Siena Chianti Sunset at San Giorgio a Lapi: Winery Visit, Tasting and Terrace Dinner
An evening in Tuscany rarely gets this close to the people who make the wine. The winery sits a few minutes from Siena, on the line between Chianti and the Crete Senesi, and the family that runs it leads the visit itself. The evening combines three parts: a walk through the family's vineyards and cellars, a tasting of their wines, and a traditional Tuscan dinner served at sunset. Dinner is on a panoramic terrace with views over the hills of Chianti and the Crete Senesi, two distinct landscapes of the Siena area seen from one table. This is neither a quick tasting nor a restaurant booking. The hosts tell the story of the estate as the group moves from vineyard to church to cellar to terrace, and the evening ends at a relaxed pace over wine and local food.

Winery San Giorgio a Lapi
Church of San Giorgio a Lapi The church stands among the vineyards and olive groves. It dates to the 11th century and keeps frescoes from the Nasini school, a reminder of how old the land around Chianti and the Crete Senesi is.
