Overview

Then it will be time to reach our old wine cellar, where our family started with wine production.
Sip two types of our family’s best wines pairing with local meats and cheese.
Next all the necessary for making pasta will be ready, so it will be your turn to get your hands dirty. Wearing apron and mixing all the ingredients together while drinking wine you’ll turned up with your own handcrafted pasta.
So it will be magical to see what happened, your pasta will be cooked with your favourite Roman Sauce and that’s it! You’ll be ready to enjoy your own pasta sipping wine and relaxing.
You won’t leave our place before not have visited our wine cave!

It's no secret that culture and knowledge are passed on from generation to generation. When it comes to Italian culture, it's safe to say that what can be learned from our ancestors is truly extraordinary. Your hosts Paolo and Simone learned how to grow and make wine, how to make pasta from scratch, and of course how to prepare wonderful local delicacies from their Nonna.After introductions are made at Frascati railway station, your guide will lead the way on a short walk through historic Frascati, the very heart of the Roman countryside. You'll get a glimpse of this characteristic town and it's rich history dating back to Roman times.After a short walk, you'll arrive at a beautiful wine cellar where your hosts will open the wines produced at the family vineyard, namely Frascati Superiore D.O.C.G. (don't worry, you'll learn what all those initials mean!) and Vagnolo. After tasting each wine with some traditional appetisers, the pasta making begins!Our chef will teach you how to make real homemade pasta, so be ready to get your hands dirty! Once you have mixed and rolled out your pasta you will be faced with a difficult choice, WHICH Roman style dish would you like to create? Choose from three typical recipes, Carbonara, Amatriciana, or Cacio e Pepe and let the chef guide you through the basics of preparation.The grand finale? Buon Appetito! Sit and enjoy your pasta while conversing with the other guests for as long as you like. After dinner you'll have a chance to view the "caves" below the wine cellar.

    A wonderful time with fabulous hosts. A real hidden gem just outside of Rome city. Easy train relief from termini and met at the other end as described. A lovely town, we walked the gardens also

    We booked our experience last minute and we couldn’t have been more delighted. The communication and instructions for meeting our hosts was excellent. This is a family run business with a local Frascati family. One of the cousins, Nico, met us at the station and took us on a brief walk through the town before taking us to the venue. His knowledge both of the history of the area and winemaking was really impressive. The venue is really nice and beautifully converted, whitewashed light and airy . The wine tasting was excellent and included some meats and cheese. We had a fun lesson making pasta which Nico made look very easy. He was a great teacher and really helpful. We enjoyed eating the pasta we had made with a choice of 3 typical sauces which Nico made in the kitchen area whilst we watched. He even gave us a tour of the cellars which used to be used for fermenting wine. Like the town, they have an interesting history all of their own! If you are thinking of coming to the area, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this tour. We felt very welcomed and not at all processed as is the case with some tourist activities.

    Interesting and easygoing experience! In addition of learning how to make pasta, you also hear interesting facts about the beautiful Frascati. Special thanks for flexibility; we lost the train from Rome to Frascati and the organizer gave in a minute several solutions how we could join the course now or later or if it would have been impossible, they even offered a voucher to give it someone else. This I would call Service.

    There are some steps and inclines to overcome before you get to the pasta making venue, but the experience is well worth the effort for those that are capable. Warm family experience and ambience. The sampling of the wines is only the beginning as the family have history in the building and along with the pasta experience, a number of ways to ensure you remember how you made such a wonderful Italian pasta dish. Everything provided, all neatly tidied afterwards. Extra wine available for a very acceptable price throughout the pasta making experience. Delicious and truly amazing to eat your own creation on completion. The sauces are made in front of your eyes and cooked along with the pasta you made, in a matter of minutes. Once again, highly recommend this trip for anyone looking for something slightly different. The train journey from Rome to Frascati. It’s worth getting the tickets at Rome TrainTermini and validating at the stations. Just my opinion. Our group as I’m assured all groups are, were extremely friendly, even more so after the wine sampling!! There are some fantastic views in Frascati as well so don’t forget to take as many photographs as you can. Wonderful memory and a great experience.
