Divinorum Wine Bar — Restaurant in San Gimignano

It was a sunny Sunday in August and all places were closing for the usual 3-6 daily siesta break. We thought we were going to hit the road back to our hotel hungry. When all hope was lost, walking back to the car, we were passing by this beautifully set wine bar overlooking the most picturesque views.
