San Gimignano is a small, beautifully conserved medieval town to the North of Siena, characterised by its numerous towers. The town is situated on the top of a hill on the slopes of which the most famous of Tuscany's white wine is produced: the Vernaccia.We suggest you combine a Vernaccia Tour with a visit to San Gimignano, Colle Val d'Elsa and Monteriggioni.
Those wishing to venture further in to this part of Tuscany, might like to head towards the Etruscan city of Volterra where to explore the town's many archaeological sites and the workshops where the local alabaster is carved.
To see: San Gimignano, Colle Val d'Elsa, Monteriggioni, Salivolpe Castle, the Cassero of Poggibonsi.
