Beautiful winery & fun conversation & lunch

Toni_N, Apr 2024

The entire experience was great! Beautiful winery with lots of family history; and the wine is great! Enjoyable time with guide for lunch. Didn’t disappoint!!!

Beautiful and Informative Tour

Tela_G, Mar 2024

This tour was great! We learned so much about the wine making process and why Frascati has such amazing wine! The wine caves and history of them were so interesting! Our guide at the winery was so knowledgeable and kind. She is very experienced and a certified wine taster. Top notch! Town of Frascati is quaint and beautiful. Food was good. Would recommend to anyone looking to escape the hustle and bustle of Roma for a few hours. Oh, last but not least, the wine is molto bene ❤️

Our favorite tour

Lynn_R, Feb 2024

Every part of this tour worked out beautifully. The train turned out to be incrediably easy to take to Frascati. Marco was waiting for us with a name card as soon as we stepped out of the station. The wine tour was amazing....we learned a lot. The tasting rooms couldnt have been more beautiful. Afterward we werent expecting such a lovely walk around the town with a porchetta snack and then a fantastic meal at a family resturant. Our guide grew up in the town and told us so much about this lovely place in Italy. This was one of our favorite tours.

5 stars highly recommend

Shianne_C, Nov 2023

We had a wonderful tour, Paula was very knowledgeable and the wine was supreme! We got to go to a market in town and had a tour of the area with more wine and panchetta, also had lunch at a lovely tavern. Food was phenomenal!!

Response from Host, Nov 2023

Thank you so much! We loved spending the day with you in Frascati 😍 hope to see you again:) Grazie!

10/10 would recommend!

Dominic_A, Nov 2023

One of our favorite days on our trip! The wine tour was perfect, with getting to see the vineyards, cellar with a wine tasting, and a delicious wine tasting afterwards. The vineyard had amazing views and great hospitality. Afterwards the tour of Frascati was amazing learning some of the history of the town along with two delicious food stops. The bakery and porchetta were amazing and the stop for lunch was delicious. Daniella was a wonderful tour guide and so full of happiness!

Response from Host, Nov 2023

Thank you so much for your precious review! We loved meeting you here in Frascati ❤️

Excellent Tour Great Wine and Food

Al_D, Oct 2023

The entire tour was excellent. Paola's were perfect and knowledgeable. They brought the wine and the City to life. Funny, kept it moving and answered all questions. Felt like the farm was visiting a friend including Bear the dog greeting us. The food was plentiful and the vino was amazing and also plentiful. Highly recommend this tour!

Response from Host, Nov 2023

Thank you so much for taking the time to share about your experience here! We loved meeting you in Frascati ❤️ hope to see you again one day soon. Baci!

Wine Not!

Christine_F, Oct 2023

The Frascati half-day wine tour was both tasty and informative. We learned about the government’s role in grape growing and wine making. We tasted 3 wines and the host offered a couple food pairings. Then we were off to the city center for a walking tour and lunch (and more wine!) yummy we did have to spend extra time in Frascati because lunch ran over and we missed the 2pm train (next wasn’t for a couple more hours). Also, they were child friendly.

Response from Host, Nov 2023

Thank you so much for your review! Baci!

Great tour!

noonietwo, Oct 2023

The winery tour and the tour of Frascati were very well organized and enjoyable. Would certainly do again!

Lots of food/fun!

JP_B, Sep 2023

We had a wonderful day. The wine tour was interesting and tasty and the city tour was fantastic. When we had enough food came another plate of pasta. We were pretty full on the way back!

Lovely day!

Cathryn_O, Jun 2023

Paula was a lovely guide. Wine was fantastic. We especially appreciated being able to tour not only the outdoor vineyard but also the fermentation area within the mountain. Lots of great pictures!

What a fantastic day out in Frascati!

Maxim_L, May 2023

A really great experience. Very well taken care of during the tour. The wine yard tour is very interesting and the end meal is delicious. I really recommend!!!

MUST SEE! You won’t regret it.

Wilson_T, May 2023

Best tour hands down!!! The tour guide Maximilian was amazing and funny. The wine and the wine expert/guide were really great as well. You also have some nice views and picture spots while at the winery.

Great experience

Lisa_T, May 2023

It was a very interesting tour that taught a lot about the grapes and the land. It was a holiday when we took the tour but a part of the winery owners family gave the tour. She was great! After the tour (with no pressure to purchase anything) our tour guide brought us through the small town explaining things along the way and we ended with a delicious lunch and bottles of wine from the winery.

Delightful Escape From Rome

Thomas_M, Jul 2022

The vineyard and winery portion was perfect for a hot July day, mostly in a cellar or outside in the shade with a breeze. The tour of the town and lunch (included in the price) was informative and amusing - the guide could be a standup comedian.

Unhappy

Olaf_F, Nov 2021

The winery was interesting. The lunch was a total scam. Skip it! Buying via Viator added 20 E to the price.

Response from Host, Nov 2021

Ciao Olaf, I'm so sorry you didn't enjoy our experience. You are correct that Viator adds 20%... maybe next time you can contact us directly for the best price online. Grazie!
