Rome: Exclusive Private Wine Tasting & Countryside Escape

The winery experience was absolutely delightful. From the moment Patrick picked us and skillfully drove is out to the winery while sharing so many interesting facts about the area, to Lorenzo’s expert sharing of their wines. We were enchanted. Rarely do I like wines at any winery but here I actually like the white, rose and the rosso. The jams made with the wines were delicious, but were not for sale just yet. I must also mention the very light and fresh olive oil they also produce. The setting was charming and beautifully decorated from treasures found during the owners travels.

I would recommend pick-up transportation to/from your location, our driver Max was on time, cordial and informative of all things Roma. Our Italian was rusty but his English was strong. Our wine tour guide Lorenzo was party of the family from Cantine Santa Benedetta; the visit started with a warm greeting in the vineyards and the groves of the many olive trees! Yes, it’s true, too many grapes can negatively impact the quality of the harvest and Cantine Santa Benedetta has truly taken the time to thin the clusters for absolutely amazing wines. The views were exceptional and the history of wine and church (old church on site) were fascinating! The food pairings were very well thought out and made every bite pleasing to the taste. We will enjoy the wines and olive oil as your new club members. Grazie Lorenzo for a wonderful part of Roma.

The wine and olive oil were fantastic! The driver was one of the best I have used! The vineyard was beautiful the staff made us feel welcome and happy to see us! A must do next trip to Roma! Would recommend to friends and family.

This is highly recommended. My partner and I wanted to get out of the hustle snd bustle of the city and this was a fantastic reprieve. The tour was great. The father and son who are the family who owns the vineyard made this even more fantastic. Id absolutely do this again

Loved this tour, Patrick was great and chatted on the drive, the Winery was superb and the food was amazing, wish I did this tour when we arrived as I would of done it again.

Driver made our experience unpleasant. Showed up with an attitude, not flexible, and impatient. This was a private tour so only our group was getting picked up. One of our group members got lost before pickup and the driver was very impatient, breathing hard, and telling us he cannot wait. We also asked him to circle the block since he was upset about being parked on the street too long but he refused and said it was too much trouble. Our friend gets there about 15 minutes after the pick up. All is good and we are on the way. We get there only for him to sit in the van and wait for us to finish the tour. He could have just said, this is a timed experience so the longer we wait, the shorter time you'll have at the tour (especially since he was just sitting in the car waiting. It's not like he had to leave to go pick up anyone else). Aside from that, the winetasting experience was great once we had some wine in us to shake off everything with the driver.

The winery was beautiful and the woman running the tour was very congenial and knowledgeable about wine. I thought the entire process seemed rushed and was not a good value for the price paid.

Luca is amazing Terrible driver from the hotel to the winery-rude awful driver!! Luca made up for it - he made us feel like family sharing wine. Wonderful!!!

Our driver was fabulous. Once we got to the winery, we were greeted by the owner and the sommelier Eleanora. She took us on a tour of the winery and explained the process they use to make their wines. We then headed inside to taste 3 different wines with food pairings. The wines were over the top and the venue was beautiful!

After confusion on where to pick us up at our hotel, driver finally found us, and it was a long hour ride out of the city of Rome. But once we arrived at the winery, it was gorgeous. We went to the winery of Santa Benedetta. We were met by the owners son, Luca, who was absolutely amazing. He was knowledgeable, accommodating, and very professional. The wine and the food pairings were incredible. The downside was the drive back, our driver, Mauro said that we were 15 minutes late and he may a very hostile drive back to Rome!!!! I highly recommend the winery tour, be careful if you get Mauro as a driver!!!
