Private Exploration Of San Gimignano And Volterra Featuring Etruscan History And Traditional Alabaster Artisan Workshops


Experience a full day of discovery with a private tour tailored to your personal preferences, focusing on the charm of San Gimignano and Volterra. San Gimignano, often called the city of beautiful towers, is one of Italy’s most romantic hilltop towns. A guided walk through the surrounding countryside provides an immersive look at the breathtaking Tuscan landscapes, which can also be admired from the town’s historic windows and ramparts, offering a unique perspective on this medieval gem.


Perched atop a hill overlooking the Val d'Elsa, San Gimignano is renowned for its remaining 14 medieval towers, a testament to its rich history. The town is also famous for producing Tuscany’s finest white wine, Vernaccia di San Gimignano, which you will have the opportunity to sample throughout the area. This private tour allows you to explore the town at your own pace, ensuring you have ample time to appreciate the architecture and the local flavors that define this region.


The journey continues to Volterra, a town perched on a stunning rocky promontory that offers commanding views of the rugged and wild surrounding countryside. Known for its deep Etruscan roots and well-preserved medieval streets, Volterra is a fascinating destination for history lovers. You will have the chance to visit numerous workshops where local artisans skillfully transform alabaster into delicate, translucent souvenirs, keeping alive a craft that has been practiced in this area for many centuries.


This day trip is a perfect blend of Tuscany’s history, art, and natural beauty, combined with an authentic wine experience. By choosing a private tour, you gain the flexibility to spend more time at the sites that interest you most, whether that is exploring ancient ruins or enjoying a quiet moment in a local vineyard. It is an ideal way to experience the hidden treasures of the Tuscan interior in a comfortable and personalized setting.

This is certainly the place to learn about Vernaccia di S Gimignano. We thoroughly enjoyed our Superior Wine Tasting, where we were taken through various levels, from young and not particularly complex (but refreshing and enjoyable) up to Riserva wines, which were much serious. We also sampled a local red wine (a Merlot). The presenter pitched it perfectly - neither too simple nor over our heads - and encouraged us to concentrate on the elements of flavour in the wines and the reasons why it went well with certain types of food. The wines were paired with snacks to demonstrate this - from bruschetta with olive oil, through pecorino cheeses to air dried ham and salami. We left feeling refreshed and (more importantly) much better informed about Vernaccia. As a bonus, the Experience’s position high on San Gimignano’s walls provides fantastic views (and sunsets).

Wish i could speak to the experience but i cannot. We had a tasting booked at 12:00, but we ran late after trying to find parking for almost an hour. I can accept that being late was our fault but the staff was unwilling to offer any options to us other than booking later at full price. Maybe a discount for a later slot as they already had our payment in full? Disapointing since the place looked rather empty and we had already paid over €120 for 2 of us. Beware that parking near town can be very full and to give yourself extra time to arrive before your booking.
