Overview

Discover all the best Frascati has to offer from its charming city center, beautiful views and vineyards, an historic family-run winery, and fresh local cuisine. This half-day tour from Rome will stimulate your senses and rejuvenate your spirit. Frascati is an easy 25 minute train ride from Rome and is part of the Castelli Romani or ‘Roman Castles. Things move at a slower pace in Frascati. Nowhere is this fact better represented than in the the way food is produced and prepared. Porchetta is cooked in a wood burning oven for over 8 hours. The olive oil is extra virgin and cold pressed. The pasta is all hand-made. Our wine is still made with ancient techniques first used by the Romans. Here, the local baker, winemaker, tavern owner, and restaurant owner all value organic and locally sourced products. Not because its trendy, but because it’s tradition!

This tour was great! We learned so much about the wine making process and why Frascati has such amazing wine! The wine caves and history of them were so interesting! Our guide at the winery was so knowledgeable and kind. She is very experienced and a certified wine taster. Top notch! Town of Frascati is quaint and beautiful. Food was good. Would recommend to anyone looking to escape the hustle and bustle of Roma for a few hours. Oh, last but not least, the wine is molto bene ❤️

Visiting the 16th century artisanal winery in Frascati was a truly wonderful experience! An amazing day right from the start.When we arrived at the winery, an exuberant Paola greeted us with open arms and made us feel extremely welcomed. She was well detailed in explaining the origins/history of the winery and included many personal, family stories. The setting was wonderful and was very relaxing. Exploring the cave was fascinating and we tasted the first out of three delicious wines there. After the cave, we were escorted to an outdoor setting among the olive trees where we tasted two more wines. Cheeses, breads, and wine cookies were served as well. After the vineyard tour, we then went into the charming town of Frascati where we walked with our guide, Joanna, who had a bubbly personality. She showed us the local sites with a great wealth of knowledge. We were eventually escorted to a quaint restaurant, Osteria Dell'Olmo, where the food, wine, and comradery with the other guests and owner (wish I recalled his name!) was outstanding. Our driver, Marco, was prompt and was a safe driver. Lastly don't want to forget the family dog, Orzo I believe was his name, who was as friendly as can be. This was definitely a favorite, personalized experience while visiting Rome. Everything was top notch!

This was a fantastic experience, a highlight of our trip to Rome. It was extremely well organized, and each part was thoroughly enjoyable. The winery visit with Paola was fantastic- she was a passionate, knowledgeable and kind host, providing a great introduction to local Roman wine and wine making history. The vineyard is in a spectacular setting. Following our time with her, we were transported to the village for a tour with Giovanna who was also a lovely, friendly and fun host. She obviously loves her town and it’s understandable why. She showed us around and then took us to a local restaurant for a great lunch where the chef/owner joined us in conversation for a bit. Really, the whole experience was first rate and we highly recommend it!

What an excellent way to spend a few hours. We were picked up at Frascati Station and whisked to the vineyard where our very knowledgeable and interesting guide, Paola gave us an outdoor tour revolving around vines and the olive trees. Next it was into the caves of the old volcano where we tried some of the family white wine. Absolutely delicious - and this from a red wine drinker. There then followed another couple of wines with nibbles before going back to Frascati for a tour of the town and a visit to a bakery and a restaurant for a lovely group lunch and more wine. Everyone involved is very friendly and passionate about what they do. I cannot recommend it highly enough.
