The staff was extremely... - The staff was extremely professional and welcoming to the experience. They were clearly knowledgeable and they were able to clearly and concisely convey the aging/fermenting process and the regions of the grapes.

One of a Kind Experience, 100/10 Recommend - We had about 7 people total for our experience (we were a group of 3 within the 7) and it was amazing to have a such an intimate, personal experience inside the shop. Our guide for all of the wines was superb and the wines were unique but delicious! I've been to quite a few wine tasting, but this one has been my most memorable one yet! The location is a bit hidden and outside of Como and you would never know this amazing gem is right there! All of the wines we tasted were local and had beautiful stories and bites paired with them!

Hidden Gem - We had the best time with the best sommelier! She was very knowledgeable and answered all our questions! Very fun banter and conversation about the location in general. Even had the opportunity to send wine home back to the states!

Friendly Staff, Super interesting and BEAUTIFUL WINE - We travelled from Bellano, como, to attend and it’s safe to say that Capitain Drake is really the best!! Me and my partner loved every moment and also made some friends on the way ! Felt intimate and relaxing . We had a map of Italy so while they are explaining the wine and its origins, you have a map (genius idea)! They sell wine so that if you like it so much so that you have to bring them back YOU CAN . I did, two out of the 5 I tried !! I would have brought all but I could not bring them back with me. Staff are very knowledgeable and whether you know about wine or not , by the end, you’ll be a connoisseur! Grazie Mille a tutto lo staff , esperienza da rifare!

Awesome wine experience in como - Everything was great, we loved the cheese board and wine pairing! We got to try wines from all over Italy and everyone was so well informed. When we come back to Como we will definitely come back here. Also, the wines for purchase were very reasonably priced we bought 12 to ship home (including most of the ones we tasted)!

Great experience! - Fabulous time wine tasting in the heart of Como. Our Sommelier was fabulous and we also enjoyed our tasting with a lovely couple. All of the wines were perfectly pared with either a meat or cheese, now I understand the importance of pairings!! Highly recommend!

Excellent Wine Tasting from the Lombardi Region - Giuseppe selected some excellent wines to pair with the meats and cheeses provided, and provided great commentary and explanations on the wine making process. He was really enjoyable to chat with. A lovely and memorable experience from our time in Como.
