A lovely visit to family run vineyard. Everyone really loved what they do and they made sure we all had a great time. Pier was a great guide and really passionate about Frascati.

Really enjoyed the break out of Rome by doing this tour. The setting of the vinyard in Frascati is just superb, with excellent views back over the city of Rome. The tour is fun, informative and informal. Lots of snacks, cheese, wine and sweet wine(which was amazing). The meal at the end was really good and plenty of food and wine for all. We would recommend doing this tour. Great value for money.

KELLY_E

Jo and Alfredo were amazing hosts! Made you feel right at home. Intimate experience with lots of historical facts and history. Oh and the wine! And the food! Cannot recommend enough! A must do in Rome.

This was a really enjoyable experience. It was great to get out of the city to the beautiful village of Frascati. Paola, our guide, showed us around the town and pointed out interesting features. We stopped at an Osteria for wine and snacks then we were taken to the nearby winery and olive grove where the family explained the wine process and showed us around. We tasted the white and red varieties which were great. We then enjoyed a lovely lunch with an antipasto plate followed by pasta dish then a wine, almond gelato which was delicious. The wine was also plentiful. We even had a sing along with one of the hosts on the piano. Highly recommended.

Couldn’t recommend this wonderful experience anymore. We had a group of 15 that all loved the day and must say how funny and charming our guide Pier was. The vineyard food was amazing, the wine was fantastic and if you’re interested in a fun day out with food, history and wine then this is for you! 🥰🍷 Thank you so much for hosting us

Our family had a great time on this tour in Frascati. Initially, we missed our 9:54 train from Rome to Frascati. We called the tour guide and he promptly suggested an alternative train to a nearby town, Tor Vergata, and arranged a taxi to pick us up at the train station (with a taxi fee of 20 euro, which is reasonable). This meant that we only missed the beginning of the tour by 20 minutes. The wine tasting on the tour was amazing, and the homemade lunch was fantastic. The family vineyard is truly one-of-a-kind, featuring a cool cave that used to be used for refrigerating the wine. The hosts also entertained the guests with a repertoire of Italian and English songs after lunch. We enjoyed everything so much that my family ended up buying a few bottles of wine, olive oil, and wine jelly to bring back to the U.S. both for ourselves and for our friends. For future travelers who might take the train from Rome to Frascati, here's a word of advice: Platform 20B, which the train commonly uses, is not the same as platform 20. It's actually a five to ten-minute walk along platform 20 towards its far end. A number of other people missed the same train to Frascati, just as we did, by a couple of minutes while trying to locate platform 20B.

The tour really brings you in. Get the sense of small farm life and wine making. Plus understand the history and culture of franscati from those who love it most.

Christine_R

We wanted to visit a vineyard, but not too far from Rome. This place was EXECELLENT! Easy 30 minute train ride from Roma Termini to Frascsti. Nico, Paulinena, Alfredo and chefs were very kind and added a sense of brightness to a gloomy rainy day. Highly recommend. I would add pictures and video, but don’t see any options.
