THE THIRSTY PILGRIMS EXPERIENCE

They came for shelter. You came for the wine.

A journey through wine, history, and the flavors of Tuscany.

Step back in time and discover the magic of San Donato in Poggio with Chef Tommaso Iorio, founder of Il Cellario.

Your experience begins with a glass of Italian sparkling wine as Tommaso takes you on a stroll through the medieval village, sharing its fascinating history, hidden corners, and stories of the past.

Your journey continues inside Il Cellario’s 12th-century underground wine cellar, literally the very place where pilgrims once rested overnight on their journey to Rome and beyond.

Surrounded by ancient stone walls and the warm glow of candlelight, you’ll enjoy an exclusive guided wine tasting featuring:

• 🥂 1 Italian sparkling wine to begin your journey.

• 🥂 1 selected Tuscan white wine.

• 🌸 1 refreshing rosé.

• 🍷 3 exceptional Tuscan red wines.

• 🍯 1 traditional Vin Santo, paired with homemade cantucci.

A total of 7 wines to discover!

Throughout the evening, indulge in a selection of Il Cellario’s signature gourmet schiacciate and our famous Il Banchetto sharing board, featuring a carefully curated assortment of local cured meats, artisanal cheeses, and traditional Tuscan specialties.

More than just a wine tasting, this is an intimate journey through centuries of Tuscan history, authentic flavors, and the stories that make San Donato in Poggio so special.

Come thirsty. Leave with a story worth telling.
