Lunch and Wine Tasting in the Roman countryside

With 160 acres of vines surrounding 17th-century architecture and 3rd-century caverns lined with French oak barrels, this is a treasure to behold. Your guide will reveal the secrets of traditional winemaking used here from antiquity through to the modern day. They will explain how Imperial Rome became the cradle of wine culture. And you will also learn why the Nectar of the Gods went from being a status symbol of the elite to a pleasure enjoyed by all.

After enjoying the beauty of the vineyard and learning about the history of the area, we get to the really fun part. A guided tasting of Santa Benedetta’s specially selected wines complemented with a traditional lunch consisting of a buffet with at least 20 different typical dishes of Roman traditions: Zucchini, aubergines, peppers, cheeses, rice and fresh pasta, ancient and new combinations. There will be a plate of homemade pasta alla amatriciana verde, and for dessert the profiterole. 

These dishes are all accompanied by local extra virgin plive oil and four local wines.
