    Awesome experience
    Such a great experience and so much fun! We had David as our guide and he did an amazing job explaining everything and putting up with all of our questions. The mountain dog, Suleiman, was also a big plus of this tour. He came along the whole time and was so cute. I can’t recommend this place more and would definitely come back if I travel to Italy again.

    Fabulous wine tour.
    Hard to pick a favourite part of the wine tasting. David gave a fabulous tour through his knowledge and enthusiasm regarding the wine and vineyard surroundings. The wine was paired with amazing food from start to finish. I highly recommend you take the time to visit here. Be prepared to walk the property as he shows us everything from the cellars to the vineyards.

    Amazing wine tasting in beautiful area with a great guide
    What a fantastic wine tasting experience we had at this place. David showed us around the winery and told us very interesting information about the wines, olive trees and their way of wine making. After the tour we went for the actual tasting and we had amazing wines in good company. It was accompanied by nice anti pasta, cheeses, bread and the very nice olive oil. We had a great afternoon and would like to recommend Fattoria il Piano!

    A MUST during a stay around San Gimignano
    Cannot recomend highly enough the 2 hours spent with David and other guests in the farm's tasting conservatory with San Gimignano as the spectacular backdrop. David our host clearly loves his subject and being so knowledgeable about wine and local life both educated and charmingly entertained us as we enjoyed a walk around a traditional vineyard and 5 wines to taste along with bread and the farm's olive oil. Best part of our 2 weeks in Tuscany and being able to stay a few nights on the farm/vineyard an added bonus. Thanks so much David from Patrick

    Amazing winery experience!
    Our group of 4 rented a car from Florence and drove to Il Piano for our 11:00 wine tour/tasting. David was so interesting and knowledgeable as he showed us around and explained the wine making process and the property's history. Then we had a wonderful spread for lunch with 5 different samples of delicious wines. The views of San Gimignano are gorgeous! I would highly recommend!

    Great experience in Tuscany learning about and sampling wine and food - highly recommend!
    One of our favorite all-around experiences in Tuscany. The host was friendly, knowledgeable and led an all-around great experience. We got to see the property and sample wine along the way, followed by gorgeous views of the countryside and an excellent and filling meal of meats, cheeses, salads and of course great wine! Would highly recommend. Shout out to the best @Tuscanwinedog in Italy, who was a key part of the experience

    10/10 - this place is great!
    Visit this place! David was an incredible and knowledgeable host. The steep drive up means (probably) no tour busses, so the vineyard is quiet and the experience genuine. The food served with the wine tasting was phenomenal, and with 6 full glasses of wine this experience was a ton of value for the price. It is by far the best vineyard experience our group of travelers have had.
    Drive does mean no tour buses so we are more discrete!!

    Great experience!
    We visited for a tour and tasting with our 2 children. David was a fabulous tour guide, not only did we learn about their wines and production of them but about Italy and the area San Gimignano itself. We were able to try many wines during the tasting as well as local food products. It is in a beautiful quiet setting with amazing views of the area. Would highly recommend!

    Lovely wine tasting
    Fantastic wine tasting! Really relaxed, friendly and rustic atmosphere. David gave us lots of interesting information about the wines, the industry, Tuscany as a whole. Great setting, sat down with the group, tastings wines and local produce - delicious food too!! Would definitely recommend! If you cycle there, make sure to get e-bikes, and David let us know only the back brake on the way down - it’s a steep hill!

Fantastic location for vacation and wine tasting!! Also in 2019 I stayed here in this beautiful place and took part in the wine tasting. I absolutely recommend to do this, because of the stunning views to the hill of San Gimignano, the well organised tasting with delicious wines and last but not least David, who explained everything with passion and experience. Just perfect!
This year I returned to Fattoria Il Piano, but wasn't able to do the wine tasting due to appointments (what a pity!!).

Definitely will come back ;-)

We visited this winery on the last day of our Tuscany trip and it immediately became one of the highlights of the entire trip. Arranging an appointment was straightforward and easy. When we arrived at the top of the winery after a somewhat adventurous road, we had a wonderful view of a dreamlike Tuscan landscape and the wonderful San Gimignano, as well as the typical Tuscan buildings of the winery. We were in a bit of a hurry when we got upstairs, but if you first breathe in the wonderfully calm atmosphere of this idyll, you come to rest immediately, but at the latest when you get to know David with his calm, level-headed and serene manner.
After some small talk, the tour started. First about the history of the winery on the grapevines, about the production in the warehouses and about the wine itself in the wine cellar. David's knowledge does not begin and end with wine, he has a great general knowledge, which enables him to consider many aspects of wine production and sales from different perspectives and contexts and what makes the tour all the more informative for visitors.
After this very informative tour in an intimate circle, we went back to the table where, in addition to some bread with olive oil and nice conversations, the wine tasting took place. David takes his time and goes into every single wine and he and Salomon are great company. I would just like to say this much about the wines: our wallets are now lighter and our cellars are full.
In the end, David again showed us his hospitality and we were allowed to enjoy the food we had brought with us on his dreamlike terrace, together with a couple of open bottles of wine and an incredible view of San Gimignano and the surrounding landscape.

In conclusion, I would like to warmly recommend a visit to this winery to anyone who can plan a stay in Tuscany.

We had a wonderful tasting experience as we have seen the vineyards and the cellars before tasting some beautiful wines! The il Piano tasting is known for The Tuscan Wine dog, who is a lovely dog that will make your stay more enjoyable. The Tour guide had a lot of knowledge and passion and was a joy to listen to and share experiences with. Be aware: you might end up buying a bit more than you would think on beforehand, so leave enough space in the car! We also tried other wine tastings in the area, but this one was the most enjoyable!

A wonderful showcase of Tuscan wines, lead by David

The stand out for me was their latest addition "Passo del Prette" a smoothe and inviting red wine, one that could surely become you're new staple. Whilst their "Renzano" boasts a full bodied, earthy palate with a lively finish that will have you refilling your glass.

If white is more to your taste, then look no further than their crisp and zesty "Vernaccia" a bold enhancement to any lunch.

Their final enticement "Vin Santo" a richly sweet digestivo to round out a sensational tasting, put this at the top of your list for visiting Tuscany.

Lovely experience. Unusual and beautiful vineyard, well-pitched tour with just the right amount of information and a perfectly-paced lunch matched with delicious wines. The dog was a treasure and kept our daughter busy! Would strongly recommend.

We wanted a personalised wine tasting experience and this delivered and some….educational, enjoyable and informative. The wines they produce are delicious crowd pleaser’s and what’s better you won’t find them in the shops or restaurants as they only sell direct to the end user so it’s like being part of a great secret. We came away with a small selection that we can fit in our suitcase with the firm intention of getting more shipped when we return home. Thank you for a wonderful lunch.

We made a stop by here while on a 'casual' bike tour through the area. After the cyprus lined hill climb, the wine stop was more than welcome! The place seemed closed but we saw the frame with phone numbers left out by the entrance, and David opened up the doors are treated us to a really lovely flight of three wines and their olive oil. With the breath taking view over the vineyards to San Gimignano and great conversation about all things wines and history with David -who himself seems as interesting and complex as the wines of Fattoria il Piano- this was an incredibly pleasant afternoon and a highlight of our too-brief stay in beautiful Tuscany.
We biked away with a bottle of their Baciolo, which was by far our favorite and the best Merlot I've ever had. Looking forward to placing an order of olive oil and wines to stock up my apartment! Thank you!
