The lecture and aroma training prior to the actual tasting was so valuable. It helped me taste the wine in a more sophisticated way. We were fortunate in that there were only 2 other people in the class--a father and his daughter who were delightful. Highly recommend this for those who wish to learn more about wine making and tasting!

We had a great tasting with Andrea! He has a real passion for the vernaccia di san gimignano and showed us averting in the little museum and took us on a journey for the senses! Afterwards we went to one of the winemakers to buy wine, and got a simular great welcome

The wine experience at the La Rocca in San Gimignano was fantastic. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and was fun, too. We learned about the history of the Vernaccia di San Gimignano wine and got a great background in the process, soils, and aromas to expect. We tasted 6 different wines and compared them for color, smell, and taste. By the end, we had a great understanding of the local wines and had enjoyed the whole experience.

Fui a penúltima visita a uma vinícola em nosso tour, e sempre tivemos uma experiência nova , fomos recebidos pela própria a Laura e seu gerente, sem explicação para o afeto e carinho que nos propuseram !! Degustação também incrível e jantar inspirador pela simplicidade

Mi é piaciuto il luogo in cui si é svolta la degustazione e la presentazione dei produttori, ottima la scelta degli assaggi.. Simpatico e molto originale il teatro delle seggiole Ritengo però un po' scorso l accompagnamento di cibo con i vini poiché gli assaggi non erano sufficienti per fare sei degustazioni, comunque nell insieme ottima iniziativa... Da ripetere

Molto carino. Personale gentilissimo e paziente. Cibo di ottima qualità e a km0. Lo consiglio per gli amanti dilettanti

Esperienza favolosa e unica! Ho scelto di prenotare la Top Masterclass Wine Tasting perché volevo conoscere i vini tipici della città di San Gimignano. Questa esperienza è una vera lezione sul vino. Oltre alla degustazione di sei vini con abbinamenti di prodotti tipici, è compreso anche una lezione sugli aromi e profumi dei vini nella sala dei profumi. Complimenti al personale, molto competente, professionale e disponibile. Spero di tornare presto a degustare al Vernaccia di San Gimignano Wine Experience!
