LaMarronaia Pasta Making Class
What a wonderful afternoon making pasta and then enjoying with your new friends you met in class! Leonardo was a wonderful chef who was excellent at teaching us the finer techniques of making pasta. The wine, balsamic and olive oil is great!

Wondeful Memories Made At Podere La Marronaia!
The staff was welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable. (They took the gluten-free needs of one of our guests seriously and happily accomodated.) The setting was classically Tuscan, with a perfect view of San Gimignano, and the food and wine was delicious. We had a wonderful experience!

A Perfect 10!
5/5 stars for the Family Tuscan Cooking Class! This was by far our favorite day spent in Italy, and I wish we could have stayed longer. This family-owned and run organic farm produced amazing wines and olive oil. We visited in late November/early December during olive oil harvesting season and had a tasting of their variety of fresh flavored olive oils! The cooking class was well-organized, and Giulia and Patricia made our class such a fun experience. We were offered sparkling water and espresso upon arrival, sparkling wine to taste while we made Tuscan bruschetta. and enjoyed our freshly cooked meal with a variety of their family-grown wines! Thank you! We will be recommending this place to our friends and family, and we hope to be back!
