Wait... can we say that here?

 Gelato!  In Italy Gelato is a big deal... A really BIG deal!!!  Americans like their ice cream, but Italians LOVE, LOVE , LOVE their Gelato! And once you have really good gelato you'll know why!  Italians have their favorite flavors, their favorite combinations of flavors , their favorite shops, and even their favorite artisanal Gelato makers!   

Gelato isn't just ice cream; it's a revelation! With less cream and air, gelato boasts a denser, much richer texture that melts seductively on your tongue. Its intense flavors shine through, a symphony of fresh ingredients. Savor the artistry of gelato, a masterpiece crafted with passion, where every spoonful is a moment of pure indulgence. Once you've tasted gelato, ice cream will never be the same.

And the KING OF GELATO in Italy is Sergio Dondoli!  His Gelato is consistently voted best Gelato  in the whole world! And you're gonna get the chance to taste it in San Gimignano!   This is his home & home base for Sergio Dondoli!  And if you want to taste his Artisnal Gelato, you'll need to stand in line!  Because everyone wants  Sergio Dondoli's Gelato!  We've met with Sergio... Some of our Guests have even taken his Gelato making class!  He's a Character!  And certainly one of the characters that make San Gimignano so very special!  

We'll have you in San Gimmy for a walking tour with our favorite Adventures to Tuscany Guide Stella Soldani, and we strongly suggest if you have only one Gelato while you're in Tuscany, have it in San Gimignano at Dondolis! You might want to try the Champelo:  pink grapefruit & sparkling Vernaccia Wine (the wine of San Gimignano)...  or  the Cream di Santa Fina; Cream and Saffron di San Gimignano (this rare spice grows profusely in San Gimmy).. For more examples of Sergio's unique flavors:  click here.Your tastebuds will have orgasms! (wait... can we say that here?).  Sergio Dondoli has perfected Gelato and it's truly, truly outstanding!
