Guidekin's take

A half day in Frascati that eats its way through town: wine cookies and jug wine at the historic bakery, porchetta sandwiches, a family run winery with three boutique wines and a long lunch of cheeses, salumi and fresh pasta.

Everything but the cheap local train ticket is included at €90 per person. Wheelchair accessible, and the pace is deliberately slow.

In our comparison: #48 of 75 in Day Trips from Rome, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
