DINNER ALLA FRESCO!
DINNER ALLA FRESCO!
Dinner will be enjoyed outside in a historic piazza in the center of Frascati.
Enjoy your feast of local delicacies outside in charming piazza San Rocco in Frascati. Your guide will help prepare your picnic style dinner and serve everyone both the DOCG Frascati Superiore from the winery as well as the local house white wine which is light and refreshing.
The cool breeze makes this spot a favourite with locals and the picnic tables around you will soon fill up with the merry sounds of Italians singing and laughing and drinking outside.
Savour the experience of eating just like the locals around you in the piazza.
After dinner, the train station is just a 5 minute walk from the piazza and the train returns to Rome at 9:36 PM.
*Please note that the sun sets at a different time throughout the year. During the middle of the summer the sun will not set until about 9PM, and therefore the sunset will not be visible at the winery.
