    Two great experiences

    My wife and I had one of the great meals of our lives at the vineyard in September 2018: perfectly paired wines and food, a magnificent view up the hill to San Gimignano, and a stroll in the vineyard afterward. We absolutely loved it. When the estate offered to bring the dining experience to the U.S. earlier this month, we shared that experience with friends in an evening full of tastes, laughter, and new sensations. The instruction in meal prep, wine and oil tasting, and the joy of gathering created another great experience. We still order olive oil from the estate.

    Great winery and lunch near S. Gimignano

    Our waiter was very knowledgible and kind. The views and surroundings are absolutely beautiful. We had the Tuscan lunch which had great selection of EVOs, balsamico and wines.

    Barely average

    Nice location, views of San Gimignano. We were 20 minutes late after our train from Florence to San Gimignano was cancelled last minute. The staff wasn't engaging or welcoming. The wine was mediocre and the food tastings bland. Look for something with your time and money

    Private Tuscan meal with Wine and EVO oil tasting: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for San Gimignano.

    How much does Private Tuscan meal with Wine and EVO oil tasting cost?

    +

    Prices start at $78 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in San Gimignano usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Private Tuscan meal with Wine and EVO oil tasting take?

    +

    Plan for about 1.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in San Gimignano is not rushed.

    Is Private Tuscan meal with Wine and EVO oil tasting worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 46 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in San Gimignano, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Private Tuscan meal with Wine and EVO oil tasting?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Private Tuscan meal with Wine and EVO oil tasting suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Private Tuscan meal with Wine and EVO oil tasting?

    +

    Around 16 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in San Gimignano can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in San Gimignano and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Private Tuscan meal with Wine and EVO oil tasting start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central San Gimignano within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in San Gimignano?

    +

    On Outty we rank every San Gimignano experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Wine and food tasting in an organic family winery, Tuscan Cooking Class, Tuscany Wine Tour: 2 Wineries & Chianti from San Gimignano. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit San Gimignano?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in San Gimignano?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Private Tuscan meal with Wine and EVO oil tasting?

    +

    Included: Bottled water; Alcoholic beverages; Wine tasting; and Lunch. Not included: Transportation to and from attractions; and Hotel pick-up and drop-off. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    What languages is Private Tuscan meal with Wine and EVO oil tasting offered in?

    +

    It is offered in English and Italian. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
