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!!

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.

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!

Fantastic - do not miss out! - We were surprised to find we were the only 2 for this game experience- Sandu was an excellent guide to Italian region wines. We tasted about 8 wines from sparkling, white, Rose but mostly reds- we will b enjoying them when we get back home!!

Como private wine tasting with Sandu at Capitan Drake - Hands down the best wine tasting experience in Como! We went with our son and his fiance, who were being married in Lake Como on the following Friday. Our hostess was Sandu! (hopefully I am spelling this right). We laughed and had great wines, sparkling wines, and small foods to compliment. We purchased a lot of wine to be shipped here. Prices reasonable and great tasting wines from local vineyards! The highlight of the night was my husband finding a rare champagne that he had been looking for and private story behind it. We laughed so much that the evening ended with a dessert wine and dark chocolate provided by the owner! The BEST!!!!
