Highlights
  • Frascati Centro storico - Welcome to Frascati! We’ll begin our half-day adventure by exploring the delightful town of Frascati, renowned as “the City of the Roman Golden Wine” and home to the grand Renaissance Villas of noble Roman families. Our tour will reveal why Frascati played a pivotal role in the history and wine traditions of the Eternal City. We’ll wander through the historic center, savoring artisanal jug wine in a traditional Wine Tavern frequented by local farmers. This wine will be paired with delicious local flatbread! Next, we’ll take a short drive to our family’s historic Farmhouse, just minutes from town.

  • Minardi Frascati Winery - Our journey continues at our family’s historic Wine Farmhouse, nestled in the Frascati Wine valleys, a mere 7-minute drive from Frascati. For nine generations, the Minardi family has cultivated vineyards and olive trees here, producing jug wine in the old cellar. Our farmhouse now serves as a “Frascati Wine Museum,” surrounded by vineyards and olive groves, where we celebrate the culture of fine local wines and cuisine. Enjoy a guided tour and tasting of our 3 Boutique Wines and EVO Oil, followed by a traditional LUNCH at the farmhouse and a musical surprise! Occasionally, we dine at the traditional Tavern in Frascati. After this delightful experience, we’ll drive you back to town for your return train to Rome from the city center. Prepare to relax and enjoy! Instagram: minardiwinery

Amazing wine tour!!! - This was the most amazing tour. Our tour guide Pierre was fantastic, energetic, knowledgeable and fun. We lived learning about the town of Frascati, the food and if course the wine. At the end of the tour the Minardi family, the staff and our guide played music and sang. It wil be a lasting memory for me and my family for sure. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Excellent Day Trip From Rome - This was a wonderful day trip from Rome. It was great to get out of the city where it is cooler and much less crowded. The town is very quaint and our Guide Michelle was fantastic. She is a trained sommelier, so her knowledge of the town and the history of Frascati ( the wine )was wonderful. The Minardi vineyard is beautiful and we had a lovely time tasting wine and enjoyed a delicious lunch inside the winery. Our group became instant friends and had a wonderful day, with an easy train ride back to Roma Termini. Highly recommend!!!

Nice day in Frascati. - Went on this tour on last Sunday in April with My parents (78 years old). Good weather. Our guide was giving an interesting and funny tour in Frascati. The wine history in Frascati was interesting, and the wine stop in the city was cool. The 2 wines that was part of the tasting was good. Lunch was good in the old cellar. The music entertainment we got in the end was fantastic. It was really good to get out of from Rome to and meet the real Italy.

Great day out of Rome. - Really enjoyed the break out of Rome by doing this tour. The setting of the vinyard in Frascati is just superb, with excellent views back over the city of Rome. The tour is fun, informative and informal. Lots of snacks, cheese, wine and sweet wine(which was amazing). The meal at the end was really good and plenty of food and wine for all. We would recommend doing this tour. Great value for money.
