Why Frascati
The Castelli Romani are the hill towns south-east of Rome, and Frascati is the best known of them: a white wine made from Malvasia and Trebbiano grapes on old volcanic soil, drunk young and cold with Roman food. Roman families have come up here for lunch for generations, and the wineries are close enough for a morning or an afternoon away from the city.
How to choose
If you have half a day, take the half-day tour with a farmhouse lunch: you go by regional train from Roma Termini, taste at a winery and eat in the vineyards. If you want to cook, the pasta class with wine tasting is the most reviewed experience in Frascati. For several wineries without thinking about trains, choose the private wine road tour, which picks you up in Rome.
Getting there on your own
Regional trains run from Roma Termini to Frascati through the day, and the town is a short walk from the station. Most wineries need a booking, which is why a tour is the simpler way to taste.
