About

A day trip out of Rome to discover the City of Wine and the Italian Pizza tradition!

You will catch the train in Rome Termini Station at 09:49 a.m. towards Frascati (this is a 25 minutes ride only!). Only on Saturdays, you will have to take the train from Rome Termini station at 10:14am directed to TOR VERGATA station (the main destination of this train is either Cassino or Frosinone, and you have to get off at Tor Vergata station after 17 minutes ride from Rome Termini station!

Once arrived at the station, a member of our family will welcome you, and you will be transferred to the Minardi Wine Farmhouse in less than 5 minutes!

As soon as you arrive at the farmhouse,
We will meet our Pizza Maestro, and you will enjoy a fun pizza making class in a special place, directly at the farmhouse!
Our local Pizza Master will teach you how to prepare the traditional Roman pizza, including traditional toppings and the secrets to prepare the perfect dough!

After the class will take you on a tour across the old vineyards, which we still take care of with the same old farming techniques the family has been adopting for centuries. Travel into the past of the wine-making, listening to the stories and experiences of a passionate family of this historic land.

We will then lead you to visit the old wine cellar of the historic winery, where we will introduce you to the secrets and the historic wine-making processes of the famous Frascati wine. The Minardi Historic Farmhouse is now a sort of "Frascati Wine Museum" surrounded by ancient vineyards and olive groves.

Time to taste the famous Frascati Wine! We will guide you through a tasting of the three wines of the family production, the famous Frascati Superiore DOCG white wine, the Vagnolo IGT red wine, as well as the Frascati DOC White Wine. All of the wines will be paired with food matching also including
the Minardi Family’s own Extra Virgin Olive Oil.

You will finally enjoy the lunch consisting of several appetizers prepared by the chef (local cheeses, selected cold Meats, seasonal vegetables)plus the Pizzas that you will roll down and top directly! Frascati Wine, water, ..and a tasting of gourmet wine ice-cream!
The farmhouse also likes the final musical surprise!

At the end of the experience, we will accompany you in Frascati, where you will be able to take the train back to Rome (there is one train every hour).

We promise you that this will be a one-of-a-kind experience on the charming hills surrounding the Eternal City!

"Fun and delicious!"

The experience was a great time. Both Nicolo and Alfredo were excellent hosts and made it both informative and fun. The pasta maestro was very knowledgeable, and we learned a lot. The property is beautiful, and the cave is very cool. They were very accommodating with vegan options and ended the class with music which was a lot of fun. Would highly recommend it.

"Fantastic Experience"

You will definitely learn how to make pizza (the right-crunchy-delicious-italian-way), but the experience is beyond the cooking. From Paola (who hosted us throughout), to the chef, to the ladies helping in the kitchen... it was a great experience overall! We went with one 14 year old, two 15 year olds, and one 18 year old and everyone had a good time.

"Fantastic!!"

This was such a great class - our whole group had a blast! From learning to make authentic pizza, tasting the amazing wine and enjoying the company of the family who owns the winery - we couldn’t recommend this experience more!

"Great class, food and wine!"

Nice break from the crowds and heat of Rome. Loved seeing the vineyard, farmhouse and wine cave. We learned a lot about the art of making pizza dough - made several variations of pizza. Really enjoyed the experience and would highly recommend for anyone looking to do something just a short train ride out of the city.

"Superb"

The hosts are so nice and the class was really educative Thank you so much
