What people are saying about Frascati

Totally recommend!! Rosi, our guide, was amazing, very personable and VERY entertaining. Loved hearing the history of the family business and that the wine cellar was a bomb shelter. The wine was terrific and the pasta was amazing. We had TONS of laughs with the other participants. I might recommend making the pasta BEFORE trying the wine, if you know what I mean…

Absolutely amazing! Could not recommend enough and were very accommodating to my allergies (let them know when booking, not when you get there). The cutest dog lives in the vineyard and helped with the tour. We had the most amazing time and learnt so much. So authentic

Marco was awesome. Very informative and knowledgeable guy. Walking through Frascati was amazing. Such a beautiful village. The wine tasting was great and the employees were very personably. Marco even helped us out with recommendations for the rest of our week.

Cosy place and a great guide named Elinor. The wine was young but they have older wines too. 3 different wines white,rose.and red was served with matching small plates with bread cheese and marmelade

Fantastic tour with beautiful wine and great guides
