Don't listen to the detractors - one.of the better wine and food tasting experiences in the area - We are red wine lovers who have both been on many food and wine tours in a few countries, and we generally find there is a theme that some tours are intended to do one of 2 things: push products the operators/collaborators want to sell, or get us very full and drunk to collect good reviews. (This is generally done, to be fair, with a generous helping of education on the local culture.) Accordingly, some of the reviews we read on this tour mentioned not getting enough food or wine, or complained about the vineyard wanting to give too long an explanation of the cultivation process. We assume that these reviews are from travelers who expected this to be a tour intended to pump them full of food and get them drunk and ship them back to their start. Contrary to many of the other reviews, we found this tour exactly what it's described as, an education of the local wine and making. We found the vineyard enchanting and the owner operator fun and charming and knowledgeable. We loved all stops, left extremely full and consumed far beyond sufficient quantities of wine. We loved taking the train to and from the town of Frascati as part of the experience. What we loved most about this tour was that the goal was truly to educate you on the wine of the region and introduce you to Frascati and allow you to explore this quiet and picturesque city away from the hustle and bustle of Roma. We also loved that there were a huge diversity of nationalities on the tour. What we didn't love is we are red wine drinkers and we drank all but 1 glass of white - because this is a white wine region - not the tour operator fault! - we like trying new things! If your goal is to get pass-out drunk or puke-up full, then this is not the tour for you. But if you enjoy culture and the process behind your food and drink combined with cool people and great food and sufficient quantities of wine, especially with a less commercial feel, this is for you. Book it. You won't be sorry!!

Fabulous Frascati Visit - Our tour of the Frascati Vineyard was fantastic, informative about the history of the vineyard , the region and winemaking process. The village of Frascati was totally picturesque and unspoiled. Our guide lived in the town and shared her personal local experiences with food and wine. The vineyard snacks and the complete lunch in town were excellent examples of the local cuisine.

Not Quite What We Expected - The tour began when we easily took the train from Rome. Upon arrival we were greeted by the tour guide along with the other 28 people on the tour. First shock, since we expected a small group tour of 10. We were split up into vans for the ride to the vineyard where we were met by a member of the family who talked to us while waiting for the others to arrive. Again, we did not expect to be part of a group of 30 and this really diminished our experience. We were taken into the wine cave and given some lovely Frascati wine to sample. The guide here was excellent, but the group size posed a problem. We then went outside to taste more wine and have cheese and bread. More information was shared, but the group size made it difficult to hear. We were then sent to the town in our vans where we were split into two groups of 15 for a tour of the town. Our guide was very knowledgeable and shared a lot of good information. We stopped for a small bite pork sandwich then went to lunch. This was a disappointment, as it was not a pasta lunch as advertised. It was more of a charcuterie board appetizer. Not sure if the other group got the pasta lunch. We were disappointed in the size of the group, as the information available to us stated a small group of no more than 10 people and we were much larger than that.

Informative but not as relaxing as I thought - The winery is beautiful and family owned and run. The guide spoke a lot and gave us great details but the stand is too long for my taste. We stood as she talked for at least 2 hours , walking around the vineyard then in the cave. I enjoyed the expierence but wish we were offered water when we got there and did not have to stand for so long. The wine was delicious , just wish it were more options for the tasting part . The tour guide that took us around the town of Friscati was funny and made the tour enjoyable .

Underwhelming experience - I felt the tour was quite overpriced for what it was. We weren’t offered much wine. 3 glasses at the vineyard itself with one of the glasses being of the higher quality wine. Lunch was included but we didn’t enjoy this so didn’t eat it. The guides themselves were very lovely and shared lots of knowledge with us. However, I wouldn’t book again as for the price I really didn’t feel it was worth it.

The wine guide talked too... - The wine guide talked too long. Only tasted 3 wines. Talked too much. City guide was not the best. Guide got mad at someone on the tour because the kitchen messed up the order and it was very uncomfortable.
