In the Roman Castles: where wine meets history

Emperors, aristocrats and popes all chose to build their summer residences in this idyllic location, surrounded by lakes, volcanoes and vineyards. The area known as Roman Castles is full of wonders: archaeological sites, palaces, churches, nymphaea, noble villas and papal fortresses. A picturesque setting framed by vines and century-old trees. Escape the hustle and bustle of Rome in a vintage Fiat 500 and let your driver take you along the Appian Way, the most iconic Roman road. In a park with millennial roots, discover the catacombs and villas designed to celebrate the emperors. Admire the towns, the mansions with their Italian-style gardens and the breathtaking views of the Eternal City. Head down to Castel Gandolfo, the pope's summer residence, where you can admire a breathtaking view of Lake Albano, a small volcanic crater lake. Then, head to Frascati, where you can immerse yourself in the magic of the landscape, starting with its fruits. Enjoy a private tour of a winery that produces white wine loved for generations by nobles and farmers. This sensory journey is an opportunity to truly understand the techniques of Frascati wine, which you can enjoy paired with cold cuts, cheeses and bruschettas with extra virgin olive oil. End your day trip with an ice cream or a classic Italian coffee and return to the capital bathed in the colors of the sunset.
