Cooking Class or Wine Tasting? Why Not Both in San Gimignano

If you’re visiting Tuscany, chances are you’ve already planned a wine tasting. But what if you could combine it with something even more immersive — like learning to cook a traditional Tuscan meal?

In San Gimignano, many experiences offer the perfect pairing: a hands-on cooking class followed by a local wine tasting. It’s the best way to savor the region with all five senses.

Why combine a cooking class with wine tasting?

• Total immersion: Learn the recipes, cook the food, then taste it with the right wine — often from the very vineyard you’re standing in.
• Local connection: Meet small producers, chefs, and winemakers who love to share their traditions.
• Cultural depth: Food and wine are deeply linked in Tuscan culture. Experiencing them together offers a richer story.

What to expect from these experiences

Most of these combo classes start with a tour of the vineyard or garden, followed by a cooking session — usually pasta, pizza, or regional dishes — and end with a guided tasting of local wines (like Vernaccia di San Gimignano).

They are often held in scenic farmhouses or wine estates, and some include extras like olive oil tastings or garden visits.

Who is it for?

• Couples looking for a romantic and meaningful activity
• Foodies who want more than just a tasting room
• Groups celebrating a special occasion
• Travelers wanting a truly local memory
