    This experience was the highlight of our group tour to San Gimignano from Livorno. It was part of a NCL tour that included a visit to the medieval village, but with emphasis on the wine of the region. We were taken to this lovely estate, while dodging roosters and chickens as our bus entered through the main gate. It's such a picturesque setting for a wine tasting. I can see that many events are celebrated in these vineyards all year round. The beautiful rose bushes along the trail leading to the wine tasting room added even more charm. Gabrielle was our guide for this tour. He gave us a great presentation of all that Tenuta Torciano has to offer. It all started with the appetizer plate that went perfectly with their amazing Vernaccia wine. It is such a beautiful golden color with a bright and crisp fruity taste. The grape is only grown in this region. It's a must try when in San Gimignano. I was also very much in love with the Rosato IGT Toscana wine that is very deep pink in color. It looks so pretty in the bottle. It was my second favorite of the 9 or 10 different wines that we tasted. It was an extremely generous amount for the cost. I even purchased a couple of reds, which I'm not usually fond of because they give me headaches. These did not have that affect on me. The Super Tuscan red wines called Bartolomeo & Baldassarre totally won me over. In all honesty, I've never spent this much on wine in my entire life. It was worth it. They ship it straight to your home. They have a stateside warehouse in Chicago which makes it so convenient. The package arrived a couple of days after we returned from our trip. It was exactly what we ordered, and packed with such wonderful care. Great service! We also were given the opportunity to try their flavored olive oils and balsamic vinegar. The truffle oil was drizzled over the lasagna for the tasting, but it was the balsamic vinegar that was a big hit with my husband. We've been getting a lot of use out of it when making bruschetta and caprese salad at home. It's delicious! The sweet ending to our tasting was the Vin Beato dessert wine. We dipped the cantucci (or biscotti cookies) into the wine. It was the perfect ending to a lovely wine tasting experience. I really wasn't expecting a full meal, nor was I expecting so many different wine samplings. It exceeded our expectations. I believe they have a number of different experiences here like truffle hunting and horseback riding. Just check out their website. I would have never known about this place had I not booked a tour through the cruise line. It was a memorable visit with an excellent wine tasting. I'd do it again if ever in San Gimignano.

    I went to this vineyard for a wine tasting and it was the best I have EVER been on. The vineyard as a whole was breathtaking, the wine was delicious, and the service was *chef's kiss*! Being able to tour the grounds and try world-renowned wines was a must. I can't express enough how great this experience was!

    This Vineyard tour was set up by our tour company so we had no idea what to expect. The grounds were beautiful. Great assortment of wine, literally dozens and dozens to choose from. We had the wine tasting which consisted of five top notch wines but they let us try anything else we wanted to try. Our guides were very knowledgeable and really made us feel at home. If you're in the area, definitely check them out or order some of their wines online.

    Tenuta Torciano is a lovely winery located near San Gimignano in Tuscany, Italy. Owned by the Giachi family, there's a long history of creating fine wine and olive oil. The sprawling vineyard is stunning. We had a wonderful experience here. We showed up without a reservation and the staff couldn't be friendlier or more welcoming. We were offered a glass of wine as soon as we walked in and it was easy to make arrangements for a full tasting with charcuterie. Kiarra walked us to the tasting room where we were seated. She was a wonderful host and gave us insight into the different wines. Each wine was better than the last and we sampled olive oil and balsamic vinegar all made on premise. Ordering wine was easy too. They own a warehouse in Chicago so orders are shipped from there and transit time is much faster. It was impressive and we had a wonderful time.

    What a joke.  $100 for Lunch at their castle

    Tourist trap. The photos are not accurate. Somehow Trip Advisor does not allow you to see visitor photos. This is essentially something similar to a time share type of high pressure presentation for over priced wine. We went to the $50/person lunch. It was a joke and we left immediately. I've included a photo of what this "castle" actually looks like. Apparently they get "influencers" to attend and show their "fantastic" goods. Don't fall for it. It's in the back of an industrial district. It's not what it looks like in the photos. Tried to leave a review on trip advisor for the event we paid for, but it noted they posts for those events are no longer available. Don't fall for this.

    Fabulous winery. Great food beautiful winery in Tuscany. Wine tasting. Great tour four course meal olive oil tasting as well.

    Wine tasting

    Had a wine tasting, scheduled by a 3rd party. We had no idea what to expect and it was fantastic. We tried 7 wines and appetizers plus a dessert wine. Our guide, Lorenzo, was knowledgeable, funny, and spoke excellent English. There were a variety of wines, with something for everyone. Intimate setting and reasonable pricing on wine with door to door shipping. Highly recommended experience.

    What a wonderful experience. We visited Tenuta Torciano as part of a wine tour while in Italy. It is family-owned with a wonderfully rich history that was worth learning about... it was incredible. From the moment we stepped onto the premises, it was fabulous. The views of the winery, the tasting area, etc. Everything was top notched and screamed history, family and class. I can't believe I forgot the host name. He was personable, funny and very relatable. He really explained the wines and made ordering and shipping back to the states very easy. This was the second of 2 places visited and it was a welcome change of comfort with a/c, clean rest rooms and great scenery. The tasting plates went well with the wines they had for tasting and more than enough to keep us full until dinner later that day. We also tried Extra-virgin Olive oil that was some of the best I've ever tasted. We ordered the truffled flavored oil and will be placing an order for more soon... also ordered 2 of the 3 wines we tried. The Rose' was really good. Everyone on the tour was talking about it. We received our order a few days after returning home as I was able to place the order and add a date for shipping. Really great service! If ever in Italy, it is a must!

    Excellent wine tasting and lunch Tenuta Torciano! Very informative walk through their history and selections of wines and oils. A generous lunch of meats, cheeses, oils, pasta and biscotti. One of the owners was our host and was very generous with his servings. The place has washrooms and cold a/c for the heat.

    Grounds

    Did a wine tasting and lunch here. Expertly organized. Lunch in a barrel room, person pouring wine experienced and pleasant (presumably one of many extended family members owning the winery). Lunch over the top with the best charcuterie plate we've had since arriving in Italy, followed by an AMAZING lasagna, roast pork and vegetables and dessert following. This plus 9 wines to taste. The grounds were beautiful. Absolutely worth the price and highly recommend.

    What an absolutely STUNNING winery! The ambiance inside and outside were incredible. I wish we got married there!! I went here through a booked wine tour. This was our first stop and we were impressed. I don't normally drink white wines unless I'm eating something specific but the white wine we samples was delicious. The Chianti was delicious as well. We ended up ordering the white and red wine. They gave us a good plate of snacks to enjoy our wines with. Overall, I cannot wait to go back!

    During our time in Tuscany we visited a few wineries and this was one of them in San Gimignano. What a beautiful location. We took a wine tasting tour and this was the first stop. Our host was amazing, explaining everything about the wine making here and the local traditions. I didn't like the wine so much but did love their balsamic vinegar and ordered a few bottles. They do ship to the US Can't wait to make some fresh bread and enjoy the vinegar....

    Wine tasting while the kids make fresh pasta? In Tuscany?!! Ummmm, yes please!! This place was a…read moredream! An absolute dream! I didn't book a cooking class in advance because I had no idea on our last trip just when we would be in Tuscany, but I knew I HAD to get my kids one! Wasn't leaving without one. Luckily, I came across this place who snuck me in a private class for the same day, at the time of MY choosing! Amazing! (Especially in prime time tourist season!) Communication was a tad iffy at first, but the owner himself called me and spoke English well enough to explain everything to me....the €50 per person price and they even send me the coordinates to this, one of a few locations of Torciano on Whats App. We were greeted so warmly by all upon arrival. The kids were told to wash up and then they were suiting in aprons. They were regular sized but the staff folded them just so to fit. I was immediately handed a glass of rose' and thought to myself "yaaaaaaassss". The kiddos were brought back to a professional kitchen with a chef who spoke pretty fair English. She had the kiddos mixing the flour for their own dough for pasta, chopping herbs and peppers with huge knife that honestly had me a tad nervous, but I trusted her. They boiled and peeled tomatoes for their sauce and rolled out their dough. They cut it by hand and not in a pasta making machine, which I personally loved! I actually loved the in consist shape and size of their noodles! It gave the dish such a rustic organic feel. I was such a proud mama!!! They mixed cheeses and plated their tri pepper crostini and their bruschetta. Not without a taste first. They also mixed sugar with marscapone for their tiramisu! It was a different type of tiramisu than I've seen. It was simply placed in a bowl. No fancy layers, just uber thick, creamy cheese with a powdered cocoa top. Since the kids are vegetarians they nixed making the white wine pork chop dish, which is usually included in this class. The chef did however still show us how to make it from afar and replaced that entree with a hearty omelette instead when it can time to chow down. All the while I was given a sample of the most incredible balsamic I have EVER tasted as well as many different wines. This was even before my proper tasting! They made me feel like royalty! We were soon seated at a lovely table where my tasting official began with a super informative, friendly sommelier!! I didn't try a wine I didn't like! I wound up purchasing the rose' and the prosecco, which is usually too sweet for me. This was actually on the drier more subdue (in a good way) side! I also bought an incredible cab sauv/Merlot Tuscan blend and their Vernaccia, a delicious crisp white. I was actually gifted a bottle of their All You Need Is Love, which retails at €120! It was fascinating to not only learn the process for making each specific variety, but also to hear which regions in Italy each grape grows and the reasons for the locations such a temperature etc. They also served us the 4 course meal the kiddos made! Everything was outstanding and that pasta I'm still dreaming about. Thick tagliatelle cooked perfectly al dente. It was UNREAL!! Our super kind waiter suggested I tried some pepporcini oil to drizzle atop the simple pomodoro covered pasta. It made the dish even more delicious, if you can imagine! It was the perfect amount of heat and flare. I bought a bottle of this to take home also. He said it was fantastic just drizzled over grilled veggies. It is!! I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone!! I appreciated them treated my nature 7 &9 year olds like adults in the kitchen. The class wasn't "dulled" down for them and they learned a ton. Since we've been home they've had a desire to help in the kitchen even that much more than they did before. They know how to properly chop veggies and use real knives. We plan on hosting a big family dinner making exactly this menu and popping open a bottle or two of their incredible wine. Overall such a wonderful experience for both my children and myself! Come VERY hungry and make sure to leave some room in your luggage for all the wine and oils you'll want to purchase. (I actually ditched most of my large toiletries and my hair dryer in exchange for these wines ((covers eyes)).) They do ship charging only a flat rate but you must buy a case of each type of wine, at a 30% discount though! Once I enjoy MOST of these bottles, I'm certainly placing a international order! It all just fantastic!

We had been on the trek to Greve, and not purchased anything, nor had any great experiences. On the way back to our farmhouse (Antico Borgo San Lorenzo) we stopped in town to purchase some vino for our fridge. We walked in here, and were warmly greeted by Manuela. She insisted that we come sit at the rustic table, and try some wine with her. What an experience! Before we knew it, there were 5+ bottles open - plus olive oil, balsamics & bread. We were delighted as she guided us through local wines. It was a far better experience than we had found in Greve. After an hour we realized that locals were coming in & filling their own bottles with wine - something we had never seen. They have 2 reds, and 1 white on tap to "fill your own bottle" - for 1.5 euro a liter! You can purchase a bottle there, or fill your own. We immediately emptied all of our water bottles, and purchased straw covered chianti bottles to refill with house vino. The kids filled and corked bottles for the next 30 minutes. We left with: (3) 2 liter water bottles of their premium red, a giant chianti bottle of white, several bottles we enjoyed at their table, and the BEST balsamic we've ever tasted. But the biggest thing we left with was a smile. This place is the real deal, and worth a stop if you're in the Siena area. It's a fun little local find you'll want to treasure.
