We came in the beginning of January for this tour, and again we were the only ones on it, but it was worth it! We decided to have our honeymoon the day after our wedding in Italy (December 29th), and even though it was off season, I would say it's the only way to explore Italy.
But with enough of that rambling, this tour was still everything! I honestly didn't know what to expect (I didn't read the itinerary before), but it exceeded my expectations, and then some.
Giovanna (Giovanni? Forgive me!) was our tour guide, and she was incredibly knowledgeable about the town. And my wife and I were so grateful to be the only ones on this tour, because it really afforded us a very intimate view of Italian life.
The couple of stops we made were excellent, but when we got to our final destination, this is where we spent the most amount of time.
Sorry to keep going, but to explain myself a little bit: I was a pizza chef for quite a few years and quite a few places, but I won't name any of them, and I'd still say that it's quite the hobby for me. So coming to this place had me high on my hopes, and they were always met. Cooking pizza in the home country, and especially on this particular tour was the best way to do it. Somewhere out in the Italian countryside, with a homegrown pizza chef.
I'll stop there, but if you're looking for a place to go for something fun (and to cook!), I would recommend this place highly.

Just half an hour from chaotic Rome, you get to visit an old family-owned winery in Frascati. The property itself has a lot of history, wine cellars (volcanic caves are amazing) and history behind the place is unbelievable. Wine tasting took place in the room on the property, the host was great, friendly and involving.
Afterward, we had an amazing lunch in Frascati in an old family-owned osteria, where the servings are really generous. Unlike Rome, there is no rush, so we ended up socializing with other people in the group as well as with the owner of the restaurant. I would highly recommend this experience.

Loved this winery! Only 20 min by train from Rome. Pick up at the railway station and brought to the winery. Beautiful countryside, magical setting. We made raviolli from scratch and fettuccine. Lots of fun and camaraderie. Our guide Stephanie was wonderful. We ate what we made and more, they even provided gluten free for me. Wine was delicious and the atmosphere memorable. After lunch came out guitar and piano and the chef came out to sing. Everyone joined in for the refrains. We thought we were dreaming, such a wonderful day! On the way home we were driven through the village to the raiway station .Make sure you book in advance , Alfredo will answer all your questions. Would do it again ! Thank you so much!

Recently joined a small group for the Sunset Wine Tour & Dinner. Things were lovely at the winery despite the owner explaining there was none of the advertised “delectable” virgin Olive oil to taste as it had run out 6 months ago. The driver then took us into town where we met a guide who showed us a bakery (and served a bite sized piece of pork sandwich), though she didn’t order up pizza, slow roasted pork and other items as advertised in the tour outline. She then took us to a small restaurant in town to dine outside (not the charming square that was advertised), where we had a small meal (not the picnic style advertised), and then she left us. No sign of the advertised views over Rome nor the sunset. Most guests left early, about 8pm. We went looking for the advertised sunset views and the square we had been told we were going to dine in. Trains back to Rome leave hourly, and a group of us decided to get on the 8.30pm train. The written tour information we had been given said we could return to Rome “ every hour as you prefer”. Pity the train conductor halfway to Rome didn’t exactly see it that way. She said you’ve been given tickets for the 9.36pm train so you shouldn’t be on this earlier one !. Not exactly a glowing end to our day. Nice tour of the winery though and some tastings. You might want to eat a good lunch first though.

This Wine & food tour was realy memorable, not only by the fact that you visit a beautiful pitoresque vinyard, a winehouse and a deep wine cellar of the family Ceccarelli, dated from the time of Ancient Rome, but also because of the frendly and kind guides that welcome you and share their knowledge and passion for the production of the highest level of Italian wine, as well as for the perfect fusion with the most famous Italian dishes. After trying their Frascati Superiore DOCG Malvazia, you have no choice but to take some of it home and enjoy with your family and friends. We enjoyed every second of it and I highly recommend it! Cheers 😊

This Food and Wine tour was so much better than I could have imagined. The information provided was clear and precise re directions where to meet etc
When we were introduced to our first guide as past of the wine tour, I was very impressed. Our wonderful guide, Paula, was a family member from the property and vineyard and she was to show us around and do the wine tasting with.
The information was excellent as was the awesome venue. We were treated to an underground cave for our white wine tasting and red and dessert wine was outside in the garden.
Paula was excellent 👌 👍
Daniella was our awesome guide for the 2nd part of the tour. She was gorgeous and had a great wit about here.
An excellent tour, not to be missed

Booked this tour because it was one of the few open at this time of the year, but it turned out to be one of the best experiences of our visit to Rome. Our family was the only participants, except from one person doing research for a travel company. Dominique, our guide, was a true pleasure to meet and she guided us through the history of the village along with a few anecdotes. The tour of the village was great and the visit to the bakery was a highlight. Meeting the family of the winery and hearing about the history and the present conditions was also a great experience. Wine and food during the tour was really good and, compared to a lot of other tours, this was really good value for the money. Can really recommend this tour to everyone interested in good wine, food and some history on top of that! Frascati was a true joy!

The Old Minardi Farmhouse – A Highlight of our Travels
Where should I begin?
I was planning a 3 night pre-cruise stay in Rome, 12 night Mediterranean Cruise, and two night stay in Venice for my wife and I, and our travel partners. We wanted to do a wine tour in Italy, but ruled out Tuscany due to the distance. My research led me to Frascati, a wine region I was not familiar with, located just outside of Rome. Thanks to reviews in Trip Advisor, I found The Old Minardi Farmhouse Wine Tour.
I began corresponding with Dominique, who indicated that she grew up in California, so I knew we would have no language issues. She indicated they had just started the wine tour in May of this year.
In her e-mails, Dominique provided all the information necessary for us to make our decision. She was quick to respond to all e-mails, and to answer all of my questions. Once I booked the tour, Dominique provided specific information on taking the train to Frascati which was very helpful. When a potential transit strike was looming, Dominique indicated her driver could pick us up at our hotel and provided a cost if it was needed.
On our first day in Rome we walked to the train station to get our bearings, so we knew where to go. If you require assistance, you need to pull a number, and watch the board to see when it is your turn to speak with an Agent. While at the train station we spoke with Customer Service which provided the schedule for Frascati, and information on how to purchase the tickets. We went to the Newsstand to the left of the Customer Service as you are looking to where the trains are. The cost of a one way ticket was 2.1 Euros. We purchased two tickets each. Before getting on a train, make sure you validate your ticket which stamps the date, and punches a hole in it. It must be validated if an Inspector asks to see it, otherwise you could be fined.
The next day we arrived at the train station early to catch the 9:54 a.m. train. It was a good thing, as the platform used for Frascati, number 26 that day, was a long walk from the entrance of the train station. It was a relaxing 20-25 minute trip to Frascati. Upon arriving at the Frascati train station, we were playing tourist taking pictures. I heard my name being called, and looked up to the second level where Dominique was waving. Dominique is a beautiful person inside and out. She has been in Italy long enough to have a cute accent. From the moment we met at the train station, our tour began. Dominique provided us with the history of the Frascati Region, and how it was tied to the Vatican. Our first pause at the top of the stairs was to take in the view overlooking Rome. The wide pedestrian area was filled with locals sitting and conversing. Dominique then led us through some of the town, walking past shops, restaurants and Churches. She provided us with interesting information. I won’t go into detail, as I will leave that for you to experience with Dominique. We paused again at another vantage point where you could overlook Rome including St. Peter’s dome.
Frascati, like many other places we visited, offered countless photo opportunities.
We continued the tour of Frascati, walking to meet our driver Marco. Dominique said she would meet us at the farm. It was only about a ten minute picturesque drive to the farm. Marco took us down a dirt road along the vineyard where Dominique introduced us to her Father in Law Umberto, and Toby, their dog. Have no fear of Toby, he is a quiet, gentle dog who loves to be around people. Umberto’s family have farmed the land for several generations. Umberto was holding a basket with the last few grapes in the vineyard, as the harvest had already taken place. Umberto offered each of us a sample. The grapes were small, super sweet, and delicious.
Umberto does not speak English. Dominique translates for Umberto. As others have indicated, Umberto is very passionate, and proud of their family history, their farm, and the history of the Frascati Region. Although Umberto does not speak English, we felt very connected to him that day. Dominique and Umberto worked well together.
Umberto invited us into his vineyard where he explained what was required to maintain the vines. Their operation is all natural, and they are DOC (Denominazione di Origine Controllata, Original Location Certified). Everything is done by hand. The vineyard is inspected regularly to maintain their certification. I will leave the details to Umberto.
We moved out of the vineyard up to some olive trees. Umberto explained the process of maintaining the trees, and harvesting the olives. Umberto strongly suggested we not taste the olives. Our travel partner tried one, and learned quickly that Umberto was right. The olives have to go through a process before becoming edible.
We moved up to the farmhouse where Umberto unlocked the door to the winery area. Umberto took us on trip back in time, explaining how his ancestors started wine making, and the process they used. He then explained the process used today. Umberto appeared to enjoy answering any questions we had. I believe he appreciated our interest.
Our tour ended with Umberto at the winery. A local arrived just then to pick up some wine.
Dominique led us to a patio overlooking Rome. The view was breathtaking. A white canopy was set up to provide shade. Two round tables were set up with tablecloths, and had white resin chairs around them. The wine was displayed on a corner of the patio. The view to the right had two young ladies riding horses at a neighbouring property. Dominique left us for a minute and returned with a cutting board filled with a potato pizza, and a pizza with just sauce, purchased from a local shop, for the wine pairings. Dominique started us with their white wine Antiche Terre Tuscolane, Frascati Superiore 2011 which was paired with the potato pizza. Both were delicious. Dominique provided some insight into living in Italy.
Umberto surprised us with a visit on the patio to deliver some fresh tomatoes he prepared for us with some olive oil and fresh basil. The dish was simple but full of flavour, and very much appreciated by all of us. The next pairing was the pizza with just sauce, and the red wine Antiche Terre Tuscolane Vetus Lazio which is actually made by a neighbour. Dominique also provided us with a bread basket, and olive oil for dipping, which they also produce.
Dominique then introduced us to a sweet dessert type wine Cannelino Frascati, similar to our Late Harvest Wine. This is a white wine which is made by a neighbour. They have formed a partnership with these neighbours to be able to provide a variety of wine.
It was very relaxing, and such a pleasure to talk with Dominique. Dominique then indicated that we had a reservation at a restaurant in Frascati for lunch. She recommended we try the Gnocchetti (Gnoccchi with porcini mushrooms and truffles) and the Tagliolini al Fettuccio (Spaghetti with cold beef and arugula with shaved parmesan cheese). She informed us that we would have Old Minardi Farmhouse wine to accompany our lunch. We purchased some wine before leaving. Each couple departed with four bottles to enjoy for the remainder of our holiday. Our travel partners also purchased a litre of olive oil to take home with them.
Marco drove us to Il Tettuccio Restaurant in Frascati. Marco took us inside where our table was reserved. The restaurant was full of locals. A bottle of red and white Old Minardi Farmhouse wine was brought to our table. The waiter then began bringing the food, a bread basket, charcuterie board, meat wrapped in warm mozzarella wrapped in wax paper like a Halloween kiss, ricotta cheese and pine nuts drizzled with honey I believe, a salad of cheese, grapes, arugula and balsamic vinegar. As if the appetizers at the farmhouse and everything listed above was not enough, the waiter then came to take our entree order. We indicated Dominique had recommended two of their specialties. We each received a plate with both of the pasta dishes Dominique recommended. It was an amazing culinary experience.
We walked back to the train station for our short train trip back to Rome. This tour was a fantastic way to start our holiday. I cannot say enough good things about Dominique, Umberto and The Old Minardi Farmhouse Wine Tour. This is one of those gems like your favourite fishing hole, that you want to keep to yourself, but there is nothing more that we would want, than to see Dominique and Umberto be successful with their wine tour. If you are looking for an authentic Italian Wine Tour, this is it. The value for the money paid was outstanding. I can’t wait to go back.

I can't say enough about this winery. Just a short ride from the business of Rome is this oasis of peacefulness and beauty. The wine is wonderful and the food that they pair with the wines is incredible. My family and I had a wonderful time on this tour and would recommend it to everyone.

My husband and I were married in May in Tuscany and have been touring around for a month. Our last stop was frascati. It is quite lovely and most impressive was the old frascati wine tour organized by Dominique and the tour given by the amazing Max. We had an absolutely fabulous tour and the food and wine and history was terrific. The whole experience is one we will remember and we would recommend this to anyone travelling to frascati or Rome, as it’s a quick train ride away. Very convenient and honestly a really authentic view of the area, people and food. Love!

It will be a pick up and drop from hotel or it will be only wine tasting tour? if it will be only wine tasting tour and pickup and drop not included then what is the price ?

Ciao CD! Pick up from your hotel in Rome is not included in the 'Classic Half-Day Wine Tour' which costs 55 euro a person. We usually suggest people take the train to Frascati from Rome which is fast and cheap... however we can also provide transportation to and from Rome by shuttle for about 55 euro/ 7seater van each way.
Thank you for your interest!
Grazie!
