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.

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 .

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.

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.
