    OUTSTANDING !

    Our experience at Podere Le Marronaia was outstanding . We visited in early January on a chilly rainy day . We were immediately seated in a lovely room right next to the fireplace . We were there for the olive oil, balsamic , wine tasting and saffron themed lunch . The cost was very reasonable , and we were even given a discount when I booked online weeks ahead . Thank you Rachele and also for your prompt responses to my emails !The entire afternoon was very relaxing thanks to Samuele . His manner was very professional & attentive. This was impressive , since there were at least 2 other couples and also a group of six in the room . Samuele led each of the private tastings & did so in an unhurried manner . He was knowledgeable , unrushed and his explanations were interesting and informative . Our compliments to Chef Patrizia for the incredibly delicious saffron themed lunch ! WOW ! . The servings were more than generous . We enjoyed the balsamic , olive oil and especially the wine tastings .Our favorite was the sparkling wine Piuma della Marronaia We ordered 4 bottles of the Piuma and 2 bottles of the Nottolo . Since 2009 we have visited Italy every year & that includes at least 10 wine tastings & some with lunch. Podere La Marronaia is our favorite , especially because of Samuele ! A huge thank you & compliments to Samuele who was outstanding, ! Samuele gave us an afternoon that we will talk about & remember , especially when we will be enjoying the wonderful wine . Grazie mille !, Peggy & George

    Good service, nice people, great wines.

    Wonderful experience with a nice staff, a family warm welcome and a prompt service. Great organic wines and food we enjoyed in a very nice garden with a beautiful Tuscan scenery. We all had some wines shipped home with a very fast delivery. We Highly recommend a visit.

    Private Wine & Evo oil tasting with Saffron Meal: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for San Gimignano.

    How much does Private Wine & Evo oil tasting with Saffron Meal cost?

    +

    Prices start at $97 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in San Gimignano usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Private Wine & Evo oil tasting with Saffron Meal take?

    +

    Plan for about 1.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in San Gimignano is not rushed.

    Is Private Wine & Evo oil tasting with Saffron Meal worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in San Gimignano, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Private Wine & Evo oil tasting with Saffron Meal?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Private Wine & Evo oil tasting with Saffron Meal suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Private Wine & Evo oil tasting with Saffron Meal?

    +

    Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in San Gimignano can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in San Gimignano and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Private Wine & Evo oil tasting with Saffron Meal start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central San Gimignano within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in San Gimignano?

    +

    On Outty we rank every San Gimignano experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Wine and food tasting in an organic family winery, Tuscan Cooking Class, Tuscany Wine Tour: 2 Wineries & Chianti from San Gimignano. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit San Gimignano?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in San Gimignano?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Private Wine & Evo oil tasting with Saffron Meal?

    +

    Included: Bottled water; Alcoholic beverages; and Lunch. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Private Wine & Evo oil tasting with Saffron Meal?

    +

    By Car: Coming from the A1, exit in Firenze Impruneta and take the road Firenze-Siena; exit in Poggibonsi Nord and follow the signs for San Gimignano (8.6 miles / 14 km about). Arrive in San Gimignano. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Private Wine & Evo oil tasting with Saffron Meal offered in?

    +

    It is offered in English and Italian. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    +

    Is Private Wine & Evo oil tasting with Saffron Meal wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +
