Agriturismo Antico Casale Minardi In Frascati

We had the BEST time here!! The wine, the cooking instructions, and our tour group (Italians on a birthday trip tons of fun, they even sang some John Denver for us Americans). It was really nice getting to the outskirts of Rome and doing something different.

We had the most wonderful time at the Minardi Vinyard. Nico our guide was brilliant, the wine was wonderful and the whole experience was so thoughtfully put together that we all really had the best day. And thank you to Alfredo for all your help with supporting us getting to Frascati with the train strikes - you couldn’t have been more helpful!

My mother and I thoroughly enjoyed the pasta making class and wine tasting. The experience was well worth the pleasant 18-minute train ride from Termini. For less than 80 euros per person we learned how to make 3 kinds of pasta, had an educational tasting session of the small batch wines produced from this 9th generation family vineyard, toured the small vineyards and took in the lovely panoramic views, explored the natural volcanic cellar, ate an incredible lunch with wine, antipasti, and chef-prepared sauces to supplement our freshly made pastas - and then were treated to live music from Alfredo (a Minardi family member). Our chef Annamaria was delightful and quick to help anyone who needed it with the pasta making, and translator / sommelier Michelle was very knowledgeable. This is great hands-on experience for almost any age. Our group ranged from a family with an 11-year-old girl to a group of college students to young couples to middle-aged and older couples and everyone seemed to thoroughly enjoy it. It’s fine if you don’t drink wine - the pasta class is the highlight and they offer juice and water as an alternative. Excellent value for money and a delightful easy day trip from Rome.

A wonderful day filled with pasta, wine, stories and songs. You do not want to miss this tour and winery.

We did the pasta maker, winery tour and lunch. It was a great experience. Pasta class was fun, food and wine was delicious too.The people who works there are very welcoming and friendly. Really recommended.

It was absolutely wonderful! The family and the whole experience was top notch and they made you feel like you were family.

Pasta making class and wine tasting plus all the food was an amazing experience. The beautiful home and vineyard and history of the estate. We had two Italian chefs teach us, one in Italian and one who translated to English. The hands-on demonstration was so detailed. We had a sing along after where we enjoyed our meal together and their delicious wine. Enjoyed a beautiful day inside and out where we met so many new friends. This is a must on your visit to Italy! Wish we had done it earlier in our visit.

It was the best experience I had in Italy. I am deeply grateful to Chef Maria and English translator Michelle for teaching me how to make pasta in such a gentle and careful way, and with jokes. It taught me to enjoy life ^ ^ It was a wonderful half-day that I would love to visit again. thank you very much!

Highly recommend, very fun and homey atmosphere😁

The reviews are completely true! This was by far the best part of our trip! Amazing welcoming hosts, great food & views- highly recommend !
