The perfect ending to our 10 day trip to Tuscany! Adriano was very informative! Loved the view and the tastings were amazing! Absolutely worth booking! Meal was great and wine even better!

Amazing experience! The wine was delicious and there was a TON of food. Come hungry! The service was amazing and the views truly can't be beat. Great value. 10/10 recommend.

While they did move the time of our wine tasting up an hour at the last minute, they did make arrangements for transportation for us and we had a wonderful time.

A wine tasting and lunch in the most amazing location with beautiful views. Within walking distance of San Gimignano. All the wines and foods explained to us. You can have a wander to see the vines but this experience does not involve an explanation of the process of producing wine or a look at where the wine is produced. However would still highly recommend it. It’s a very romantic and stunning location for lunch. All staff very friendly and helpful.

Visiting Italy and went there as part of a tour for wine tasting and lunch. The food, wine and the view was amazing. Best gnocchi I’ve ever had.

We loved the whole experience. The wine, food, and especially the views just could not have been better. We could not have been happier.

Our driver from a previous days' excursion suggested we have lunch and do a wine tasting at this winery and we are so glad we did! the views were outstanding, as was the food and wine. We sat through lunch for over 2 hours and enjoyed every minute. They were also able to accommodate my husbands need for gluten free food. Everything was delicious!

Our first trip to Tuscany. This was the highlight of our trip. The wine, olive oil and food were outstanding. The view could not be more beautiful.

Podere la Marronaia is a breathtaking place; the panorama reminds me of a painting in Tuscany. ...a family atmosphere, friendly and helpful staff, loving dogs that keep you company, good wine, and excellent hospitality. What do you need more? A place recommended to everyone. If you're in San Gimignano - It's a place you won't miss definitely.

The place is really nice and beautiful, to enjoy if you are one of the lucky ones to eat in the terrace, that's it. Service was really slow, they were really lost and not organize. Wines were not that good, and don't make me speak about food.... for 40 euros per person I was expecting something better, just crostini, pasta and rise with no taste at all... no meat at all, just in the end some sliced ham, cheese and salamis. They were inform that one of us was pregnant and cannot eat certain things or drink alcohol, even though they serve her food she cannot eat, and chargue her almost the full price.... We also had to remain then about the tour that was included to the vineyards.... Place full and for Tourist, that's it.
