Description
Begin your journey with a private pickup from your hotel in central Rome. Relax in a climate-controlled vehicle as you leave the city behind and head into the sun-drenched hills of the Castelli Romani.
Arrive at the breathtaking Casale Marchese estate and be welcomed by your expert English-speaking guide. Marvel at the estate’s 14th-century architecture and learn about its origins, built along an ancient Roman road and once owned by noble papal families.
Take a guided walk through the expansive estate vineyards. Learn about native grape varieties such as Malvasia del Lazio and Trebbiano, the volcanic soil that grants Frascati wines their distinct mineral finish, and the meticulous, sustainable farming practices used today.
Go behind the scenes into the estate's historic canteens and modern production areas. Discover how centuries of winemaking heritage seamlessly blend with cutting-edge techniques to produce modern, highly acclaimed Frascati DOCG wines.
Conclude your tour with a relaxed, sommelier-guided tasting in the estate's charming tasting room or panoramic terrace. Taste three estate wines: Frascati DOCG Superiore, IGT Red Wine, and Dessert Wine.
Your wines will be paired with an abundant board of freshly baked artisanal bread, traditional panzanella romanesca (seasoned tomato bread salad), fine cured meats, aged cheeses, world-famous Roman porchetta (slow-roasted savory pork), and a selection of local sweet pastries.
Board your private transport once more for a smooth, comfortable drive back to your hotel in central Rome.
