The Minardi Family Winery Tour Frascati

Photo Credit: Minardi Winery Frascati

If you're looking for a unique and memorable winery tour just outside of Rome, then this bespoke half-day trip might be just what you need. You'll get the chance to discover the cheerful spirit of a community and its family-run traditions while enjoying boutique wines and local tasty food.
Your day will start by meeting at Frascati station, just a short train ride from Rome. From there, you'll be taken to a 17th-century family-run wine farmhouse located in the heart of Frascati's vineyards. This farmhouse is now a wine museum, and you'll get the chance to enjoy a guided wine tour of the vineyard and farmhouse. You'll also have the opportunity to taste three of the family's wines and enjoy a delicious lunch featuring the pasta you prepare, along with tasty appetizers and local sweets.
But the highlight of the day will undoubtedly be the pasta-making experience. You'll learn how to make fresh pasta from scratch with the help of a professional chef and the family team. You'll prepare two traditional pasta recipes, including "Ravioli" and "Fettuccine", and learn some of the secrets of the local culinary tradition. The family will even provide you with their pasta recipes, so you can recreate the experience at home.
The experience promises to be fun, with storytelling, humor, history, musical surprises, and a millennial wine and food culture. The family team will make sure you have a great time while learning about their traditions and enjoying their wines and food. Alfredo is the main attraction (he's a friend of ours!) with his sweet and kind manner, his dad is also extremely charming. Almost a Paul Newman look-a-like, who loves to tell stories.
And we'll let you onto a little secret, Alfredo Minardi is also a talented musician, who loves to entertain, so you may end up having a wonderful musical accompaniment too! This is definitely the place to go for a fun-loving younger crowd.

At the end of the day, you'll be taken back to Frascati station to catch a train back to Rome. This bespoke half-day trip promises to be an unforgettable experience that you'll cherish for years to come. So, get ready to relax, have fun, and discover the joys of a family-run tradition.
