About this tour
You'll taste premium Italian wines—each bottle worth €50 or more—paired with Roman artichoke dishes across five courses in a private venue. A Tasting Notebook walks you through identifying flavour profiles and aromas as you learn to critique like a sommelier. Two hours in Rome, rounded out with liqueurs, digestives, coffee or tea.
Highlights
- Five-course artichoke and wine pairing sequence
- Premium bottles €50+ selected by experts
- Learn wine tasting fundamentals with guided notebook
- Private space for you and your group
- Digestifs and digestives included
What to expect
You'll arrive at a reserved tasting room where each wine is presented alongside a Roman artichoke preparation—carciofi alla romana, fried, creamed, or raw depending on the course. Your Tasting Notebook gives you a framework: look for colour, swirl, smell, then taste. Staff guide you through acidity, tannins, and finish without jargon. The wines are the main event; food complements rather than overshadows. By course five, you'll spot what you've learned to notice. Everything flows towards digestifs and a final coffee or tea.
Good to know
Not suitable if pregnant. Prams and service animals welcome. Public transport nearby. The €50+ minimum per bottle means serious wine; come curious rather than precious. Two hours moves briskly—arrive unhurried.
