SAFFRON TOUR AT SAN GIMIGNANO

Tuscany tours and experiences

Saffron - the precious flower that was once used as currency and still grows in the foothills of San Gimignano.

Travel through the hills and vineyards to San Gimignano, the town of towers. My friend Roberto will share with you his knowledge of saffron and its secrets and you will learn how it has been made from the crocus flower according to centuries’ old tradition while drinking his famous Vernaccia white wine.

You are then invited to a restaurant where you will enjoy a unique lunch featuring a Saffron Menu from start to finish.
