Take a sip of history on Rome's first wine tasting tour that transports you out of the bustle of the city and into a haven encircled by the vineyards and olive groves of the Frascati region.
Amble along 200 acres of vines surrounding 17th century architecture, treasures of one of Italy's oldest and most distinguished noble families, the Pallavicini.
Feel the cool humidity of the 3rd century caverns lined with Acacia and French Oak barriques filled with wines aging to perfection.
Our expert guide will show you Roman history through the lens of a glass of vino.
