Itinerary
We will have fun by cooking fresh Pasta from scratch in a unique context: my family's 17th century family-run wine farmhouse, located in Frascati's vineyards (only 24 minutes train ride from Rome!). We will also enjoy a guided Wine Tour of our vineyard and farmhouse (a sort of wine museum now, no modern winemaking there) and have a Wine tasting of our nr. 3 family Wines, along with the lunch that will include the pasta varieties prepared by you, the tasty appetizers and the local sweets! We will meet in Frascati station and we will go to my family farmhouse (only 5 minutes drive) to discover a special place.. Me and my family team, also made of a pro Chef, will teach you how to prepare nr.2 of the traditional pasta recipes, including “Ravioli” and “Fettuccine“, as well as some of the secrets of the local culinary tradition! I will also provide you with our Pasta recipes! At the end of the experience we will accompany you back in Frascati station, to go back to Roma Termini station!

A nice and cozy pasta and wine day treatment. Nice nice people. Good atmosphere. Really recommended to do something different on holiday.
Yesterday was my favorite day in "Rome". The city of Rome is a noisy, congested, overwhelming City. But right outside of Rome in the countryside of Frascati, it's beautiful, relaxing, and friendly. The wine flowed, we made pasta like Nonna used to make, we walked the vineyard, shared stories, sang, and laughed a lot. It was like being with family with complete strangers. It was a beautiful day. I highly recommend this adventure.
Host was great just make sure the pizza making portion is available before you book, ended with live music. Vineyard is 10 acres and has a beautiful intimate feel
HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! We took a day trip into Frascati from Roma. We were picked up right on time and taken to the vineyard. The pasta making class was amazing. Then we got to experience the family made wine with a special visit from one of the family members that explained history of the house and how the winery dates back 9 generations. Our guide NICO was amazing! Very knowledgeable and welcoming. If you ever get the opportunity to do this experience it is well worth it and request NICO as your guide, you won’t regret it. Cheers!
What a wonderful experience, one of the best parts of our Rome, Italy vacation. The Minardi Winery was in the beautiful hills of the Frascati Region. We toured the vineyards and the winery and took a Master Pizza-making class. It was like a Sunday family dinner. The people were warm and funny and welcoming. Awesome food, incredible wine and a sunny afternoon in an amazing place|! The wine we ordered to be shipped home arrived in short-time, too. Grazcie!!!
Thanks to you for a wonderful day!! Enjoy the Italian wines! :-)
They cancelled soon after I booked and I am still waiting for my refund. I don't know why they cancelled nor was I given an alternative tour option.
Hi, sorry but you have been duly refunded as showed in the system, we are allowed to cancel and refund the experience, and we did it immediately so that you had time to organize your schedule. Moreover, you did not attend the experience, so you are not allowed to write a review only based on your concerns about the cancellation policies, that are not related to the experience itself, and that you accept when you book. Thanks
We had an awesome time at the winery! The pizza making was incredible, the wines were amazing, and the hosts were fun and knowledgeable.
Fantastic day spent making pasta and drinking wine! Easy 30 minutes train from Rome to Frascati. Book directly with Minardi winery and they will pick you up from the Frascati station. Great way to enjoy a slower pace after the frenzy of touring Rome.
Thank you Karen! We had a great time with you guys, and happy that you have enjoyed the relaxing mood of our land.. :-)
This was one of the best parts of our trip to Rome. I’d booked as part of a surprise for my partner 50th birthday and it didn’t disappoint. From the minute we were collected from the station (easy journey and great instructions) and warmly welcomed by Nicolo and Alfredo, to being dropped back on Frascati Centre, we were treated to an excellent pizza making masterclass, followed by some lovely wine tasting. The team are warm, welcoming and so knowledgeable on the wine and their home town & surrounding area. The pizza and lunch we were served was one of the best I had whilst on our break. This was an all round lovely experience and I would recommend this tour 100%.
Thanks a lot Karen! We had a blast!! Again best wishes! :-)
