Domaso: Wine Tasting at the Winery on Como Lake - The tasting terrace setup: three wines, serious views, and relaxed pacing

1.Domaso: Wine Tasting at the Winery on Como Lake

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 351 reviews · 1 hour 30 minutes (approx.) · from $76Our pick

A small-group winery visit in Domaso with a cellar tour and a hilltop tasting of three Lake Como wines paired with local food.

“This family-run winery in the hills of Lake Como is so much more than a wine tasting — it’s a truly authentic and memorable experience. From the start, we were welcomed like old friends and treated to generous pours of excellent wine, each paired with delicious local bites that made it feel like a full meal. We chose the vegetarian option, which included a fresh salad with house-made olive oil and balsamic vinegar, warm bread, flavorful bruschetta, and a rustic potato cake. The final course featured incredible cheeses made from their own cows. The non-veg option also looked fantastic, with a variety of charcuterie. A highlight was the tour of…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 150 reviews · 3.5 hours · from $93

Sample Como specialties on a 3.5-hour guided walk with wine, pizza, polenta, gelato, and espresso near Piazza Duomo.

“Janis is warm & informative!! It’s obvious she loves what she does!! The first stop was a wine stop, unfortunately you only get to pick one beverage. It would be great if they provided small samples of each. The pizza place was good. The lunch place provided an array of food, it was nice to try a sample of each. The gelato was yummy as was our coffee stop. All in all Janis did an excellent job showing the group local hot spots. I recommend this tour, especially if you only have a few days in Como. Thank you Janis for your passion, your enthusiasm was very much appreciated! 🙏🏽”

She was an amazing tour guide, the food was incredible, the boat ride bellisimo, Elena is as knowledgeable as she is personable. Would recommend this to anyone who wants a tour from someone who loves her job and loves food. Wear good walking shoes and an appetite, you will need them.”

Taste cheeses, pastries, and pasta on an e-bike ride from farms to lake viewpoints in Bellagio, with lunch and hot drinks included.

“Group of 5 riders all physically fit but not experienced bikers. The views and the stops were exceptional but we were not given sufficient instructions for the bikes and most of the ride is up hill! the description for this tour should explain the level of biking experience needed and the incline of the terrain. The first 20 minutes is straight up hill, very difficult if bike is not operating correctly. Too difficult for many but worth the effort if informed of the skills needed.”

Lake Como: Cheese Factory Tour and Tasting in Valsassina - Your 2.5 hours: dairy tour first, tasting right after

11.Cheese Factory Tour and Tasting in Valsassina

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 19 reviews · 2.5 hours · from $77

Carozzi in Valsassina pairs a guided dairy visit with tasting 8 cheeses, wine, honey, and compotes plus a Lake Como audio guide.

“It’s interesting to watch the production of cheese which you can try later during the tasting. Inside the diary, the smell is quite intense, so you’d better be prepared for such “attractions”. We were in a group of Italians and foreigners, thus the guide spoke mostly in Italian while there was a very little explanation in English only, which was a bit frustrating (in my opinion it shouldn’t be even mixed). You cannot take any photos inside of production line which is a bit disappointing too.”

15.Bellagio Wine Tasting + Villa Melzi

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 13 reviews · 1 hour 30 minutes (approx.) · from $156

Bellagio Wine Tasting with Villa Melzi gardens. 5 glasses, cured meats and cheeses, plus an English-speaking sommelier in 1.5 hours.

“Great experience. Our hosts were friendly and knowledgeable. We enjoyed 5 very ample glasses of wine. Since this was in a wine store ( vs winery) we were able to sample wines from around the region, some we had never heard of. They also provided a great charcuterie platter and a pasta dish, more than enough for lunch. Only hitch was that the hosts had not been aware of the villa tickets, but honestly at that point we did not care.”
