Great Wine Tasting and Lunch - We had a delicious wine tasting and lunch on the patio with a beautiful view of the beautiful town of San Gimignano. The lunch and wines were fantastic with wonderful explanations and they were very accomodating with my husband's gluten and dairy allergies. Wonderful experience

Great wine, great food, but no visit - The wine was excellent. We appreciated that it was from walking distance from San Gimignano. The food was excellent. The scenery was absolutely adorable. However, I would have appreciated a little visit of the facilities, were were brought straight to our table for the tasting

Just enough positive's to offset the shortcomings - First the good: The surroundings are lovely with a very nice view of San Gimignano. The lunch was sufficiently filling to qualify as a lunch and reasonably tasty. The availability of 5 different Olive Oils and 3 Balsamic Reductions made for lots of different combinations with the bread provided. Finally, the white wines were surprisingly good. After the lunch/tasting we took time to walk around San Gimignano which was an enjoyable experience. I'm not sure we would have gotten there if we hadn't bought this Viator activity. The not so good: The experience felt a little "salesy" to me, and the prices seemed a little out of line. We were not enamored with the red wines selected for our tasting. The winery seemed a little understaffed with the "Wine Educator" having to serve several groups. What we came to understand during our week in Umbria/Tuscany was that most of the folks who go to tastings are not from Italy. They are mostly tourists like us from the USA. On that basis, it might benefit wineries like Podere La Maronaia to better understand the customer's preferences.
