    This experience was...

    This experience was amazing! We were here the beginning of May and it only ended up being the two of us. The staff were so friendly, super knowledgeable and we learned a lot about wine! We were informed on how to pair the cheese and meats that were offered with the different wines and it was such a cool experience!!

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your lovely review! I'm so happy to hear that you enjoyed the tasting and that you found the wine and food pairings both interesting and enjoyable. It was a pleasure sharing our passion for wine with you, and I'm glad you left having learned something new along the way. Thank you for joining us, and I hope to welcome you back again on your next visit to Como! Cheers, Sandu

    If you like wine, It's a must stop in lake Como

    Very patient as we were running 20min late and they welcomed us with no judgement. Great knowledge in world wines with plenty of wine variety, and high qaulity. Definitely value for money with topping up glasses if you drink like me. Definitely do again when we get back to lake Como.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind review! I'm really glad you enjoyed the tasting and the selection of wines. No worries at all about the delay, I'm just happy we could still share the experience together. It was a pleasure hosting you, and I'm very happy you felt it was good value and enjoyed the variety and quality of the wines. I hope to see you again the next time you're back in Lake Como! Cheers, Sandu

    Wine Tasting and small charcuterie board

    I researched a lot of wine tastings and this was great! It was a beautifully set table with 7 different wines plus a dessert wine. The sommelier was very informative about each wine. They also provided a good portion of cheese, meat, olives and bread. We also had to arrive late and the woman still took the 2-hour time period…she did not rush us. Fun, family experience!

    A fun wine tasting in Como

    My husband and I and our friends went to Capitan Drake in Lake Como today for a wine tasting and we couldn’t of been happier. We met with Sandunika, our sommelier and she was a delight!! Very knowledgeable with her wines and just a pleasant, sweet and friendly girl. We loved the wines, the snacks and spending time with her. Do yourself a favor, if you are considering doing a wine tasting go there!

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your lovely review! I'm really happy to hear that you and your friends had such a great experience at Capitan Drake. It was a pleasure meeting you and sharing the wines, snacks, and time together. Your kind words mean a lot to me, and I'm so glad you enjoyed everything. I hope to welcome you back again the next time you're in Lake Como! Cheers, Sandu

    Top Wine Tasting: 7 wines paired with local specialties: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lake Como.

    How much does Top Wine Tasting: 7 wines paired with local specialties cost?

    +

    Prices start at $150 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Lake Como usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Top Wine Tasting: 7 wines paired with local specialties take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Lake Como is not rushed.

    Is Top Wine Tasting: 7 wines paired with local specialties worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 47 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Lake Como, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Top Wine Tasting: 7 wines paired with local specialties?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Top Wine Tasting: 7 wines paired with local specialties suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Top Wine Tasting: 7 wines paired with local specialties?

    +

    Around 16 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Lake Como can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Lake Como and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Top Wine Tasting: 7 wines paired with local specialties start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Lake Como within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Lake Como?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Lake Como experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Small-Group Lake Como & Lugano: 2 Countries in 1 Day, Boat Cruise, Como, Bellagio & Varenna: Small Group from Milan with Boat Cruise, Small-Group Lake Como: Bellagio, Varenna, Hidden Gorge & Boat. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Lake Como?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Lake Como?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
