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 (table below). ## Overview Discover all the best Frascati has to offer from its charming city center, beautiful views and vineyards, an historic family-run winery, and fresh local cuisine. This half-day tour from Rome will stimulate your senses and rejuvenate your spirit. Frascati is an easy 25 minute train ride from Rome and is part of the Castelli Romani or ‘Roman Castles. Things move at a slower pace in Frascati. Nowhere is this fact better represented than in the the way food is produced and prepared. Porchetta is cooked in a wood burning oven for over 8 hours. The olive oil is extra virgin and cold pressed. The pasta is all hand-made. Our wine is still made with ancient techniques first used by the Romans. Here, the local baker, winemaker, tavern owner, and restaurant owner all value organic and locally sourced products. Not because its trendy, but because it’s tradition! ## Before you book - Meeting point: The meeting point and time will depend… - Food included: see what is included - Wheelchair accessible: operator-marked - Strollers OK: infants accepted - Children from €70: ages 3 to 12 **Pickup:** No hotel pickup: everyone meets at the start point ## Key facts - Price: from €90 per person - Duration: 5h - Rating: 4.76/5 from 170 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Operator: Old Frascati Food & Wine - Group: Shared tour - Guide languages: English - Booking: mobile ticket - Price checked on Viator: 2026-09-12 ## Reviews 4.76 from 170 ratings on Guidekin, Viator & Tripadvisor. 94% of ratings with a star breakdown are 4 or 5 stars: 160 of 170. - 5 stars: 148 (87%) - 4 stars: 12 (7%) - 3 stars: 4 (2%) - 2 stars: 4 (2%) - 1 star: 2 (1%) ### What reviewers say Reviewers praise the hosts' wine knowledge and local food, though some want less talking and more tasting at the winery. **Praised:** - Welcoming hosts explain winemaking and teach practical wine tasting skills - Vineyard walks and visits to the underground wine caves - Local wines, porchetta and generous lunches - Local guides explain Frascati's history and food traditions - A relaxed break from Rome with time to talk to fellow travellers **Complaints:** - Lengthy winery talks involve a lot of standing and less tasting than some expected - Some enjoy the town walk, while others find it too brief or poorly led - Some praise the lunch, while others find the menu or food disappointing Written by Guidekin from the 100 most recent English reviews on Viator & Tripadvisor (2024-09-23 to 2026-09-30); last checked 2026-10-03. ## What's included - Membership Card with Old Frascati Food & Wine - A Cultural Association - Local specialties like wine cookies & jug wine at the historic bakery in the center of town.
