Food & Wine Tasting in a Medieval Cellar with Sommelier Guided Tour

About

Don’t miss the chance to explore the marvelous Lazio region and its rolling hills. Get away from the noise and crowds of the city and enjoy a relaxing time in the Roman countryside.

Let’s start our wine and lunch experience.

The cellar is located inside the medieval “Borgo” village. It was built in the 12th century by digging into the tufa hills behind the Castello. In the thirties, while uncovering the connecting tunnel between the two caverns, two mammoth tusks were found here.

We will meet our somellier guide and take a brief walk in a private cellar and learn all the secrets of wine processing. We move to the restaurant for a taste of an Italian pre-dinner with a selection of regional cheese and cut meat and Roman-style dishes. Each course is paired with an elegant local wine selected by the chef and guide to enhance the flavors of both the food and wine.

After the meal, our experience ends with the return to Rome, bringing ancient Roman memories and flavors.
