Privéwijn, Evo-oliën en balsamico-azijnervaring met maaltijd

We hadden een fantastische ervaring in dit prachtige wijnhuis buiten San Gimignano. Het was mijn man en ik en onze 16 en 14 jaar oud. De olijfolie, balsamicoazijn en wijn waren heerlijk. De serveerster was lief en informatief en beantwoordde alle vragen. De lunch die werd geserveerd was geweldig - gnocchi en een broodsoep (?) Het wordt door een familie gerund en is zeer comfortabel. Er liepen ook 2 schattige poedels rond waar we van hielden! Het uitzicht was ongelooflijk! Het was een heerlijke dag en zo blij dat we gingen! Het was een geweldige ervaring.

We have visited this winery twice and both experiences have been exceptional. For this particular tour, we had a tour of the vineyard with Ilaria before settling in for the wine tasting and "light meal." (This light meal is more than enough for lunch.) The winery is easy to find with plenty of parking, just outside of the city center in San Gimignano. (If you stay in San Gimignano, you could walk to the winery.) We started off by tasting a few white wines along with traditional Tuscan bruschetta. All the ingredients were fresh and delicious. After that, we enjoyed tasting some of the vineyards red wines (Nottolo, my favorite), along with a farfalle pasta with fresh tomato basil sauce. The pasta was absolutely delicious. (It's probably when we realized we will never be able to eat pre-made pasta sauce ever again.) After the pasta, they brought out various Tuscan salamis, pecorino cheeses, olive oils, and balsamic vinegars for us to try with fresh bread. (There was, of course, more wine, too.) At the conclusion of the meal, they brought us the traditional almond biscotti and sweet wine to try. They didn't bring the order form for the wine, olive oil, and balsamic vinegars until the meal and there was never pressure to purchase whatsoever. We ended up buying a few things to take with us to enjoy for the rest of our trip and shipped a few bottles of the balsamic vinegar home. (I've yet to see balsamic with saffron anywhere else.) All prices include shipping. When one of the bottles was broken, the shipping company got it replaced immediately and it showed up within a few days. The service was truly exceptional, and the experience is a memorable one. We enjoyed it so much that we booked a second tour when we took my mom on a trip. Since being home, we have continued to order from this winery. The prices are very reasonable.
