Pasta, wine, cheese, salami, olive oil – these are the tastes of Italy. The country’s famous food regions have given their names to some of the world’s most popular food and wine – from Montepulciano wines to Parmigiano cheese.

Tuscany and Umbria play a starring role in the legends of Italian cuisine, with rustic trattorias and the vineyards of Chianti. Rome is known for its Trastevere restaurants and the ancient recipes of its Jewish Ghetto area.

Join a food tour to try your hand at creating famous recipes like luscious tiramisu dessert, and pick up food and wine-matching tips from the experts. Visit the Roman countryside, take a foodie walking tour through Rome, or spend time amongst the vines in Chianti.

Doing what: Frascati Wine Tasting Tour from Rome

Definitely the best thing I did in Rome! My tour guide, Tiffany, was so helpful, knowledgeable, and personable. Would do this tour again in a heartbeat!

Doing what: Frascati Wine Tasting Tour from Rome

This was an extremely well organized and fun adventure. Spending an afternoon in the beautiful Roman countryside was a refreshing and welcome change, after having spent 10 full days in central Rome. Everything went like clockwork. Tiffany, our guide, was knowledgeable not only about wine but also about the history of the area and the vineyard. The tour of the wine making facility was great, but the highlight was definitely the wine tasting. We were given copious amounts of four delicious wines: one white, two reds and one dessert wine. Tiffany translated information from our Italian wine expert at the tasting. Since this was a small group tour, we were able to ask questions and (thanks to the wine) were also able to temporarily bond as a group. We would highly recommend this tour for wine lovers and for anyone wanting an afternoon away from churches, museums and the traffic of Rome. Make sure you know exactly where to meet the tour bus as the meeting place, although at a Metro stop, is somewhat distant from the center of Rome. This is a 5***** tour1

Doing what: Small-Group Tuscany Wine-Tasting Tour from Florence

Fantastic!!! The tour guide was extremely knowledgable, passionate and great fun. We learnt so much about Chianti wine making and enjoyed drinking and eating as much as we could. We are a young couple who highly recommend this tour.
