Rome
Looking for wineries near Rome? This guide brings together visits around Frascati, the Appian Way, Via di Fioranello and northern Rome, from family-run estates to rural dining spots.
Compare the kind of experience you want—guided tasting, vineyard tour, cooking class or a food pairing—then check the route, language support and booking arrangements before leaving the city.
Options are ordered by the practical fit of the visit: the experience offered, proximity to Rome’s different areas, food or vineyard elements, language support, and how clearly a booking can be arranged. Route notes matter when an estate sits outside the city centre. Some eligible businesses may purchase enhanced visibility, which can influence their placement.

Map and areas
Use the map to see how far a countryside visit may take you from central Rome. Frascati and Zagarolo suit a dedicated half-day, while the Appian Way and Via di Fioranello keep wine experiences within the wider Rome area.
If you are visiting Antica Tellenae, check the approach carefully because the address includes a warning not to use Via di Fioranello.
Not all of them are in central Rome. The closest-feeling options include the Appian Way and southern Rome, while Frascati and Zagarolo offer a more rural outing outside the centre.
Northern Rome’s Via Formellese adds another direction, so choose by the route that fits your day.
Yes, booking ahead is the sensible choice, especially for guided tastings, cooking classes, group afternoons and visits described as reservation-only. Contact the estate before travelling to confirm the day, start time, group size and any food or language needs.
For a hands-on day, Minardi combines wine and food with cooking classes, including pasta making. Cantina del Tufaio pairs a family-led visit with meat and cheese, while Antica Tellenae serves regional bites alongside a rustic vineyard experience.
Azienda Biologica De Sanctis focuses on organic wines, guided tastings and family context. Riserva della Cascina also offers an organic winery visit on the Appian Way, with a host-led introduction and a vineyard setting.
Confirm the tasting format when booking.
English support is specifically mentioned for Terre del Veio, where tours can be conducted in English on request. Other estates have their own arrangements, so ask about language availability when arranging the visit rather than assuming it.
