Castelli Romani Private Excursion

At 9:30 am, we'll meet at the Frascati train station and proceed by car to our first destination, Castel Gandolfo, located 20 minutes away.

Upon arrival, we will conduct a sightseeing tour of Castel Gandolfo, viewing the exterior of the Pope's summer residence and discussing its history, including Alexander VII's vacations there and the contributions of sculptor Gian Lorenzo Bernini.

We will then travel around Lake Albano to reach Nemi, one of the smallest villages in the region, known for its scenic views. Next, we will head to Rocca di Papa to view the facade of a 12th-century castle and learn about its history as a town that survived World War II.

The final stop will be in Frascati, where we will explore the historic center and visit a winery for a tasting of the local white wine, paired with a typical Italian aperitif. The tasting will include an explanation of the volcanic soils and their influence on local viticulture.

The tour will conclude back at the starting point by 12:30 pm.
