery and wines. Otherwise it was very enjoyable.
