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 visited Podere la Marronaia for a private wine tasting experience after a tour through San Gimignano. Vittoria met us, introduced us to the winery and its history, and let us stroll around the vineyard. It was a beautiful setting on a September afternoon, with panoramic views of rolling hills, blue sky, puffy white clouds, grape vines, olive trees, and the village of San Gimignano in the distance. Simply breathtaking! We sat on the patio for a relaxed 2 hours and Vittoria told us about the wines and olive oils that we were tasting, while bringing us a variety of Tuscan appetizers. (It was basically a meal! And all delicious!) Vittoria was kind, funny, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to spend time with! She is a great representative of the winery. Great anniversary memory for us! This was one of those experiences we will never forget. We ordered 12 bottles - and had them shipped home. Needless to say were were so happy to get that delivery after we were back at home and missing Italy.
