    Incredible Wine, Oil and Truffle meal experience!

    What an incredible experience! The views were incredible, the staff was kind and accommodating to our large group. We were able to drink a variety of wines as well as try a variety of their olive oils and balsamic vinegars. They did a great job of pairing the meal with the wine. As for the truffles, I have had truffles many times in the states, but they are nothing compared to these. They also will ship their product to the States, which means you can have your favorites again and again. I would definitely recommend this tour and any others they offer.

    Well, we expected more...

    We booked a wine, oil and balsamic tasting with truffle meal due to the many good reviews. The restaurant itself is beautiful. The oils and vinegars were also really delicious. However, we were somewhat surprised at the purchase prices of 37-55€ for a small bottle of oil or balsamic. But good, you don't have to buy anything;-) The service was very nice, however, all information about the wines were memorized down rattled. A proper tourist check-in as it is in the book. We were also disappointed as we expected a four-course menu (eventually cost 70€ per person) and ended up with just a bit of brusscetta, truffle noodles and a small cream as a dessert. We felt that was a bit overpriced. There was also only a small sip of four wines to taste. A guided tour or tour of the wine cellar or the vineyards unfortunately did not exist and was not offered to us. What a shame! But if you want to spend a lot of money on a meal that is fully okay, this is the place:-)

    Wonderful experience

    Many thanks to this wonderful family. We had a superb lunch with the most delicious wines and oils. We were made to feel very welcome. The family all spoke English to us and explained all the different foods and wines perfectly. Highly recommended.

    Private Wine & Evo oil tasting with Truffle Meal: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Private Wine & Evo oil tasting with Truffle Meal cost?

    +

    Prices start at $97 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 Wine & Evo oil tasting with Truffle Meal 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 Wine & Evo oil tasting with Truffle Meal worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.2/5 across 5 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 Wine & Evo oil tasting with Truffle Meal?

    +

    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 Wine & Evo oil tasting with Truffle Meal 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 Wine & Evo oil tasting with Truffle Meal?

    +

    Around 2 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 Wine & Evo oil tasting with Truffle Meal 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 Wine & Evo oil tasting with Truffle Meal?

    +

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

    What languages is Private Wine & Evo oil tasting with Truffle Meal 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.
