After the class 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 taste the famous Frascati Wine! We will guide you through a 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 DOC White Wine. All of the wines will be paired with food matching also including
the Minardi Family’s own Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
You will finally enjoy the lunch consisting of several appetizers prepared by the chef (local cheeses, selected cold Meats, seasonal vegetables)plus the Pizzas that you will roll down and top directly! Frascati Wine, water, ..and a tasting of gourmet wine ice-cream!
The farmhouse also likes the final musical surprise!
At the end of the experience, we will accompany you in Frascati, where you will be able to take the train back to Rome (there is one train every hour).
