Your Destination
San Gimignano is a small medieval village dating back to the 8th century. It is perhaps the most famous of the small towns in Tuscany, known above all for its 14 towers overlooking picturesque olive groves and vineyards. Travelers who want to imagine what Tuscany was like in the Middle Ages should definitely visit San Gimignano.
If you choose an accommodation based in San Gimignano or in the surrounding area, you can travel in many different directions and discover artistic, naturalistic and historical beauties of Tuscany that will enrich your itinerary.
Some of these places are also easily accessible by public transport and are not far away. Just half an hour by car to your point of stay you will find the most renowned cities of Tuscany, such as Siena and Florence.
Visit of the vegetable Garden
The organic garden occupies a land of over 1000 square meters, where we are immediately surrounded by an expanse of infinite different vegetables.
There are tall branches of tomatoes that enthusiastically climb the poles. There are aubergine beds with lush green and purple hues. And lettuces, in multiple shapes, textures and shades of green and red.
The rows of vines that produce the grapes from which the wines of Tenuta Torciano are grown are flanked by the crops.
ccompanied by one of our farmers you can learn to recognize the varieties of vegetables, their vegetative and harvesting periods.The vegetable garden is an integral part of the experience of the Torciano Restaurant, whose cuisine draws directly from the products grown at km 0.Thus you will discover the innumerable facets of Tenuta Torciano: cellar, restaurant, and vegetable garden, learning to appreciate this all-round ecosystem.
Lunch in the cellar with 0 km products
Our farmers will advise you on the best vegetables to choose for your lunch, which you can enjoy directly on the restaurant table immediately after visiting the garden.

We have enriched this Hotel with things we love, a selection of products from our cellar, such as wine, oil, balsamic vinegar, fresh vegetables from our vegetable garden and the Vernaccia di San Gimignano.
We invite you to explore the garden, admire the ancient cypresses, the orchard, visit our vineyards, our vegetable garden and visit our cellar to share beautiful experiences with wine.
Torciano Boutique Hotel offers the possibility to stay all year round. There is much more to this retreat in the Hotel del vino, from its rustic design of irregular oak beams and terracotta floors, woven around the landscape of vineyards and oak woods with the scent of local roses and flowers and secular cypresses outside the garden which makes a postcard a perfect rural village.
The rooms are of several categories and each room is enriched with the flavor of family intimacy with vintage furnishings and with genuine breakfast made of homemade cakes and seasonal fruit eaten on the terrace overlooking beautiful panoramas, another reason to visit it.
