The Pizza Masterclass and Wine Tour
As soon as you arrive at the farmhouse, you will enjoy a special Masterclass divided in two parts – First part: How to prepare the perfect Italian dough – Second part: How to roll down, top and bake the special roman pizza!
After a nice wine toast and olive oil tasting in between the two parts of the class, we will take you on a tour across the old vineyards, which we still take care of with the same old farming techniques the family has been adopting for centuries. Travel into the past of the wine-making, listening to the stories and experiences of a passionate family of this historic land.
We will then lead you to visit the old wine cellar of the historic winery, where we will introduce you to the secrets and the historic wine-making processes of the famous Frascati wine. The Minardi Historic Farmhouse is now a sort of “Frascati Wine Museum” surrounded by ancient vineyards and olive groves.
Time to eat and drink…
You will finally enjoy the lunch at the farmhouse consisting of several tasty appetizers prepared by the Chef, plus the Pizzas that you will prepare during the Class… with Frascati Wine, water..and Frascati Special sweets!
Along with the lunch, you will enjoy a generous tasting of the three wines of the family production, the famous Frascati Superiore DOCG white wine, the Vagnolo IGT red wine, as well as the Frascati Cannellino DOCG sweet Wine.
At the end of the lunch we will accompany you in Frascati, where you will be able to take the train back to Rome (there is one train every hour until 22:36, except on the weekends where the last train is one hour earlier).
We promise you that this will be a one of a kind experience on the charming hills surrounding the Eternal City!
