If you’re in Rome and want to explore the wonderful and complex world that is Italian wines, you don’t have to take a trip to Tuscany to go wine tasting. (Though you should! It’s beautiful!) Throughout the Eternal City, there are restaurants and tour companies that want to help your taste buds become a little more familiar with the deep red goodness swirling in your glass.
Some tour companies mix wine tastings with a guided walk, taking you on a tour of the best in Rome to complement the best in your glass. While many others specialize in food pairings, so that you’ll end with not only a firm grasp of an Italian wine menu but also a new taste for matching those wines with fine Italian meats and cheeses. If one of your main attractions to Italy is the wine, I would suggest you contact any of the following, listed below, to help you move quickly from the awkward stages of necessary introductions to a comfortable intimacy!
