I did this last year and it was phenomenal and I had to come back and do it again - Christian makes this wine tour and pairing with food delightful. It’s a perfect four hour event gives you time to do other things while you’re in Rome.!

Our host was sommelier Christian, who provided the perfect balance between giving us information about the winery, including the processes and its history, and allowing us time to ourselves to enjoy the excellent food and wine. The wine was so very delicious and the food equally so. 10/10

The winery is beautiful, and the day went super smoothly! The tour is informative and the winemaker is thoughtful and really encourages questions. You can tell he's passionate about what he does. We had a great time!

Hmmm...split on this. Tour company was late and was not reachable, even to La Vacanza Travel. La Vacanza Travel wasn't helpful - just kept texting to wait and that they could not reach the tour company. Eventually, driver showed up for only 3 of us. Never said a word. BUT, the location was wonderful, informative and the food was excellent. I would give the winery a 5/5 and the tour company a 1/5. Something better needs to happen here. Thankfully, the winery saved the operators butt in this instance and La Vacanza Travel was only slightly better.
