We loved truffle hunting with our great guide and his two dogs: Lili (6 years) and Lena (5 months in apprenticeship). “We” found 8 truffles!! It was an exceptional experience! Then we had the meal in the restaurant, were able to taste olive oil which is very good and balsamic vinegars. My disappointment is with the meal, good but not striking. Wines, for my taste: good thirsty wines.
Great winery with wonderful people. The truffle adventure is a wonderful experience as well as the cooking class afterward. We have also ordered their fine products online and had them delivered to our home. We must say every time we order the delivery went seamlessly.
Such a wonderful experience to go on a truffle hunt and learn all about, where they are food, how they grow, and how the dogs are trained. Then to come back to such a beautiful winery/farm and have a great cooking experience making lunch and sampling the wonderful flavors of Tuscan cooking.
The entire cooking class experience was outstanding! Our host David escorted us to the upstairs cooking kitchen, where Chef Patrizia awaited us. We were told that we would prepare 4 dishes, which then would be cooked, if necessary, by Chef Patrizia; then we would be served each dish accompanied by appropriate wine pairings. When we first arrived, David gave us an overview of Podere La Marronaia and a tour of the property, before taking us to the cooking class. The fact that truffles were incorporated into each dish enhanced the excitement and, ultimately, the wonderful tastes of each dish. The making of the dishes was fun as we were expertly guided by the chef and David and our creations actually looked good and eventually tasted even better!!!! We cannot overstate the quality of Podere La Marronaia.....it's people, it's programs and the wines and food. If you are in the San Gimignano area, please do not miss the chance to participate in one of their program offerings!!!! Grazie mille!!!!
Thank you so much for your amazing words, we are very happy that people enjoy our cooking class experience. We put a lot of effort into our work so we are extremely happy to have people like you with us, enthusiastic and kind people who are willing to learn. Thank you again and let's hope to have you here again! Marronaia family
