This was such a great experience. Luca was wonderful! Beautiful location. Our driver was prompt and the winery was great and the food pairings were awesome. Beautiful table setting. We got a whole glass of each wine instead of the usual couple of sips. The only thing that would have been better is if it lasted longer! It was a great way to end our trip to Rome.

Not worth the price paid

Kristina_G, Jun 2026

We paid $600 for 4 people. They wouldn’t let the kids taste the wine and didn’t offer it to the adults since we paid the same price for all 4 of us. There was a quick “walk” to the vines but never a tour of the winery. After we saw the vineyard we were brought to the dining room to taste 3 wines. Paired with bread/oil, then burrata, then cheeses with jelly. Not worth the price paid at all. After a quick tasting we asked for a glass of our favorite and were told the driver was ready. We left unsatisfied.

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are sorry to hear that the experience did not meet your expectations. We would like to clarify a few points for future travelers. In Italy, the legal drinking age is 18, so we are unfortunately not permitted to serve wine to minors. Instead, the children in your group were offered juice together with the same selection of local snacks, ensuring they could also enjoy the tasting experience. This experience is primarily designed as a wine tasting tour for adults, and may not be the ideal choice for families with children. Regarding the itinerary, the experience is delivered exactly as described: a private transfer from Rome, a visit to the historic family-owned vineyard and its grounds, a walk through the vineyard (weather and seasonal conditions permitting), followed by a guided tasting of three local wines paired with carefully selected regional specialties. The total duration is approximately 3 hours, as advertised. We truly appreciate your feedback and wish you all the best for your future travels.

Great wine; close to Rome

Tyler_B, Feb 2026

Overall a nice experience, the hotel pick up is nice, wine and snacks were all very good. That said, for the price, I’d expect more of a tour of the grounds and wine cellar. It was basically a 2 minute, here is where the wine is stored, now hop in your ride home. It could’ve been, like giving one more glass of whichever wine was your favorite to walk the cellar and the grounds a bit before heading out. That would have made it feel more worth the value. Overall, a great experience being so close to Italy but felt there could’ve been more showmanship alongside the amazing wine.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Dear Tyler, Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughtful feedback. We’re very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the wine, the snacks, and the comfort of the hotel pickup. It’s wonderful to know that the overall experience was a positive one. At the same time, we truly appreciate your suggestion regarding a more extended visit of the grounds and wine cellar. The winery experience is designed to focus primarily on a curated tasting led by the host, but we understand how a longer walk through the cellar or additional time exploring the property could enhance the perceived value. Your idea of enjoying an extra glass while walking the grounds is a lovely suggestion, and we will certainly share this feedback with the winery to explore ways to enrich the overall experience. Thank you again for your honest and constructive comments. We’re grateful you chose to experience the Roman countryside with us and hope to welcome you back for another memorable visit.

It was a lovely time. Nice relaxing car ride, beautiful winery, knowledgeable sommelier. The food/wine pairing was fantastic. You will love each wine! And the small plates that accompany it.

Perfect short day trip

This experience was great from beginning to end. First they were very responsive to questions and the driver was in touch the morning of. This is a great option if you want to take a short day trip outside of Rome, but don't want to go too far. The winery was beautiful and you got to taste a good amount of wine, each paired with a snack. The person doing the tasting was very nice and very knowledgeable.
