Nestled in the Castelli Romani hills, Frascati is a charming historic town just 21 km southeast of Rome, known for its renowned wines since ancient Roman times. A popular day trip destination, it’s a mere 45-minute drive from the city. Our Full-Day Food, Wine, and Sightseeing Tour offers an unforgettable journey through the picturesque hill towns surrounding the Albano and Nemi Lakes, accompanied by a private driver-guide and comfortable air-conditioned vehicle.

Your day begins with a pick-up from your accommodation in Rome, where you’ll relax on a scenic drive to Frascati. Upon arrival, your guide will lead you through the vineyards that have produced the famed Frascati wine for centuries, providing fascinating insights into the wine, olive oil, and grape production while you take in breathtaking views of the countryside.

The first stop on the tour is Castel Gandolfo, a stunning 13th-century castle that served as the Papal Summer Residence for centuries. Enjoy the spectacular views over Lake Albano and explore the historic surroundings.

Next, visit the medieval town of Nemi, where you’ll experience the charm of narrow streets and vibrant local culture. At a scenic belvedere point, you’ll gaze out over the tranquil waters of the lake, once the site of grand Roman naval battles. Nemi is also renowned for its wild strawberries, or "Fragoline di Bosco", smaller and sweeter than the typical berry, which you’ll have the chance to sample at the local production gardens.

For lunch, enjoy a delicious meal at a traditional local farm, where you’ll savor authentic Roman dishes, including the famed porchetta—a deliciously seasoned roasted pork—along with local wines and other regional specialties. The relaxed and scenic atmosphere offers the perfect setting for this unforgettable culinary experience.

After a full day of exploration, food, and wine, you’ll be driven back to your accommodation in Rome, having discovered the rich history and flavors of the Roman countryside. We can’t wait to share the treasures of this beautiful region with you!
