Classic Half-day Wine Tour In Frascati

Couldn’t recommend this tour enough! We were met at the station by a driver, who took us straight to the winery with no issues at all. Paola was an excellent guide, who showed us around the winery and made us all feel like family, and the food and wine was delicious! We then went into Frascati town, with another excellent guide, where we met some locals and tried some baked goods. We finished the afternoon with a lovely meal in a restaurant and even more wine! The tour really was great!

Paula, our guide at her winery, was an engaging, friendly, and knowledgeable host. Although we were 24 in out group she made me feel like she was talking to me personally. The other Paula, our guide to lunch, was very fun and helpful. Come with the intention of enjoying the Roman countryside and you’ll have a good time.

This was a great way to relax and get outside of Rome for a day. We took the metro to Termini. Then we went upstairs and got on the 9:46 Trenitalia train to Frescata Italy which was 20 minutes away. When we arrived we walked out of the station doors and the tour guide was there with a paper asking which guests have arrived. We split into different vans and wound our way up the hillside to the vineyard. There was a 20 minute tour of the vineyard where we learned about the moscato grapes that grow in the volcanic, ashy soil in the area. We then went into the cellar area where we tired one wine. More that we did try one red wine but it wasn’t grown in that region—it was grown somewhere else near Rome. Then we went outside and tried some bread and cheese, and two more glasses of wine. Then the vans came and got us again and took us to Downtown. A tour guide met us there and showed us a bakery and a restaurant. At the restaurant we had bread, cheese, charcuterie, and a plate with gnocchi and a red sauce pasta. It is only a 5 minute walk back to the train station from the restaurant. Most people in our group took the 3:36 pm train back to Rome. The trains leave very hour at 36 minutes past the hour. There is only one train platform and all trains go to Rome— So you can’t mess it up. Trains run until 9:36pm which is the last train of the night. There are shops here but they are CLOSED from 1-4pm which is most of Europe.

12 friends had a wonderful trip to Frascati. Very interesting to see and learn about wine production, nice guided tour of the city and a brilliant lunch afterwards. All communication with Dominique was good. A very professional arrangement, but still absolutely personal! I give the Classic Half-Day Wine Tour in Frascati my best recommendation.

The entire trip was amazing! Beautiful vineyard with pirouette views, with a knowledgeable and nice guide, good wine and food.
