Frascati Wine  – Castelli Romani Experience

Step away from the crowds of Rome and immerse yourself in the authentic lifestyle of the Roman countryside with this private Frascati wine tasting tour from Rome, set in the beautiful hills of the Castelli Romani.

Just outside the Eternal City lies a landscape Romans have cherished since antiquity — rolling vineyards, volcanic hills, olive groves, and charming villages where food, wine, and conviviality are part of everyday life. Especially in summer, this area becomes a natural retreat for locals seeking fresh air, great flavors, and a slower rhythm of life.

The Castelli Romani: Rome’s Beloved Countryside

The Castelli Romani are a collection of historic hill towns south of Rome, including Frascati, Ariccia, Genzano, and Albano Laziale, each famous for traditional recipes, local products, and panoramic views. These villages have long supplied Rome with wine, bread, porchetta, and fresh produce — a tradition that continues today.

Travel comfortably with private transportation from Rome, enjoying scenic countryside views as you leave the city behind and head into one of Lazio’s most beloved wine regions.

Visit Cantina Imperatori – Where Wine and Food Tell a Story

A highlight of the tour is a visit to our cantina, a family-run winery that represents the authentic soul of the Castelli Romani. Here, wine and food are deeply connected to the land, the seasons, and local identity. The winery’s philosophy is based on respect for nature, tradition, and sustainable viticulture, with vineyards rooted in the mineral-rich volcanic soil of the Alban Hills.

During your visit, you’ll enjoy a guided tasting of Frascati DOC wines and selected local labels, thoughtfully paired with traditional Lazio food specialties. Expect a relaxed and genuine atmosphere, where each wine is explained not just technically, but culturally — as part of daily Roman life.

Wine has always been central to Roman civilization. The ancient Romans loved wine, considering it a gift of the gods and an essential element of social life. Vineyards once covered these same hills, supplying wine to Roman homes, taverns, senators, and emperors. Wine was diluted, spiced, aged, celebrated, and shared — a symbol of pleasure, health, and community.

On this tour, you’ll experience how that ancient passion survives today. Sipping Frascati wine in the Castelli Romani means following in the footsteps of Romans who, for over two thousand years, escaped the city to these hills to enjoy nature, food, and good company.

This  half-day wine tour is designed for travellers who want more than a standard tasting. With personalized service, flexible timing, and expert local insight, you’ll experience the countryside the way Romans do — without rush, without crowds, and with genuine hospitality.
