Highlights
  • VinoRoma Wine Studio & Social Club - Wine Tastings, Food Tours, Courses, Training, Special Events - You will taste 6 Italian wines under the guidance of a professional certified sommelier and wine educator with decades of experience.

After an initial refresher of the steps of wine tasting, we’ll go on to taste very different styles of wines from all over Italy. As you taste each new wine you’ll be introduced to a new characteristic and the reasons behind it. You will understand your own perception of the wine taste and how you can use it for smarter wine choices in the future.

You will learn about the effects different regions, grapes, soils, climate and winemaking techniques have on the end result, the glass of wine in front of you. You will also get a peek into the place wine has in Italian culture and history, general guidelines about how to pair wines with food, agricultural practices like organic and sustainable farming or even neuro-enology. Your interest and questions will definitely play a role in how deep and and in which direction the discussion goes - we meet each guest at exactly the level they are, be it novice, enthusiast or even sommelier or winemaker and take them a couple of steps further.

Printed info & learning materials will be provided.

Private wine tasting - We met with Maurizio for two hours for a private Wine tasting and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves! Very educational as my husband specifically, wanted to learn more about Italian wines. He provided six wines while educating us and providing also, appropriate cheese and cured meats for each pairing. Highly recommend us! It was something different for us.

Wine and Cheese dinner - delicious - This is my second tasting with Vinoroma, and it might have been better than the first. The tasting is conducted in a lovely space in the Monti area, close to the Colosseum (you could even pair a late afternoon photo session there, then walk over to Vinoroma for the tasting). We tasted 5 different natural wines, all accompanied by cheese, olives, cured meats and, yes, chocolate. Maurizio gives everyone lots of information about what you are tasting and tailors it to your level of experience with wine. While there’s no real need for dinner afterwards, you could easily make a late night reservation nearby.

A Rome highlight for this natural wine fan - I'm a natural wine fan that seeks it out wherever I travel. I'm fairly well educated on wine in general, but didn't have much knowledge on Italian regions beyond some basics. I was lucky enough to have booked an evening where it was just my wife and I with Frank to guide us through his incredibly delicious selections These wines reflect their soil and climate so well, and to be taught WHY they taste they way they do, I feel like I learned so much. Frank had intimate knowledge and valuable insights on each wine's region, producer(s), and production methods. No matter how educated you are on natural wine, Frank and Maurizio will no doubt be able to educate you on how to enjoy it even more. A big highlight for us on our 3-day Rome trip! We even went back for a wine-by-the-glass evening in their studio.

A fabulous evening of eating and drinking delicious Italian food and wine. - We did the 'Wine and Cheese Dinner' and we had a fabulous evening tasting wines and eating delicious Italian food. There was only one other couple there who were great company and we continued the evening with them after we left! We enjoyed all of the wines that we tasted (one fizz, two whites, one red and a dessert wine) and the food pairings were excellent - fresh mozzarella and ricotta (made that day!), cherry tomatoes, olives, different cured meats, chocolate. We'd certainly recommend it and would go again given the chance.

Fantastic experience and great wines - This wine tasting was a fantastic experience and addition to our trip to Rome. The venue is intimate and it’s obvious that the owners truly care about quality wine and enjoying wine as an experience. Frank was our wonderful and incredibly knowledgable sommelier, and the wines he picked for the tasting were fantastic and great to challenge your tastes and try something knew. It was also a pleasant surprise that all of the wines were natural / low-intervention. We learned so much and had a great time while doing it.
