Always a wonderful homecoming!

5.00We have known the family for 12 years and have seen everything come into being. So when we visit every year it is always a warm greeting and exchange of how everyone is doing. Silvia, Luigi, Pietro and Corrado and also Vittoria and everyone else have built something wonderful. We are always treated to a delicious tasting of their wines of which we always have some in the Netherlands at home. This year we had another fantastic lunch. Adriano has helped us exquisitely by not only explaining the wine, but also in addition to the olive oil varieties new aceto-balsamic creations. The wine tasted good, the food with the cheese, the prosciuto and the pasta was delicious, with another dessert and an espresso. All this in the garden, under the umbrella on a sun-drenched day, overlooking the old San Gimignano over the vineyards. This was exactly a week ago when I wrote this at home. The farewell is always emotional and cordial, by now through his Pietro and Vittoria married yesterday and our order of wine and oil will be delivered tomorrow at home. A top company with lovely hardworking people, I can recommend a wine tasting (especially in the garden!) of La Marronaia to everyone!

Tuscan lunch with tasting

4.00For the price paid it was an experience that I would do again. Given that the place is really nice and attention to detail; a family-run farm that carries on passion and tradition. We booked a tasting with lunch with English guide (all employees speak fluently). 4 glasses of wine, various types of extra virgin olive oil and between different types of balsamic. Mixed platter as an appetizer and encore of Tuscan first courses. Our guide recommended the wines to pair with the dishes, also telling us the story behind each bottle. It would have been nice to know also some more characteristics of the wines, how it is processed, in short, get a little more specific. In general I highly recommend.
Barely average

3.00Nice location, views of San Gimignano. We were 20 minutes late after our train from Florence to San Gimignano was cancelled last minute. The staff wasn't engaging or welcoming. The wine was mediocre and the food tastings bland. Look for something with your time and money
A true Tuscan experience!

5.00What an incredible experience! Nestled amongst the rolling hills of Tuscany overlooking the vineyards and lavender, the location was perfect. Our server (I have forgotten his name, but he was very knowledgeable!) explained each wine to us together with the many olive oils. From the food to the oil to the wine - every bit a delectable experience. Would throughly recommend this place to anyone visiting the San Gimignano area.
Good wine tasting

5.00This place is magical. We made bruschetta and pasta then enjoyed some wine to go with it afterwards with an incredible view of the Tuscan hills. Everyone that worked here was professional, considerate, and attentive. My wife and I had to pinch ourselves because it seemed to be a dream. Can’t say enough great things about this experience, a must go to fully experience the Tuscan beauty.
