What you'll see and do
Minardi Winery - Frascati
We will enjoy our family's ancient Wine Farmhouse, located in the valleys of the Frascati Wine, only 7 minutes distant from the town of Frascati. Here our Minardi family has cultivated vineyards and olive trees for nine generations, and produced jug wine directly in the old cellar. Our farmhouse is now a sort of "Frascati Wine Museum" surrounded by vineyards and olive groves, where we spread the culture of local good wines and good food. We will have a guided visit and tasting of our 3 Boutique Wines and EVO Oil, along with a traditional LUNCH at the farmhouse! At the end of the experience, we will drive you back in town where you will take the return train from the city center to Rome! Get ready to relax and have fun! Instagram: minardiwinery

A must do for those interested in wine!
Every detail about our tour was well thought out and planned and exceeded expectations! Our tour guide was personable, knowledgeable, funny and very hospitable. The tour of the town was interesting and a nice change from the city of Rome. We stopped and had wine in a local tavern and then shuttled to the vineyards, where we got to speak with the 8th generation winemaker. The olive oil and wine were delicious, topped off with a home made lunch. We had a dietary restriction in our party and they were very accommodating. I have been to many wineries in and outside the US and this will be one I’ll never forget. If you are thinking about doing this tour, think no further and book it now!!
Response from the operator: Aw Thank you very much! This is very kind of you! Cheers to you.. And wishing you a life always full of great wines! ;-)

This is How to Spend an Afternoon near Rome.
My friend and I were ready to get out of the crowds in Rome for a bit, and this was the perfect answer. Frascati is a short train trip from Termini station, and the train slowly climbs into the hills. We arrived early in Frascati to tour the town, and enjoyed the town square, shops, and restaurants. It was a Saturday so there was also a Farmers Market. We returned after the tour because we felt there was more to see. A quick walk back to the train station to meet up with Paola and Tony, who drove us to the Minardi Winery. We started with a wine and olive oil tasting outside with our small group of 10, a tour of the vineyard where we heard about the history of the winery and tasted 3 types of grapes still on the vines after harvest, all with an overview of Rome. It felt leisurely and relaxing. We moved indoors for a look at the wine caves, ate a delicious lunch with another wine, accompanied by music from Tony. Paola and Tony were informative and fun. We can readily recommend this tour.

Special Frascati Experience
We all loved this tour of Minardi Winery. We got picked up in town and whisked away to the vineyard, just a few minutes away. Our guides were friendly and informative as we were slowly immersed into the Minardi family way of life. Lots of great wine to taste. The food was excellent and we appreciated the vegetarian options. The singing and dancing at the end of the day capped off a fantastic time.

Response from the operator: Thank you very much! We had a great time! Cheers :-)

Delightful Wine Tasting Experience
What a great experience it was to visit the Minardi Winery! Our tour guide, Michelle was a wealth of knowledge, both about the winery and about the wine industry in general. The four wines offered for tasting were of superior quality and the generous pours were impressive. After the initial tasting, we were served lunch that included two courses. Both were a lovely variety of Italian cuisines and also quite delicious. This was my second visit to the Minardi Winery and it was even more enjoyable than the first time six years ago. Definitely well worth the time and money!
Response from the operator: Thank you my dear! It was great to have you at the farmhouse after 6 years.. wow! So for your third visit we will give you a special wine gift... ;-) Thanks again! Cheers!

Why this scores 64
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Small Group Minardi Winery Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rome.
How much does Small Group Minardi Winery Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $15 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 Small Group Minardi Winery Tour take?
+
Plan for about 3 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 Small Group Minardi Winery Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Rome, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Small Group Minardi Winery Tour?
+
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 Small Group Minardi Winery Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Small Group Minardi Winery Tour?
+
Around 2 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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Small Group Minardi Winery Tour 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 Pasta and Tiramisu Class: Ravioli, Fettuccine & Fine Wine 5*, Pasta Making & Wine Tasting with Dinner in Frascati from Rome, Rome: Pizza & Tiramisu or Gelato Class with Flowing 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.
