Wow! You must do this. You learn how to cook pasta and bruschetta. And it's down in the valley looking at San Gimignano. You cook with the best chef, leonardo, who is so patient with novices. You make the dinner that you eat. And you get the taste wine. While enjoying Exquisite fabulous Tuscan views. Can you tell that I fell in love with this! Okay
We had an outstanding time at Podere la Marronaia! The pasta cooking class was wonderful, the host and cook/teacher were superb, and the setting was gorgeous, with an incredible view of San Gimignano. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting the area!
Thank you so much for your kind word, we are very happy that you have enjoyed your experience here! Let's hope to see you again here. Marronaia Family
We traveled to Italy with our family, 8 adults, and were looking for a great experience in San Gimignano. With such a large group we were worried about being able to all experiencing a cooking class together. The owner was quick to get us accommodated for class. We arrived and were taken to an upstairs farmhouse kitchen where the chef was waiting for us. From the moment of arrival, we felt at home and in awe of the magical views out of the kitchen window while we learned to make homemade pasta and sauce. The experience was so amazing! We made all three dishes and began to eat while sampling the wine and olive oil they make. Just a great experience. Left with amazing memories, great recipes and a case of wine being delivered home. Strongly recommend this experience. If you can’t make it to the pasta class, just visit them for their great wine, olive oil and incredible hospitality. Oh they have great dogs around the property to that demand attention too. Highlight of our trip.
