Regional Italian wine and food tasting with expert sommelier
Take a wine discovering trip around Italy without ever having to leave the heart of Rome, with this one-of-a-kind wine tasting experience. Your evening will take place in a specially designed ‘tasting library’ that will give you all the space and peacefulness needed to make your interaction with the sommelier and other guests a pleasant and unforgettable experience.
This wine tasting room offers you a perfect ambience with shelves of books lining the walls, olive oils, balsamic vinegar and wine. Live a moment of uninterrupted enjoyment.
Your sommelier and host for the evening is an industry expert, sought out by wine makers and mentioned in magazines, documentaries, and professional blogs. Throughout this tour, you will have his undivided attention as you taste wines and learn about the historic tradition of wine making. For 2 hours you will learn about the aromas and flavours of Italy’s best loved wines and you’ll discover some of the industry’s best kept secrets.
How do you know if a wine is standard or complex? What is going on when a wine critic says they detect notes of “Afghan roses” and “Russian leather”? How does one get “off the beaten path” and discover a new favorite? No matter what level of wine-knowledge you may have, there is something new to discover for everyone. Your guide will answer all kinds of questions, asked by you and the other guests, teaching your group how wine affects the tongue’s taste centers and what you can expect from different Italian regions. Your guide will fill you in on some of the wine-makers pursuit of excellence as opposed to the pursuit of profit.
Although wine is the star, you won’t want to underestimate the meticulously selected foods that will accompany each glass. Rich cheeses, succulent cured ham, and delicate salami are just a few of the regional delicacies you’ll taste, each with its own history and fame. The attention to detail and quality in this mix of wine, food, and fun on our unique Regional Italian Wine & Food Tasting with Expert Sommelier will make this one of the best experiences and most enjoyable stories to share when you get back home.
