Our San Gimignano Food Tour is a walking tour in small groups around the old town. The tourist is guided by a Local Expert able to explain every detail of the selected restaurants, their preparations, and the relevant history/curiosities. Our tours are a mix of high-quality gastronomy as a way of showing San Gimignano culture and lifestyle and a walking experience together with a local friend. Have a full meal in at least 4 stops: you will get the chance to try some of the most iconic San Gimignano dishes, such as wild boar cured meats, local pici with tomato sauce and pecorino, schiacciata with cured meats, and of course, Vernaccia wine!
