About this tour
A six-hour private drive from Rome takes you to a 300-year-old family winery in the Castelli Romani hills, where you'll taste wines alongside local bread, oil and cheese. Afterwards, explore Nemi, a medieval hilltop village famous for wild strawberries and sweeping views across volcanic lakes. Your air-conditioned car and English-speaking driver handle the logistics, leaving you free to soak in the wine region's quieter rhythms.

- Generations-deep winemaking at a 1712-established estate
- Curated tastings paired with artisanal regional produce

What to expect
Your driver collects you from your Rome hotel and heads south into rolling vineyards. At the winery, staff walk you through their current releases alongside platters of local bread, cheese and oil—expect a relaxed tasting, not a formal lecture. You'll spend roughly two hours here. The second half of the day shifts to Nemi itself: narrow cobbled lanes, a main piazza with a lake-view bench, shops selling the local strawberry jam and liqueur. The drive back to Rome takes about an hour. Bring sunscreen and comfortable shoes for the village's uneven streets.
Good to know
Wine tastings often include lighter pours—pace yourself. Meals aren't provided; grab lunch in Nemi if you're hungry. The winery and village are both wheelchair accessible. Confirm pick-up time the evening before. Summer afternoons can be hot; plan rest stops in the shade.
