Roman Countryside Wine Tour with Gourmet Lunch
About
An original day trip from Rome to discover the City of Wine! We will first make you visit the old town of Frascati to discover the places of the wine & food tradition, meet local artisans and taste artisanal wine!
We will then transfer you in 5 minutes to our 9th generation family farmhouse. There the family will lead you to visit the old vineyards and the old wine cellar of the historic winery, where you will be introduced to the famous Frascati wine. The Minardi Historic Farmhouse is now a sort of “Frascati Wine Museum”, a family-run Wine Farmhouse surrounded by ancient vineyards, olive groves and breathtaking views.
We will guide you through a professional tasting of the three boutique wines and oil of the family production! All of the wines will be paired with a Gourmet Lunch served at the farmhouse and prepared by our Chef! Familiar Atmosphere, Vegan and Vegetarian-friendly!
