San Gimignano: The Wine Prelude Wine tasting at Poggio ai Laghi

In the heart of San Gimignano, just a short walk from the historic center and surrounded by the rolling Tuscan hills, The Wine Prelude offers an elegant introduction to the world of Poggio ai Laghi.

Here, time flows at a natural pace, among vineyards, earthy aromas, and traditions carefully passed down through generations. The story of Ava and her handmaids quietly accompanies the experience, like a subtle presence that recalls care, patience, and respect for the rhythms of nature. Their voices seem to blend with those of the land, suggesting that every harmony is born from the meeting of different elements.

This experience invites guests to discover the identity of our estate through a guided tasting journey, a path through wines, olive oils, and balsamic vinegars that express the richness and elegance of the Tuscan territory.
