Testaccio, Italy
Roman Wine Tasting with Local Cheese & Cured Meats
Wine is central to Italian meals, but it can be bewildering. This evening tasting is designed for curious visitors rather than experts.
Your sommelier guides you through the regions and grapes, with a focus on Lazio, the region around Rome, and several others. Each wine is paired with local cheeses and cured meats so you can see how the combinations work.
The pace is relaxed, and you are encouraged to ask questions. You will leave with a better idea of what to order at restaurants and what to buy at the wine shop. Check current details when you enquire.
