Sitting just 13 miles outside of Rome is Frascati, one of the small towns known in the region of the Castelli Romani for its villas built by noble families in the 16th century. But one of the best reasons to stop here might just be for its enogastronomic heritage, all tied to the grape harvest season.

This village is known for its pupazza, a honey cookie shaped like a woman with three breasts, its signature fall delight, the ciambella al mosto, and the chance to stop into le fraschette, the old-style taverns that sell local wine.
