What you'll see and do

  1. Minardi Winery - Frascati

    We will have fun by cooking fresh Pasta from scratch in a unique context: my family's 17th century family-run wine farmhouse, located in Frascati's vineyards (only 24 minutes train ride from Rome!). We will also enjoy a guided Wine Tour of our vineyard and farmhouse (a sort of wine museum now, no modern winemaking there) and have a Wine tasting of our nr. 3 family Wines, along with the lunch that will include the pasta varieties prepared by you, the tasty appetizers and the local sweets! We will meet in Frascati station and we will go to my family farmhouse (only 5 minutes drive) to discover a special place.. Me and my family team, also made of a pro Chef, will teach you how to prepare nr.2 of the traditional pasta recipes, including “Ravioli” and “Fettuccine“, as well as some of the secrets of the local culinary tradition! I will also provide you with our Pasta recipes! At the end of the experience we will accompany you back in Frascati station, to go back to Roma Termini station!

Perfect day

This was the best day we had while visiting Rome. Communication was clear, pick up directions easy and the day exceeded our expectations. The day was fun and they included our 8 year old in everything. The location is beautiful, food was amazing and some nice surprises along the way. Highly recommend this!

Not to be missed!

This was one of the best tours we have ever been on. Highly recommended, great pasta making, great food and excellent wine tasting. Nick was such a great guide and the views were stunning at the vineyard!

Amazing Experience

Amazing experience. All the staff are super friendly. We had an awesome day seeing the vineyard, tasting the wine, learning how to cook pasta with the chef. She made it very simple and easy to follow. The chef then used our pasta to make us a delicious 3 course meal. The service to and from the train station is so good for those staying in Rome. Saves lots of cash on taxis. Frascati train station is really small so it’s easy to navigate.

The kind of experience you hope to find when you travel - not just a pasta making class! This is so much more

Absolutely amazing experience. Could not fault it. The communication was excellent prior and allowed us a very easy 20 min transfer out of Rome to another world. I travelled solo but spent the day amongst new friends. Nico and Anna-Marie are two incredible people who make pasta making easy, wine tasting atmospheric and eating a delight. Add the experience of a serenade and opportunity to just enjoy a long lunch…one of my best excursions ever. Do it! Thanks Mindari. You have something very special here.

Great experience!

The pasta making class was so great! And our guide, Paula, was the best! The chef was also amazing! They were so good with our kids and the food was amazing. We also enjoyed interacting with the others in the class. I highly recommend Minardi Winery’s wine and classes!

Pasta Masterclass and Wine Tour in the Minardi Vineyard: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rome.

How much does Pasta Masterclass and Wine Tour in the Minardi Vineyard cost?

+

Prices start at €64 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Rome usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

How long does Pasta Masterclass and Wine Tour in the Minardi Vineyard take?

+

Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Rome is not rushed.

Is Pasta Masterclass and Wine Tour in the Minardi Vineyard worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 81 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 77 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Rome, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule Pasta Masterclass and Wine Tour in the Minardi Vineyard?

+

Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

Is Pasta Masterclass and Wine Tour in the Minardi Vineyard suitable for kids and families?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 6. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 4-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book Pasta Masterclass and Wine Tour in the Minardi Vineyard?

+

Around 27 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Rome can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

What should I bring or wear?

+

Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Rome and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Pasta Masterclass and Wine Tour in the Minardi Vineyard start and how do I get there?

+

The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Rome within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

What are the best things to do in Rome?

+

Rome runs on skip-the-line access. The Colosseum underground, the Vatican before opening, and the catacombs south of the walls all require a licensed operator, and the price gap between the good ones and the rest is smaller than you would expect. We rank by guide credentials, group size and how reliably the promised access actually materialises. On Outty we rank every Rome experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Rome Pizza & Gelato Class with Wine by Cooking Italy, Rome [4in1] Pasta Making_Tiramisù_Wine Tasting_Secret Cellar, Rome Pasta and Tiramisu Class: Ravioli, Fettuccine & Fine Wine 5*. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

When is the best time to visit Rome?

+

April, May, September and October. August is hot and half the city is shut. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

How many days do you need in Rome?

+

Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

+

Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

What is included in Pasta Masterclass and Wine Tour in the Minardi Vineyard?

+

Included: Alcoholic beverages; Internal transfers from Frascati to the farmhouse and back; Visit of old cellar and vineyard; Lunch; and Pasta Masterclass. Not included: train tickets from Roma termini station to Frascati station - eur 2. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

Where is the meeting point for Pasta Masterclass and Wine Tour in the Minardi Vineyard?

+

In order to reach the Meeting, we suggest you to take the Train at 9:49am from Roma Termini Station directed to FRASCATI station. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
