Lunch at Fattoria San Donato Winery

While interviewing the owner and assistant wine maker at Fattoria San Donato near San Gimignano in Tuscany we were served a lunch of local cured meats, pecorino cheeses with chestnut honey and farro salad. Fattoria San Donato specializes in Vernaccia but they also make Vin Santo, Merlot and are experimenting with Rosé. The winery's facilities are in a medieval village the family purchased in 1932.

About this time of year, when summer hasn't yet taken hold here in Seattle, I long for Tuscany. Your post brings back all the good feelings... the colors, the lighting, the mood, the wine and the food. I'll live vicariously through your experience. Thanks!

This place looks so beautiful, as if you can only see this in movies. I bet the cheese and wine was divine. Brings back memories of when I visited Italy; thank you!
