Overview

Just steps from the Vatican, join a licensed Rome guide and professional sommelier for an intimate Italian wine tasting designed to feel more like a great evening with locals than a formal wine class.

Taste three carefully selected Italian wines — Prosecco from Asolo, Frascati Superiore from Lazio and a distinctive red from Campania — paired with six artisanal Italian specialties, including regional cheeses, cured meats, aged Parmigiano with balsamic vinegar and dark chocolate.

As we taste, you’ll discover what makes each wine and product special: where it comes from, how it is made, why the pairing works, and the traditions and stories behind it.

No intimidating wine jargon, no tourist-trap atmosphere — just excellent Italian wine, exceptional food and fascinating conversation around the table.

Come hungry, leave knowing Italy a little better.
