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).
Excellent class, this was my second time bringing a group to take it. Highly recommend!
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.
Amazing learning and sensory (smells and tasting) experience! Our guide was very knowledgeable taking us through the history of and historical references to the vernaccia grape, how Italian wine is standardized with DOCG, DOC, etc, an aromatics test, and finally a wine tasting with bites of food paired with it. In particular, if you know a bit about wine but would like to know more, this is a great experience.
What a lovely location to imbibe a small glass of vino and I mean small. The view however was huge and hmm so was the cost of the wine. Sorry but 8 euros for the reds we tried, frankly, they are overcharging. They indicated they provide 110 ml but as far as I'm concerned they were short pours. As a former bar manager I know how much one should charge per glass to break even and also to make a profit, I did observe the server topped up a few customers without charge (they were white wine though)! I don't want to take away from our server, who was quite pleasant but... I recommend the view. I don't recommend buying any wine from this location. Just go and enjoy the view.
