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 ❤️

Visiting the 16th century artisanal winery in Frascati was a truly wonderful experience! An amazing day right from the start.When we arrived at the winery, an exuberant Paola greeted us with open arms and made us feel extremely welcomed. She was well detailed in explaining the origins/history of the winery and included many personal, family stories. The setting was wonderful and was very relaxing. Exploring the cave was fascinating and we tasted the first out of three delicious wines there. After the cave, we were escorted to an outdoor setting among the olive trees where we tasted two more wines. Cheeses, breads, and wine cookies were served as well. After the vineyard tour, we then went into the charming town of Frascati where we walked with our guide, Joanna, who had a bubbly personality. She showed us the local sites with a great wealth of knowledge. We were eventually escorted to a quaint restaurant, Osteria Dell'Olmo, where the food, wine, and comradery with the other guests and owner (wish I recalled his name!) was outstanding. Our driver, Marco, was prompt and was a safe driver. Lastly don't want to forget the family dog, Orzo I believe was his name, who was as friendly as can be. This was definitely a favorite, personalized experience while visiting Rome. Everything was top notch!

This was a fantastic experience, a highlight of our trip to Rome. It was extremely well organized, and each part was thoroughly enjoyable. The winery visit with Paola was fantastic- she was a passionate, knowledgeable and kind host, providing a great introduction to local Roman wine and wine making history. The vineyard is in a spectacular setting. Following our time with her, we were transported to the village for a tour with Giovanna who was also a lovely, friendly and fun host. She obviously loves her town and it’s understandable why. She showed us around and then took us to a local restaurant for a great lunch where the chef/owner joined us in conversation for a bit. Really, the whole experience was first rate and we highly recommend it!

What an excellent way to spend a few hours. We were picked up at Frascati Station and whisked to the vineyard where our very knowledgeable and interesting guide, Paola gave us an outdoor tour revolving around vines and the olive trees. Next it was into the caves of the old volcano where we tried some of the family white wine. Absolutely delicious - and this from a red wine drinker. There then followed another couple of wines with nibbles before going back to Frascati for a tour of the town and a visit to a bakery and a restaurant for a lovely group lunch and more wine. Everyone involved is very friendly and passionate about what they do. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

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.

Administration & logistics was excellent. Train tickets provided and met at station by private minibus. Visit to vineyard and cave on property extremely good. A well given instructional tour of Fascati wine and olive oil. Lunch was provided in town cafe and was excellent also. Tour of the town by our guide was at a nice slow pace and very informative as she was a local and knew her town. An enjoyable well priced tour.

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!

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!

Amazing experience! Easy train to Frascati and were met right by the station and taken to a local family owned vineyard. We learned so much about the process of winemaking and historical information as well. We were unable to fit in time in the Tuscan region and wanted an Italian wine experience while based out of Rome and this met all our expectations. Walking through the vineyards with the picturesque view of Rome below was a highlight of this tour. The tour of Frascati and local lunch was great as well- perfect way to spend a day!
