San Gimignano: The Cellar Lunch by Poggio ai Laghi

This experience is dedicated to those who wish to enjoy the time of the table in its most complete form. A lunch designed to accompany the day without haste, where wine meets a cuisine rooted in tradition and everyday gestures.

In this place, in the heart of San Gimignano, just steps from the historic center, lunch becomes a moment of continuity with the past. The story of Ava and her handmaids is reflected in the idea of hospitality and care, values that have long belonged to this land and find expression in the sharing of food.

The gastronomic journey unfolds through multiple courses, each conceived to dialogue with the wines being tasted. Full, recognizable flavors accompany the experience, creating a balance between intensity, structure, and pleasure.
