San Miniato: The countryside around San Miniato

James Martin
The countryside around San Miniato, found in the Pisa Province of Tuscany, is spectacular, especially as the sun sets.

This territory produces 25% of Italy's celebrated white truffle production so it's logical that each November on the second, third and fourth weekends--in the heart of the regulated truffle gathering season--a truffle fair is held in the high town. San Miniato comes alive, with displays, theater performances, fine dining in homes, palazzi, and restaurants, and even marching bands. It's a great time to visit the medieval gem of a town, San Miniato.

So, come along with us as we explore the Tuscan village of San Miniato during its annual truffle fair.
