What you'll do

When in Rome, drink wine… isn’t that how the saying goes? You’ll join one of our local Rome hosts to sip your way around Italy’s diverse wine regions, without ever setting foot outside of Rome.

Wander through the ancient cobbled streets and stop at a handpicked venue, where you’ll sample a different wine accompanied by traditional Roman specialties like fried globe artichokes (if they’re in season) or shards of Pecorino Romano.

Learn how to pair wine with food as you sip on six selected red and white wines and nibble slices of Prosciutto, specialty cheeses, and olives, discovering a variety of places like a subterranean wine cellar, an artisanal cheese shop, and the buzzing terrace of a wine bar.

Just let us know your style so your host can choose a bar to suit your vibe, and we’ll take care of the rest!

Whether at a subterranean wine cellar, or an ivy-clad al-fresco terrace, a cobbled piazza where tables spill around a crumbling fountain, or a sleek, trendy bar in fashionable Centro, you’ll discover the diversity of the region’s wines.

You could flit between a few bars or settle in at one, and if you’re having a good time (which we’re sure you will be), pull up a chair and stay awhile when your experience finishes.

The night is still young!
