Our guide, Massimo kept us entertained on the bus as well as at the vineyard and wine tasting. It was nice to head out to the countryside-a welcome departure from the busy Roman streets.

Our guide was excellent...as were the views and the wine! This tour is a must...and it was refreshing to get out of Rome and into the stunning hillsides.

Chatty Director-Winemaker was interesting. Bus was first class and wine was terrific. Six different countries on the tour and after the tasting everyone became knew everyone.

Review by: laura	October 2011
Almost our favorite of 5 tours we took. The wine is excellent, the olive oil and fresh baked bread heavenly, the winery owner entertaining and the guide amusing. The trip through the country side was an added treat.

We really enjoyed our wine tasting tour. Our tour guide was great.

Review by: Cooke	October 2011
This tour was just great! Tiffany our guide was a delight and very knowledgeable and personable. The history and beauty of the vineyard was impressive and the wine, divine! The motor coach and driver are top notch. My one and only complaint was the meeting place. Just a little unsavory area, but the fact that we just didn't know where the exact pick up spot was going to be was a little unnerving.

Review by: Corey W	August 2011
Our tour guide, Tiffany, was amazing! She was extremely knowledgeable and gave us a crash course in the history and relevance of wine throughout history. Her personality is contagious and made the tour one of our best experiences while in Rome. Overall, the tour was very enjoyable and was one of the very few that leave directly from Rome.

Review by: BARRY A	July 2011
This was a great afternoon out to the Pallavincini Vineyards in Frascati .The scenery , the tour of the vineyard and of course the tastings were all fabulous and of a very high standard . BARRY A .

Review by: Koon Sing T	July 2011
3-4 depending on how much you like wine. Even if you don't like wine worth doing just as a reminder that there is more to Rome than just the ancient city centre. The landscape is stunning, and given that we were already there, it would have been nice to have some time half an hour to 3/4 of an hour in one of the towns that make up the Roman castles.

Review by: Stephanie W	July 2011
Great surroundings, great wines, great olive oil and a really great tourguide, arianna! :) A good day to escape from the heat of rome.

Review by: Jeff A	July 2011
outstanding

Review by: Edina Timea V	July 2011
Wine tasting and winery should be at the same place. Otherwise it was a nice experience with good wines.

Review by: Elaine M	July 2011
This trip was fantastic. The tour guide and the wine expert both made the trip very interesting and I would highly reccomend it to anyone who has an interest in drinking wine and learning about it. The vineyard was very peaceful and only a short bus journey from the centre of Rome.

Review by: Catherine M	July 2011

It was good---We enjoyed it.

Review by: Aksel Kristian H	June 2011
Fantastic tour guide, incredible sights and a great wine tasting experience. Worth every penny.

Review by: cathy K	May 2011
The wines were nice but the amount of wine we tasted was a very small amount. I would rather have tasted more. Typically in Italy, the winery considers a glass of wine a taste. The tour guide was entertaining and seemed knowledgeable until he told us grapevines only lived to 30 years. This is inaccurate although perhaps only applies to the grapes grown in Italy? With all that said, we still enjoyed the drive to the countryside. The bus was very comfortable and the wine cellar was amazing.

Review by: Theresa S	May 2011
An enjoyable ride by coach through the countryside ending at the vineyard. The wine-master, although he spoke in Italian, was gracious and generous! But I think our tour guide and her trainee made the trip a pleasure. The tour guide was very attentive and informative.

Review by: Denise K	May 2011
My husband and I both enjoyed ourselves on this tour. It was very interesting to see everything and the wine and olive oil were delicious. Tiffany was a great guide! Would recommend this tour to others!

Review by: Frank M	May 2011
Frascati tour was first class lots of information --well informed guide. Wasn't expecting to have to go across the city to the meeting point. I think description mentioned cheese sampling of which there wasn't any.

Review by: Ellen C	May 2011
What a wonderful tour Tiffany gave our group!_br/_ She gave an historical overview of wine making, as well as information about the area around the Pallavicini Vineyards._br/_ At the wine-tasting, we were treated to many wines,olive oil, with bread and fruit. Since this was our first trip to Italy, we thoroughly enjoyed this event.

Review by: John P, United States of America	June 2010
Our tour was wonderful. Our tour guide was the best we have had. Her knowledge of wine and her history behind the testing of wine was invaluable. Our grown kids loved the tour and appreciated all of the knowledge she relayed to us.

Review by: Mark L, United States of America	November 2009
My wife and I greatly enjoyed the wine tasting tour. Our guide was excellent and passed on her knowledge of the history of wine in Italy and wine in general. We also enjoyed the wine tasting itself. I have however had a difficult time locating the wines so far in the States. All 3 wines tasted were very good!!
