The class was amazing from beginning to end. The train ride to Frascati was short and comfortable. Upon arrival, we met our tour guide (Jo, she was THE BEST). She took us on a short tour of Frascati and we headed to the winery. Here we had a lovely tour of the winery with the owner. The place has some amazing history and is truly beautiful. The cooking class was so much fun! The chef was so talented and charming. After he taught us to make two different types of pasta, he cooked it for us and it turned out to be the most amazing meal I had in Italy. Or maybe ever. Also included is generous tastings of their wines and lovely aperitives! I am so glad we did this class, it was by far our favorite experience while traveling.

Beautiful, picturesque location with gracious, friendly hosts. The wine was quite enjoyable, and we loved learning how to make a delicious, light pizza from an expert. It was honestly the tastiest pizza I’ve ever had. Fellow classmates were also fun and from all over the world. I would highly recommend this experience. It was the highlight of our vacation!

Fabulous hospitality from the first minute till the last, and there's no better way to experience the Roman countryside during a short break to this wonderful city.

My son agreed, reluctantly, to accompany me to a Pasta Making class with Francesca. Before the night was half over, I could tell he was having a great time🙂. Francesca made everything so simple to understand. I was always afraid to try it because I was convinced it would be difficult, but she made pasta making easy. We made three pastas - one I can't spell but it was teeny tiny strands of pasta, also fettuccine, and ricotta and spinach ravioli. She also helped us make Arrabiata sauce and Bolognese sauce. It was all as delicious as any pasta we've had at restaurants here in Roma! When we're here again, I'd like to take another class to learn even more techniques in Italian cooking from her. I've been cooking for almost my entire life, and I know my way around a kitchen, but I still learned some very useful things from her. Try one of her classes, you'll be happy at the end of the night getting to eat all the food you've prepared, with delicious wine she serves, and to top it all off nicely, delicious limoncello!

I went with my best friend to the tiramisu and pasta class. And it turned out we got very lucky. We went to the morning class, and had a private lesson! We met Lily, who was very nice and welcoming. She explained how to make every little thing, and assisted when needed. Definitely the greatest cooking class I ever took part in. We made two different pasta dishes, and tiramisu. Lily made sure we love all the ingredients, and asked us what we would like to add to the sauce and the filling of the ravioli. The food was really incredible and we finished the cooking class by eating in the very nice dining room. Lily plated our food, and served us wine - everything was great! If I could give more than five stars, I would!

Frascati is a little and cozy town, but keep their own style of life, wine, and food culture. It was so great time to have a look around the town with Alfredo’s guide. Also Minardi winery was so amazing!!! Alfredo family has very high quality technic of grape harvest, which is an ancient way, so the wine was really fruity, soft and good taste. Alfredo’s friend who is a chef made us a small food for the wine. We also had a great time with a pizza master, learnt how to make a dough with their secret way in Roman style pizza. He was really kind, and proud of himself. (He retired recently after pizza making about 35 years!!). We had so much fun with them, and I really want to recommend this class to all!! Don’t hesitate, then you will have a great experience! Thank you so much Alfredo and all!! :)

We traveled around Europe for 2 weeks on our honeymoon and this was our absolute favorite day! Jo was an amazing guide and Frascati is gorgeous! The wine and pizza were delicious (the best we had on our entire trip)! We had so much fun and loved getting away to the countryside with lovely hosts!

True Italian portions. We were able to try 2 different kinds of pasta, different types of breads and deliscious appetizers. The wine that came before lunch and during lunch was smooth and paired wonderfully with the food, the glasses were refilled generously and we even got to try some of the pizza the other half of the class had made. It was such a wonderful experience with the Minardi family and the other guests that were part of the group. I would definitely recommend and hope to do it again on another trip to Rome!
