Here is what's in store for you
Upon arriving in Frascati, a member of the Minardi family will warmly welcome you. A transfer will take you to the Minardi Wine Farmhouse, just a 5-minute drive from the station, where the experience begins with an engaging pasta-making class led by an expert chef.
Once you've donned your apron, the chef will guide you in creating three traditional local pasta varieties from scratch: “Ravioli” stuffed with fresh local ingredients, “Fettuccine,” and “Maltagliati.” You'll also learn secrets and tips passed down through generations, including recipes from the chef’s grandmother.
After the class, enjoy a guided tasting of boutique wines from the Minardi winery, including Frascati Superiore DOCG white wine and Vagnolo IGP red wine, made from 100% Cesanese grapes. These wines will be paired with the family’s Extra Virgin Olive Oil, local cheese, and wine jam. Following the tasting, take a tour of the historic vineyards, where you’ll discover traditional winemaking techniques the Minardi family has preserved for centuries. The farmhouse now serves as a “Frascati Wine Museum,” surrounded by ancient vineyards and olive groves.
A delicious lunch prepared by the chef will include various local seasonal appetizers and the three pastas made during the class. The meal will also feature an artisanal Frascati dessert, white wine, and water. Vegetarian, vegan, or gluten-free options are available upon request when booking.
At the end of the experience, a transfer will bring you back to the Frascati center, where you can catch the train back to Rome (with departures every hour). This experience at Minardi Winery promises to be a unique and memorable one, set in the charming hills surrounding the Eternal City!

Una hermosa forma de pasar el día alejado de Roma, sintiendo la cultura italiana de primera mano (y con las manos en la masa!)
Todos muy amables y muy atentos, el amasado de pastas con su explicación. El recorrido por el viñedo, la degustación de vinos (muy generosos). Nos convidaron también higos recién cosechados (muy lindo detalle). Y vino alguien a cantar al finalizar la comida. Un muy lindo plan ya sea para ir solo o acompañado.
La comida muy completa, además de las pastas amasadas sirvieron más cosas.
Hubiera estado lindo que nos compartan luego la receta de cómo hacer la pasta, más allá de la explicación en el momento.
Las salsas que acompañaron la pasta podrían haber sido más sabrosas y especiales. Durante la clase mencionó cosas como hongos o salvia que luego no estaban en la salsa.
