Top 6 Farm-to-Table Meals in Italy

1.Half-Day Frascati Wine Tour with Farmhouse Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 372 reviews · 4 hours · from $99Our pick

Meet your English-speaking guide at Frascati station, just 20 minutes from Rome. Walk the historic center, taste wine with a local snack, then visit a ninth-generation family farmhouse for cellar stories, three wines, EVO oil, and a chef-prepared lunch. Guides may include Nico, Paola, Michelle, or Stefania.

“Honestly this was so incredible and exceeded any expectations I had! I was assuming the wine sampling would be just that but was surprised to be given many full glasses of lovely very tasty wine. The tour of frascati was fab too and then of the winery. Certainly worth while doing. The only thing I’d say, the train connection back wasn’t the best, that was our fault though as we stayed to see more of frascati and then traveled back at rush hour. What should have been a 30-40 minute journey to trastevere on the train took 1hr40.”

The experience to help prepare such a fresh and delicious meal was so fun. The wine was absolutely amazing-so much so that we bought bottles to ship back home. The warmth and kindness that the owners showed to my and my family was something we will never forget! Definitely the highlight of our Italy trip!”
