Wine Tasting in Rome

The Best Wineries Just a Step Away from the Capital, Between Castelli Romani and Frascati

A few kilometers from Rome lies one of Italy's most accessible wine regions, the Castelli Romani, where fresh whites from Malvasia and Trebbiano grapes are paired with a popular culinary tradition featuring fraschette, porchetta, and Lazio cuisine. This selection gathers the best wineries easily reachable from the Capital, many with historic cellars carved into volcanic tuff, in villages like Frascati, Marino, and Castel Gandolfo. It's a perfect experience for those living in or visiting Rome who are looking for a short getaway without the need for extensive travel planning: you can easily combine a morning tasting with an afternoon visit to one of the Castelli villages, or pair it with a typical Roman-Lazio lunch. Book your experience at the same price as the winery.
