Frascati Wine Road from Rome: Tasting & Lunch

Excellent few hours, we tasted 3 wines at the vineyard (1 white, 1 red and 1 dessert) with some nibbles then onto the tour around Frascati for more food and wine then onto lunch with an amazing 4 courses and a bottle of white wine from the vineyard. My advice would be don't eat breakfast and save yourself for all the food and wine, it's well worth it. On one of our evening meals in Rome the restaurant we ate at actually served the Frascati White wine that we tried at the vineyard so we ordered a bottle, the wine is delicious.

The train ride to Frascati was easy. My husband and I were met at the Frascati train station by Max and joined 11 other people for this tour. Max gave us a short walking tour of the downtown area along with some history of the community. Max was engaging and a great storyteller. We then got into vans to be whisked away to the countryside into a charming vineyard. We were met by Paola Ceccarelli, the granddaughter of the winemaker. She gave us a quick tour of the countryside grapes and then we moved inside for the tastings. Paola was informative and easy to understand. We ended our tour back in town at a local restaurant for more wine and a tasty lunch. My husband and I enjoyed being apart of a small group which consisted of people from Russia, Costa Rica, Canada and USA. We had an opportunity to talk with everyone as we tasted wine and ate good food. It's called building community. I highly recommend this delightful tour.

This tour was so enjoyable. We were picked up in Rome for the 40 min drive to Frascati to meet up with our guide Max. He was very knowledgeable and so entertaining. The vineyard was beautiful and we learned about the production of the wine The tour ended with a great lunch in town and then back to Rome.

Recomiendo el tour! Estuvo genial! Solo tener n consideración que el conductor espera en la estación de Frascati 🙂
