Itinerary
Your tour begins at Via Frascati Colonna 35
Arrive at Cantine Santa Benedetta in Monte Porzio Catone, 40 minutes from Rome, and step into an estate framed by vineyards and olive groves that have shaped this hillside for over 3,000 years.
Stroll through the estate vineyards
Walk the vine rows and olive groves with your host, who explains the sustainable farming methods behind every bottle. The Castelli Romani hills stretch out around you, offering sweeping views toward Rome below.
Discover the terroir of Castelli Romani
Your sommelier or host explains how the volcanic soil and microclimate of these slopes give the estate's wines their distinctive character. It's the kind of context that transforms every sip that follows.
Step inside the 18th-century tasting rooms
Enter rooms preserved since the 1700s, decorated with family heirlooms, antique tools, and frescoed walls. Settle at your private table, where the atmosphere alone signals that this is something different.

This trip outside the city was an assault on the senses: rolling hills, vineyards and more. Every wine tasting, you had to leave the last one behind. Would urge as a 'gorgeous' and 'delicious' drink!
