Welcome in Frascati!
There will be a transfer waiting to get you to the Minardi Winery in less than 5 minutes.
Once arrived in this panoramic location amongst the vineyards, the farmhouse Chef will teach you how to prepare from scratch some of the traditional local pasta varieties, including “Fettuccine ”, "Ravioli" and “Maltagliati“, as well as some of the secrets of the local culinary tradition handed down by our Grandma.
After the class, you will enjoy a Wine tasting of the farmhouse boutique wines and olive oil.
You will taste three wines of the family production: the famous Frascati Superiore white wine, the Vagnolo IGP red wine, and a very typical product of this land, the sweet Cannellino wine.
You will meet the wine farmhouse family team, who will take you on a tour across the old vineyards, which he still takes care of with the same old farming techniques the family has been adopting for centuries. Travel into the past of the winemaking, listening to the stories and experiences of passionates of this historic land.
You will visit the old cellar, where he will introduce you to the secrets and the old processes of the winemaking of the famous Frascati wine.
