Your Journey at a Glance

1. Seamless Private Departure Your experience begins with a luxury pick-up directly from your hotel in Rome. Leave the city behind as your private driver escorts you into the rolling hills and craters of the ancient Lazio volcano, where the mineral-rich soil produces some of Italy's most celebrated white and red wines.

2. A 300-Year-Old Winemaking Legacy Upon arrival at a prestigious, family-run estate, you will be welcomed by the winemakers themselves. This historic winery has been passed down through 13 generations, blending centuries-old traditions with modern excellence. You’ll explore the lush vineyards and the cool, atmospheric cellars where the wine ages to perfection.

3. Guided Private Tasting Deepen your knowledge of Italian viticulture as you sample a selection of award-winning estate wines. From the crisp, mineral notes of a Frascati Superiore DOCG to robust regional reds, you will learn to identify the unique characteristics imparted by the volcanic terroir.

4. An Authentic Countryside Lunch The highlight of the tour is a leisurely, multi-course lunch served in a charming setting overlooking the vineyards. Indulge in traditional recipes prepared with fresh, local ingredients:

• Handmade pasta or regional specialties.
