What to expect from your private chef experience
Your private chef experience in San Gimignano begins well before the first course is served. Picture this: rustic farmhouses surrounded by olive groves and vineyards, elegant country estates with cypress-lined driveways, castle courtyards under the stars, and a private chef dedicated entirely to your group. Your experience near San Gimignano unfolds over 3-4 hours. The chef arrives early to set up, and you're free to watch, ask questions, or simply relax. A typical menu might include peposo dell'Impruneta to start, followed by ribollita as a main course, with bistecca alla fiorentina to finish. Local wines — perhaps a glass of Vino Nobile di Montepulciano or Brunello di Montalcino — complement each course. The entire service is included: grocery shopping, cooking, table setting, serving, and cleaning. You enjoy; we handle the rest. Guests in San Gimignano consistently tell us this was the highlight of their entire Italian holiday. In San Gimignano, we often arrange the table outside so you can dine under the stars — ask your chef about the best setup for your accommodation.
