Day 1: Visit the Vineyard, taste the local wine
After meeting the guide who will accompany you for the duration of your journey, starting from the 'meeting point, our shuttle will take you to an ancient estate in Frascati.
Here you will have the unique opportunity to ride inside the estate vineyard while hearing interesting anecdotes about the production of the area's flagship product: wine!
The estate with its dominant hilltop position offers spectacular views of Rome and the surrounding hills. It also houses a historic mansion, a postmodern national monument that retains the charm of an important noble residence.
At the end of the tour you will then be pampered with a tasting of local wines and samples produced by the farm.
Dinner will undoubtedly be the perfect finale to this day of discovering the authentic flavors of the area.
INCLUDED MEALS: Dinner
Day 2: The Pearl of the Castles
The second day will be devoted to the history and beauty of Frascati.
This little pearl of the Castelli was the summer residence of many popes, cardinals and nobles, who built splendid villas here, such as Villa Aldobrandini.
A stop on the Grand Tour, visited by internationally renowned travelers and artists, Frascati still retains the charm of its history dating back to before the 'vassal era, when it was a fief of the Church after the destruction of Tusculum by the Romans. And right here we will arrive to photograph a breathtaking view of Rome and visit the archaeological park.
The shuttle will be waiting for you with your luggage to return to Rome immediately after lunch.
