Wine, Oil & Vinegar Tasting with Tuscan Appetizers at Poggio ai Laghi in San Gimignano

Your tasting takes place at the Poggio ai Laghi historic Enoteca, a short walk from the center of San Gimignano, surrounded by the rolling Tuscan hills. Here, a sommelier from the team will guide you through an introduction to the estate's world.

The experience is built around the story of Ava and her handmaids, a quiet presence that recalls care, patience, and respect for nature's rhythms. Your guide will present each wine, explaining its grape varieties, winemaking process, and aromas, adapting the details to your level of knowledge.

The tasting includes five labels that express the character of the terroir:

Arella – Cuvée Extra Dry Sparkling Wine

Firmina – Rosé Extra Dry Sparkling Wine

Oletta – Chianti Riserva DOCG

Lucilla – Chianti Classico DOCG

Aranda – Rosso Toscana IGT (Supertuscan)

Alongside the wines, you will sample the estate's extra virgin olive oils (Classic, White Truffle, and Chili Pepper) and two balsamic vinegars: a Gold Selection Aceto Balsamico di Modena IGP and the “Lacrime Viola” red onion balsamic vinegar.

The tasting is paired with a selection of Tuscan specialties, including traditional cured meats like finocchiona and prosciutto, bruschetta with fresh tomatoes and basil, and toasted rustic bread with extra virgin olive oil. To conclude, you will be served traditional Cantuccini with Vin Santo.

Children are welcome to share the food pairing and will be served water or fruit juice on request. Alternative pasta dishes can also be requested for them.
