Make fresh Roman pasta, taste family wines, and explore a 15th-century cellar in Frascati, a short train ride from Rome.

“Incredible experience, worth every penny and more! Our guide was so kind and funny, she made us feel right at home and was so passionate and enthusiastic. We learnt so much about Frascati and her family’s history as well as the invaluable skill of pasta making! I thought I knew how to make pasta but this changed the game! The bowl of pasta was HUGE, we tried two wines and we paid 5€ for an extra glass of the delicious red and bought a bottle to take home! Cannot recommend enough.”

Definitely will recommend to friends and family!”
