Tour Highlights
Full Description
After a walk through the vineyard, relax and take in the unforgettable view of the rolling hills and Rome in the background while enjoying a guided tasting of three wines; Frascati Superiore, Red Vagnolo, and Sweet Cannellino.
After bidding a reluctant farewell to the winery, return to historic Frascati for a walking tour of the local shops and botteghe. Here you’ll taste celebrated local delicacies such as roasted pork (porchetta), focaccia, biscotti — just out of the antique wood-fired oven — and jug wine. After your meal, the train station is just a few steps away for your return to Rome.

At the Old Frascati Vineyard (transport provided), a historic and renowned family-owned winery that has been producing red and white in the region for seven generations, roam free and explore the expansive grounds, wander amongst hand-tended vines, and see inside the "secret" underground chambers where persecuted families avoided certain death during WWII. Today, they are used to store barrels of wine.
