Experience Description
The wine & Evo oil tasting with saffron meal starts with a short explanation of our farm’s history at your table in front of our Vernaccia vineyard, one of the oldest in San Gimignano.
The Saffron meal is composed of 4 courses: a starter with bruschetta and crostini with saffron, saffron organic pasta and vegetables, local cheeses, and cold cuts from Casa Porciatti or egg with saffron, and, finally, our homemade cake.
This option also includes a choice of at least four organic and biodynamic wines from Podere La Marronaia, such as Vernaccia di San Gimignano and Chianti Colli Senesi, and 6 kinds of extra virgin olive oils, natural and flavored.

WE DO NOT OFFER PICK-UP AND DROP OFF SERVICE. Transportation to and from your location is up to you.
As our company is biodynamic and organic, we DO NOT SERVE commercial drinks like Pepsi, Coca-Cola, Fanta, or similar. Instead, we ONLY SERVE our natural wines and water because flavors that are too sweet or strong would ruin the tasting.
Already in the Middle Ages, San Gimignano was famous for producing saffron, a precious ingredient like gold dust that has made the fortune of the town. Even today, saffron is grown in the area, and it’s the protagonist of the local gastronomy. The tasting will accompany guests to discover the flavors and refined aromas of this particular spice immersed in the authentic Tuscan atmosphere, right on top of our Vernaccia vineyard with a breathtaking view on the Medieval towers of San Gimignano.
Only 45 minutes from Florence and 35 minutes from Siena, Podere La Marronaia is ideally located for those planning wine tasting near Florence or a stop during a day trip to San Gimignano wine tours. Easily reachable by car, our estate is the perfect escape into the Tuscan countryside.
