Best tour! - This is a must book! Not only for the experience, but because it’s so homey and started our trip off on the right foot. Everyone there is warm and welcoming, you feel like family. Nico was our tour guide and was outstanding! You won’t be disappointed. Book the tour!

Great date night - The class was fun and interactive. Chef Mimi kept everyone engaged and gave us a few lessons in speaking Italian. Overall I enjoyed the class and would definitely do it again.

Highlight of our Italian Vacation - What an amazing experience! My girlfriend (now fiancée) and I woke up the morning of our tour and were so tired, we debated just staying in bed and not going. So glad we did. The vineyard, garden, building, the view, the people were all so incredible. A very nice refresher from the hustle-bustle of Rome. The host, Nico, is such an awesome guy. Knowledgeable and entertaining. He even helped to arrange my proposal to my fiancée. Very special. I can’t express enough how much we enjoyed this experience.

Beautiful experience! - Our visit to the Minardi winery was beautiful! The pasta cooking class was a lot of fun and our homemade pasta tasted great. The tour of the winery was very interesting. We also really liked the family atmosphere and singing together after lunch. Many thanks to Nicolò!

A winery/vineyard in name only and a fun experience making pasta - A winery/vineyard in name only and a fun experience making pasta. There's no doubt that this property was once a working winery, but not so today. If you're looking for a wine experience (FYI, they only make two and not on site), and to indulge in something beyond stereotypes, then perhaps look elsewhere. To be fair, though, this place was fun. Just don't think about it too much. Take the time to wander around central Frascati afterward.
