We had an amazing time at this family-owned winery in the Frascati region just outside of Rome. Stefano, our driver, was fantastic and made the whole trip easy and enjoyable. Valentina, our host and sommelier, was awesome-super knowledgeable, friendly, and made the tasting a lot of fun. The winery is beautiful, the wines were incredible, and the whole experience felt very personal. Definitely book the early time slot if you can—we had the place to ourselves, which made it even better. If you're looking for a great day in the Italian countryside, this is a must-do!
This was a nice break from the city for our group of friends. The taxi driver communicated well, picked us up on time, and pointed out sites of interest along the way. On arrival at the vineyard, we were given a brief explanation of the maker's history and processes. Then we headed inside for the tasting, which consisted of three wines (white, rosé, red) paired with bread and their olive oil, cheese and jellies. Afterward, we purchased a full bottle and walked around the grounds a bit to enjoy the views and breeze. Overall, a great experience that all of our group enjoyed and would recommend.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review, Allison! We’re delighted to hear that you and your friends enjoyed this relaxing escape from the city. It’s great to know that your driver made the journey enjoyable with punctual service, clear communication, and interesting insights along the way. We’re also pleased that you enjoyed the wine tasting, local food pairings, and the opportunity to explore the vineyard grounds and take in the beautiful countryside views. Purchasing a bottle to take home is always a great way to remember the experience! Thank you for your recommendation, Allison. We hope to welcome you and your friends back for another memorable experience in Italy soon.
It was a beautiful afternoon away from the bustling city. The property was beautiful. I agree with other reviews that more time exploring the vineyards would have been lovely but we so enjoyed our time. We also bought a case of wine - strongly considered buying a row!
Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed a peaceful afternoon away from the busy city and that you loved the beauty of the estate. Your comment about spending more time exploring the vineyards is greatly appreciated and very helpful for us. We’re especially happy to hear you enjoyed the wines so much — buying a case is the highest compliment, and purchasing a whole row would truly make you part of the family! Thank you again for sharing your experience, and we hope to welcome you back for another relaxing countryside escape soon!
Felt super rushed - the winery estate was beautiful but it had other events and felt like we paid to go buy wine. $450 for 2.5 hours plus wine purchase was far too expensive. Driver was excellent , sommelier was excellent but it wasn’t enough to justify the pricing . Would recommend but should be maybe €90 max pp including driver
Thank you for your honest feedback. We’re happy to hear you enjoyed the beautiful winery estate and that both the private driver and sommelier provided excellent service. We would like to clarify that this experience is a fully private tour, including a dedicated private driver at your disposal throughout the journey, personalized transportation, and an exclusive wine tasting experience hosted by a local family winery. These private services are a significant part of the overall cost and are designed to offer comfort, flexibility, and a more intimate experience away from larger group tours. We truly appreciate your comments regarding the pacing and value perception, as they help us continue improving the experience for future guests. Thank you again for joining us, and we hope to welcome you back to Italy in the future!
