EXCELLENT Based on 848 reviews Brenda L2023-11-16Verified Fabulous tasting experience, in a gorgeous setting! 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! Joseph A2023-11-08Verified Second to none. If you ever find yourself within an hour's drive of this location, take the time to drop in and experience one of the most picturesque locations in Italy. This location is just outside of town and has at least two of my favorite wines from Italy. We have since finding this gem, ordered wine shipped to our door. The problem is when friends come to visit, we have to make another order due to the popularity of the products they produce.... But hey, that is what a great bottle of wine will do. See you all in May 2024! Joe, Jen, Chris, Wendy, NSchutta2023-10-30Verified One of my favorite Italy excursions we did Definitely recommend this place for any of their tastings or tastings with lunch. We all enjoyed their selections of wine, olive oils, balsamics, and their food as well. We tasted two regular olive oils, 5 flavored olive oils, 3 balsamic vinegars, and if I remember correctly, 4 red wines and 4 white wines. For food we were served a charcuterie board, 4 different hand held appetizers, a panzanella salad, and gnocchi for the main entree. The staff is great and their views are beautiful. This turned out to be one of my favorite things we did in Italy. Chris F2023-10-17Verified Incredible meal, views and experience! This was a wonderful experience. Great Food, wine, oil, balsamic vinegar, and views! We sat at a private table outside looking over the vineyards and across at the beautiful city and towers of San Gimignano. We had an incredible assortment of truffle-based foods, while sampling an assortment of wines, oils and balsamic vinegars. All amazing. We purchased and shipped home some vino and vinegar, and have re-ordered since. We highly recommend this experience in San Gimignano. Tristin R2023-10-16Verified Very High Quality Family Winery & Farm!! An experience you will never forget!! La Marronaia is hands down the winery to visit! We were having a rough day after being dropped off in Sienna by a driver who didn't speak English, (and being told to meet at a location we couldn't find there)... but... as soon as we got to La Marronaia, all our stress, troubles, worries, aches, and pains went away. They have such a beautiful view of their land and of San Gimignano. We were seated to our own large private round table looking out over the valley of their vineyard. We were greeted by our waiter (I forget his name) who was kind, professional, and very accommodating to us switching out more comfortable chairs for us and getting us different wines when we asked for them as well as more olives (and the name of the olives we ate as well, which were the best I've ever tasted in my entire life by the way. I have always hated olives, but they had the far superior Cerignola giganti olives and good Lord I love olives now. They converted me! Lol.). He explained everything about their organic biodynamic practices, the specialty of their land, soil, and grapes, their awards/certifications/labels, their history, etc. This is a lovely little family operation and they truly want you to have an amazing experience. We really appreciated their soft sell. We went to another winery the next day (who I won't name), but they are a BIG operation. Nothing was personal there. They just bring people in by the bus load and push their sales onto everyone. You're just a number. But at La Marronaia it was very personal. It was very special. They keep it small and intimate. Not only are their products clearly the best (better than anything we'd tried), but all the food they give you to accompany their oil, vinegar, and wines, was the absolute best. It was just such an unforgettable and wonderful experience. It was a hot day, but we were completely in the shade and enjoyed a light breeze. Their wines are spectacular. Not acidic like so many wines are. You could taste the pureness. The quality. You could smell, feel, see, and taste the difference. They were so friendly and we didn't truly understand how special the whole thing was until a few days later when we were reminiscing about it. We actually didn't purchase anything while we were there. It was about a week or so afterward that I realized how truly special, unique, and high quality their products are. I was able to contact them on Whatsapp and they helped me figure out which wines and vinegar were my favorite and I was able to easily purchase them online. Free shipping when you buy 6 items. I highly recommend if you are in the area and want to do a wine tasting, avoid the rest, just go here. I wish I could have done the truffle hunting experience. Maybe next time! Thank you La Marronaia for caring about all your guests having an amazing experience and not stressing about just getting customers to buy your products. Continue to let your products speak for themselves. Keep treating your guests well. Quality above quantity. Experience over sales. Always. Thank you. ~Tristin jnbndr2023-10-08Verified A great day tasting wine The food and wine pairings were delicious and the setting was gorgeous. We were a party of 14 and sat outside under a canopy, we went in the beginning of October so it was warm but not hot so it made the outdoor experience lovely. The service was very good and the explanations of the wines were informative. We loved the wines so much we ordered a case to be shipped home. The reason I gave it a four was because although shipping is free they did charge 20 Euros for “handling” which I didn’t know about until after I paid for the case. I would have ordered it anyway but to me, I think it’s a bit deceiving when you hear “free shipping” but they charge you to pack up their wine and ship it. It was a fun afternoon spent with family in a beautiful setting chip f2023-10-02Verified Wonderful adventure Great winery with wonderful people. The truffle adventure is a wonderful experience as well as the cooking class afterward. We have also ordered their fine products online and had them delivered to our home. We must say every time we order the delivery went seamlessly. John H2023-09-29Verified Wonderful wine tasting experience! Actually went in 2016. On our first trip to Italy in 2016 our tour agent booked a private wine tasting at Podere La Marronaia. We had a most wonderful experience in a large second floor room overlooking the beautiful countryside, hosted by Pietro and Corrado. Such gracious hosts! Certainly, one of the highlights of our trip. I would highly reccomend a visit to Podere La Marronaia. Should we every find ourselves in that area again we most certainly will stop again. Also, just ordered my second case of wines to be shipped to us. Beth P2023-09-26Verified Wonderful Wine Tasting and Meal! This wine tasting was definitely a highlight of our family vacation. We were seated in a private dining room with a beautiful view of the vineyard and San Gimignano. The wines, oils, and balsamics were wonderful and we highly recommend having the meal as well, it was delicious. Sarah and the entire staff were very informative and friendly. We enjoyed everything so much that we are having some wines, oils, and balsamics shipped home!
GOOD Based on 326 reviews Shaun Strohmer2024-11-04 Absolutely the most gorgeous lunch spot I've ever had. Delicious food and lovely wine pairings, with a very helpful and knowledgeable server. We are excited to receive the wines we shipped back to the US. Margaret Ross2024-10-24 Powered LA MARRINAIA. A family story behind a bottle, was an excellent choice for a family excursion to the hills and towers of Chanti Peter Sestito2024-10-19 Beautiful place, excellent wines, balsamic cigars and food samplings! JF Mulligan2024-10-08 Wonderful experience, delicious food, wine and oils. Our favourite activity of our week L Zuccarini2024-10-07 Absolutely Fantastic! We signed up for Truffle Hunt and Lunch.

Marty Shaw2024-10-05 A Tuscan Gem: Unforgettable Experience at Podere La Marronaia Visiting Podere La Marronaia was the highlight of our trip to San Gimignano! Nestled in the picturesque Tuscan countryside, this family-run winery offers an enchanting blend of stunning views, exceptional wines, and warm hospitality. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed like family by our wonderful hostess, Victoria, the daughter-in-law of the owners. Her warmth and knowledge made our visit truly special. The wine tasting experience was nothing short of spectacular. We sampled a variety of organic and biodynamic wines, each one more delightful than the last. Victoria guided us through each tasting, sharing fascinating insights about the winemaking process and the unique characteristics of their wines. The tour of the wine-making fermentation area was incredibly informative. We learned so much about the meticulous process that goes into creating their exceptional wines. The setting is simply breathtaking. Sipping wine while overlooking the rolling hills and medieval towers of San Gimignano is an experience we will cherish forever. We also had the pleasure of tasting their exquisite extra-virgin olive oils, which perfectly complemented the delicious local delicacies served during our visit. Podere La Marronaia is a must-visit for anyone traveling to Tuscany. Whether you’re a wine enthusiast or simply looking for a memorable day in the countryside, this winery offers an experience that is second to none. We can’t wait to return! Veronica Remsbottom2024-09-29 Dreams come true! I dont think I can adequately describe how perfect this experience was. For years, my mom dreamed of coming to Italy with the family. A cooking class, wine tasting, olive oil tasting were all on the dream list. We were finally able to go, but there was only 1 wine class in Tuscany that would allow the (2) toddlers in our group. Thanks to Podere La Marroniaia, we were able to do it. Not only was the cooking experience amazing, but the table set up, wine tasting, olive oil/balsamic tasting was just top tier. We all cried during the experience out of joy. I am forever grateful for my experience. Thank you so much for making it happen.
