Escape the chaos of Rome and unwind in the beauty of Frascati during a magical evening retreat. After a bustling morning exploring Rome's wonders, enjoy a very pleasant evening just a short distance from the city. Immerse yourself in the flavors of Roman cuisine, surrounded by the enchanting glow of the sunset over Frascati. Discover the beauty of this village and the warmth of its inhabitants
Depart from the heart of Rome (or your centrally located accommodation) at 04:30 p.m., and in a swift 45-minute drive, arrive in Frascati, where our friendly guide will be waiting. Your tour begins with a visit to a countryside farmhouse near Frascati for a guided tasting of award-winning Frascati wines. Walk through the vineyard with the vintner and learn about local grape varieties, traditional pruning methods, and the winemaking history of the Frascati region. Enjoy a tasting of three local wines, paired with seasonal snacks made from local ingredients, some harvested directly from the garden. Relax in a peaceful rural setting with beautiful panoramic views toward Rome.
Continue with a guided walk through the historic center of Frascati, discovering the town’s traditions, food culture, and daily life. Taste authentic local specialties such as slow-roasted porchetta and traditional Frascati jug wine. Meet local bakers, butchers, shop owners, and farmers, and experience Frascati like a local with a guide who lives in the town and knows the community personally.
The experience concludes with a traditional “Fagotto Dinner” at a welcoming osteria in the heart of Frascati. Inspired by the historic fraschetta tradition, this shared-style dinner includes local meats, cheeses, breads, vegetables, and Frascati wine, served in a charming historic piazza. More than just a meal, it is a celebration of local flavors, conviviality, and authentic Italian lifestyle.
After dinner, at approximately 9:00 PM, return to Rome by comfortable minivan, with drop-off at your accommodation or a central location of your choice. If Frascati has captivated you, anticipate a future return! During the journey back to Rome, feel free to request a specific drop-off location in the city center if you wish.
