San Gimignano Day Trip from Florence | Tuscan Winery, Gelati & Scenic Roads

Join us on the ultimate one-day road trip from Florence to San Gimignano — Tuscany's iconic medieval hill town of towers — then just outside the walls to Tenuta Torciano for a guided wine, food, and olive oil tasting with friends. We chase cypress-lined backroads, wander stone lanes packed with history, hunt down the best gelato in town, and soak in sweeping views across the Tuscan hills. Then it's golden hour at the vineyard — crisp Vernaccia di San Gimignano, bold Sangiovese, and fresh bread dunked in peppery extra virgin olive oil. This is Tuscany done right.
