If you’re looking for an authentic Italian experience, this Frascati pasta making and wine tasting tour is absolutely worth it. The charming small town atmosphere, beautiful streets, and peaceful setting made for a wonderful escape from the crowds of Rome, but what truly made this a 5 star experience was the incredible family who hosted us. Their warmth, friendliness, and genuine hospitality made us feel like welcomed guests rather than tourists. Learning to make fresh pasta by hand while tasting excellent local wines was both fun and memorable, and the entire experience was relaxed, engaging, and perfect for all ages. We wholeheartedly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the Rome area. it’s a fantastic experience for the entire family.

This was a great tour! The city of Frascati is beautiful and the class was so much fun with great food and wine. Our guide and teacher for the class was very personable, knowledgeable, and great at guiding us through the pasta making and info about the history of the town. Very fun and we learned about riding the local trains.
