If you are in or near San Gimignano, this has to be the vineyard to visit. Our group enjoyed everything - the walk by the trees and vines, the beautiful gardens of flowers and herbs, the amazing views out over the countryside. Fausto is an excellent guide and host. We booked the wine tasting and lunch and it was beyond... More

I don't usually leave reviews but Sovestro in Poggio Winery deserves it. Learning about the quaint, family-operated business was fascinating and our host could not have been better. Fausto was a wealth of information and our tour through his winery was perfect. The tasting was wonderful and was accompanied by a beautiful spread of local meats and cheeses. This was... More

I booked this tour for my fiancé and I in October of 2012 and I can't say enough wonderful things about it. Fausto (owner) guided us through the vines and answered all of our questions. He was humble, informative and, most importantly, warm and welcoming. We then proceeded to experience what was defined as a "light lunch". The lunch (with... More

I visited Sovestro in Poggio Winery during a day trip through Tuscany that was organized by ArtViva. I have to say San Gimignano was my favorite stop of the day and that is because of our lovely visit to the winery. When you first pull up to the winery there are scenic views of the Tuscan hills and you can... More

Our family paid a visit to this idyllic spot at the base of the amazing Tuscan village of San Gimignano. We were treated to a traditional lunch and sampled both the wonderful wines and delicious olive oil, all the while hosted by the owner/ proprietor who explained the history of this property and their approach to making wine. The setting... More

Ten of us stopped by for the winery tour and lunch on March 26. Fausto greeted us and did an excellent job of showing us the winery, explaining the process and walking us through our wine tasting. Lunch was very good and paired with the wines just right. Afterward, our group visited San Gimignano, which is close by. Altogether, the... More

We forgot to plan ahead and a day before going tomthis winery we looked it up here on Trip Advisor and couldn't have had a better experience. However, we were lucky that it was a fairly slow day, so making a reservation is a good idea. We went over for lunch, which was simple, yet very tasteful. The wines are... More

If i could rate it higher i would. The tour of the vineyards and cellar with Fausto was great and he was very patient and answered all of our question. The meal with matching wine was fantastic and i would recommend strongly toanyone staying in Tuscany. The 2008 Chainti is very smooth and we bought a couple of bottles to... More

My partner and I enjoyed a wine tasting at Sovestro as part of a trip from Florence organised by Ciaoflorence, and after visiting Monteriggioni, Siena (where we had lunch) and San Gimignano. By the time we reached Sovestro we had already formed a friendly relationship with others on the tour. In spite of four languages being spoken by the group,... More
