Very good tasting of wines from the local DOCG
Excellent tasting of four wines from the local DOCG, presented by a very informative guide. Although there are set times for tastings on their website, we were able to turn up and book in for our tasting immediately.

Exceptional Experience
It was just my wife and I. This was a personal experience. We learned alot about the pride of the Tuscany wine region. The view was fabulous as we booked a late afternoon tasting. The knowledge of the young gentleman giving the class was understood very well.

Excellent experience- recommend
The welcome we received was really friendly. The semilier was very knowledgeable and it was an immersive experience. It was brilliant for beginners and we both learnt a lot. It was good to try the variety of wines and understand what it is about the wine we preferred so, we know what to look out for. Highly recommend this experience and can buy the glasses for €6 each as a great souvenir.

Buyer beware.
It was a total nightmare. I made a reservation for a 3:00 tasting for 2 the day before and paid with my CC. Through a glitch in the online reservation system, I mistakenly registered twice for 2 people. There were 2 of us, but I made 2 separate reservations 5 minutes apart. (4 tastings total. ) The owner (manager?) of the wine experience emailed hours before the tasting asking me to to clarify. At the time he sent it I was already in San Gimignano where I had no signal so I never saw it. Arriving early for the tasting (10-15) minutes the owner said that we had a problem. From the start he insisted, "this is a problem for you, not for me." I made clear that there were only 2 of us, and that we did not need a tasting for 4 people, and that I did not intend to pay for 4 tastings. Since he had room for 8 couples and had only booked 3 couples I did not understand what the problem was. He claimed that he could not make a refund because his online platform shut down at 2:00. (Not true.) When asked to do it the next day his response was, "we cannot, we are closed.) He repeated a half dozen time "this is problem for you, not for me" I eventually pointed out that it was a problem for both of us. Much dialog ensued which became very heated. I made clear that I was happy to proceed with the tasting if he was willing to refund the mistaken charge. He was adamant that he could not and would not do that. At that point I lost all interest in the experience, and said given the situation was leaving and would be cancelling ALL 4 of the reservations with my credit card co. I walked out. He followed me, and only than FINALLY agreed to give a refund for the 2nd reservation. Although I was in no mood to stay I did because the person travelling with me wanted to. I did listen to the presentation and tasted all the wines, although I did not consume 90% of the wine. (I never leave a glass empty.) To be fair, the wines were excellent, the presentation was extremely well done, and the knowledge and passion of the owner was to be admired; however, I could not wait to get out of there. Why he chose to create such an ugly situation right before one that was supposed to be so special is beyond me. It was a total nightmare.

Amazing experience in a beautiful location!
This was a great experience in a beautiful location! Our tasting was lead by a knowledgeable man who made this experience really great. He was entertaining and friendly and we learnt so much whilst being taught how to really appreciate wine and the differences in every one. The location is great, we grabbed a glass after our tasting experience and sat on the beautiful outside area on top of a beautiful hill with a fantastic view and musicians adding to an excellent an ambient atmosphere!

Why this scores 70
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Wine tasting in San Gimignano: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for San Gimignano.
How much does Wine tasting in San Gimignano cost?
+
Prices start at $35 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 Wine tasting in San Gimignano take?
+
Plan for about 0.8 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 Wine tasting in San Gimignano worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 45 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in San Gimignano, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Wine tasting in San Gimignano?
+
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 Wine tasting in San Gimignano suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 0.8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Wine tasting in San Gimignano?
+
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 0.8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Wine tasting in San Gimignano 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 happens to Wine tasting in San Gimignano if the weather is bad?
+
It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in San Gimignano. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.
What do travelers say about Wine tasting in San Gimignano?
