- Patricia L0 contributionsA Must Do in Italy!!This was an amazing visit. Wine was the best! The Olive Oil was delicious and flavorful! The knowledge of our wine guide was excellent. The food was amazing and paired so well with each wine. The outside venue and atmosphere was very relaxing. Out of the 9 days in Italy, this was a definite high point of the trip. You have to try it. They have so many different tours. When we make it back, we will have to do a cooking class. Thank you for an amazing day!Written October 22, 2024
- X5355RWmelissas0 contributionsGreat atmosphere with great wineAmazing visit to Maronnaia. The atmosphere was lovely doing a tasting overlooking the vineyards outside at picnic tables. The service was excellent - explaining all the wine, food, offering extra pours of what we liked. The wine was also great and we all shipped wine home. The food was a highlight and we spoke about it the whole trip. It was a quiet atmosphere - highly recommend.Written October 22, 2024
- Culture101372873410 contributionsExcellent tasting experience in San GimignanoThis wine, olive oil and balsamic vinegar tasting experience was excellent! The premises are beautifully set up for tastings and for the optional addition of lunch. All of the staff were very welcoming and helpful and exceptionally well versed in all of the products on offer. The wine is delightful and I was happy to place an order which would be shipped back to my home country for me. The flavoured olive oils were a treat and the balsamic vinegar was the loveliest I have ever tasted. Thank you for a wonderful experience.Written October 22, 2024

- thomashilldebbie0 contributionsEnjoyable ExperienceWe had a lovely lunch and wine pairing at Podere La Marronaia. There were 16 of us on a tour with Wine Lovers Tours.

We had a very enjoyable experience.Written October 18, 2024
- KimRimmer0 contributionsMediocre experienceGreat location. Good food. Okay wine. Our server/host was completely disinterested and distracted. Felt like he couldn’t get us out of there fast enough. Our time slot was 4:00-530 and by 5:00 they were putting things away. And the tour of the vineyard never happenedWritten October 16, 2024

Sara was our guide to the delicious olive oil and wine samples. We tasted 5 EVOO with balsamic vinegar and 4 glasses of wine. She was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. The tasting was accompanied by excellent Tuscan food and bread. The view was breathtaking and she let us enjoy our food and wine at our pace. It was well worth the money, and taking a train to Poggibonsi before the bus came to take us to the winery allowed us time to explore that town too. We bought wine and EVOO and they ship for free to the US. Excellent!

We stopped by this vineyard on a whim, without an appointment and close to closing time. We wanted to buy some wine for shipment to the US, and they were kind enough to accommodate us with a limited, but thorough wine tasting experience. When I return to Italy, I will have the dinner with wine pairing. The EVOO was also sumptuous.

First time in Italy and what a wonderful experience. The family is so accommodating. Our friend was celebrating her 50th Birthday and made her feel special. Learned so much about their process and very much enjoyed their white wine. Purchased wine to be shipped to the US, can not wait to enjoy and relive our experience. Definitely a must to visit.

It was a beautiful location, but we anticipated a little more education and touring of the facilities. Instead we were sat down immediately and explained a little about what we were sampling, and then an order form was placed before us…not very personable, and actually a little stuffy.

My husband and I loved every minute of our tasting experience - sampling delicious wines and olive oils, PLUS a wonderful lunch perfectly paired for the wines and oils we sampled. And all in our own private tasting room with a picture postcard view of idyllic San Gimignano. So romantic! It's a memory we'll never forget - thank you so much Podere la Marronaia! Highly recommend this experience!

We enjoyed a wonderful afternoon tasting wine, olive oil and balsamic vinegar with snacks on the terrace. Our hostess was very knowledgeable and friendly. Everything in the tasting was delicious, the terrace was beautiful and the scenery fantastic. We can’t wait for our wine to arrive at our home.
