This experience was something not to be missed. Frascati is a charming quiet town right outside of Rome. The vineyard tour and tasting was educational as well as delicious! Paola knows everything there is to know about the region and the grapes. We had a delightful lunch afterwards in the town. Everyone was so friendly. It was a great ending to a perfect day away from the busyness of Rome. The tour was organized perfectly. Our guide in the town was wonderful. Thank you!
Thank you for your lovely review! We're thrilled you enjoyed Frascati, the winery experience, and the warm local atmosphere—it's wonderful to hear that Paola and the team helped make your day such a memorable escape from Rome
Wonderful experience, so well catered and attentive. Shared such great details about the process of making wine. The local pride in Italian roots reflects in the quality of the product as well.
Thank you for your lovely review! We're delighted you enjoyed the experience, the insights into winemaking, and the passion and local traditions that make Italian wine so special!
One of my favorite tours during our stay in Rome. Worth every penny of it. Short train ride, beautiful winery with great scenery & amazing wine , short walk through the center of Frascati, and ending it with a delicious lunch in of the charming restaurant in the city.. let’s not forget the very pleasant & knowledgeable tour guides.
Thank you for your fantastic review! We’re so happy the Frascati experience was one of the highlights of your stay in Rome
It was a great trip Paola at the vineyard was knowledgeable and fascinating to listen too. The wine tasting was lovely and then a quick trip into the town and lunch perfect. Thanks to both Paola’s for a wonderful day.
Thank you so much!
Loved this experience and the city of Frascati! My mother loves wine, she enjoyed as well! I’m not a fan of cheese but the cheese was the perfect match with the wine!

We enjoyed touring the vineyard and tunnels where they stored the wine. After the tour we explored Frascati and enjoyed a lovely lunch and chat with the other couples on the tour.
Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re very happy to hear you enjoyed both the winery experience and your time exploring Frascati. Sharing good wine, food and conversation is exactly what makes this experience so special!
The experience was really neat. We went on a mini trip thru the vineyard and learned a little bit about the grapes. Then we went into the tunnels where they keep the wine. They taught us a little about judging wine. They had us try multiple samples at various locations, then took us back to town where we had lunch. It was fun getting to chat with the other couples on the tour.
Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the vineyard visit, the wine tasting, and the time spent with the group—sounds like a truly memorable day. We hope to welcome you again soon!
The experience was all great and a highlight of our stay in the Roman area. We appreciated it very much. Paola and Daniela did a great job at showing us the winery around, leading us through the tasting and visiting Frascati. We ate very well. And the tour was perfectly paced and overall surpassed our expectations.
Thank you so much, Florian—we’re really happy to hear this! 😊 Hope to see you again in Rome!
