Tenuta Torciano
About
Tenuta Torciano is a family‑run estate nestled just outside the medieval town of San Gimignano, in the heart of Tuscany. Situated on 13 hectares of terraced vineyards, olive groves and historic cellars, the estate offers visitors an immersive look at over a century of winemaking tradition carried on by the Giachi family since the 19th century. Guests are welcomed to explore the winery’s production facilities, where they can learn how Tuscan wines are crafted from vine to bottle in an authentic, relaxed setting. Alongside the wine experience, the estate offers more than 45 tasting options—from Super Tuscan blends and classic Chianti to Vino Nobile di Montepulciano and Brunello di Montalcino—plus truffle hunts, olive‑oil tastings, cooking classes that teach traditional Tuscan dishes, and private lunches in historic towers or the legendary legacy room. Beyond wine, Tenuta Torciano is a culinary destination: an on‑site restaurant serves regional specialties, and an intimate boutique hotel, "Vecchio Asilo", offers overnight stays surrounded by the rolling Tuscan countryside. Whether you arrive for a single day of tastings, a weekend getaway, or a once‑in‑a‑lifetime truffle hunt, the estate delivers a complete Tuscan experience that celebrates wine, cuisine, and the harmonious beauty of the surrounding landscape.
