Following a stroll through the grapevine range, unwind while absorbing the memorable panorama of the undulating terrain with Rome as the backdrop, as you partake in a three-wine guided tasting; Frascati Superiore, Red Vagnolo, and Sweet Cannellino.
Upon sadly departing the vineyard, make your way back to the historic Frascati for an ambulatory tour of neighborhood shops and botteghe.

Perfect way to escape Rome to the countryside - We loved every minute of this tour and it ended up being in our top three favorite things we did on our entire Mediterranean trip to Italy, Greece and Turkey. The people spoke with such passion, Simone was a great and very knowledgeable guide (we learned a ton) and the wine was perfect. We were looking to get out of the busyness of Rome and this was the perfect choice. Book it - you won't regret it.

Nice introduction to Frascati wine region - Our host at the vineyard was very informative and friendly. She made us feel welcome and the wine was excellent. We also appreciated the short tour of the town of Frascati and the lunch was very good. It was nice to get out of the city for a day and enjoy the views from the hills. I would highly recommend this tour.

Wonderful day in Frascati learning about wine and local history - We had an amazing experience during our tour in Frascati that exceeded expectations. We learned about the local grapes and history of the area, got a tour of the vineyard, and tasted delicious wines. Afterwards, we were taken back into the town of Frascati and given a walking tour of the town before going to the restaurant for lunch. Lunch was delicious with meats and cheeses, pasta, and wine. Definitely would recommend this as a day trip out of Rome!

Recommend day out - A great day out. Easy to get to via train, the vineyard is amazing (say hello to the dog), followed by a quick village tour and lunch.
A nice break from the city.

Amazing escape from Rome - Clearly the town of Frascati got together to create this awesome tour to show off their town. A very well planned collaboration and a variety of really cool activities… and great wine along the whole tour. To be this convenient to Rome and this different was a treat.

Highly recommended wine tour - We've been to several wine tasting events in other countries and can say this one was by far the most enjoyable. The lady who hosted our party was the boss but, unfortunately, I can't remember her name, however, she was really informative and lead the event well. Both the historic setting and the buildings were really interesting with the caves/vaults below being an added bonus. The wine tasted wonderful and the tasting instruction was educational. The only pity was we didn't have an opportunity to buy any at the winery.
We then visited the quaint and historic town of Frascati where we had lunch in a local restaurant. The weather was against us but this part of the event was also very enjoyable and worthwhile.
A highly recommended wine tour.

Lovely Wines on a great tour. - We had a great day meeting lots of new people and a very informative tour. The wine freely flowed and we were given a great tour of the wine cellars and the environment where the wine is made.
We later went on for a guided tour of Frascati which was lovely and gave us an insight into the local produce, this was followed by lunch with our fellow tour participants. Wine again flowed well and the atmosphere was lovely and relaxed with a nice traditional Italian lunch served where the locals go!

Shearings - Waste of time and money doing the tour - do it alone - Shearings Tour of Frascati and a taste of. Again trapped on the coach for hours. This included a stop at the Pope’s summer residence, Castel Gondolfo, which is now a museum. We were given an hour and told we would not be able to access the museum. This was not true, cost €12. However it was a rush, rush. We thought we would be given a tour of Frascati, but instead we were taken to a back street tavern, and given a scrap of porchetta (roast pork) and 2 slices of cheese (don’t know what cheese), and a glass of wine. Then an opera singer started to sing, nice lady but could not reach the high notes, however it was fun, and everyone got involved – because we were all nice good people. When that was over, we all disbursed, looked for somewhere to lunch (street food) and sat for 1 hour in ice cream bar before getting on the coach again. I would say that this was a waste of money and not a true tour of Frascati or even a taste of the local dishes or produce.
