Once you’re comfortably settled, the tasting will commence. Listen closely as the sommelier guides you through Italy’s wine regions via tastings of 6 distinct wines. Your session will start with a glass of either Prosecco or Franciacorta, together with taralli - a traditional snack from Apulia.

Wonderful first time experience - This was fabulous! We did it for the experience but it was so much fun and Patrizia was so knowledgeable. Just wish we could have taken all the wines home with us 😊

Boutique wine tasting experience - A tiny wine store, where locals popped in and out during our 3 hours clustered on stools round a small table. 6 generous servings, each accompanied with snacks, meats and cheeses and a superb selection of Italian fizz, white, rose and red. The sommelier was unobtrusive, allowing us to enjoy the wine and chat. A very perfect evening

Wine tasting with class - Enoteco Bortone is a classy little wine shop run by sommelier Patricia Bortone. We had an exclusive wine tasting of a sparkling wine, two wines, a rose and two reds - all of exceptional quality. All accompanied with very well presented tasty local meat and cheese pairings. If you like wine and want to taste the best Italy has to offer, do not miss this highly exclusive, excellent value for money personalised experience of Rome and taste of Italy. A guaranteed highlight of any visit to Rome.

Amazing night - Perfect birthday present. Patrizia is very knowledgeable and easily changed out the wines I didn’t like for ones that were more my style and flavours. Nibbles were also amazing, the best mozerella we have ever tasted! Definitely worth every penny ☺️

Enjoyable evening - We have done this before in Barcelona and were part of a group of 12 however this time it was just ourselves and the owner of the wine shop. The wine tasting and food were really good but it wasn’t the group experience we were expecting.

Just a Jerk - We missed our time by approx 30 mins. Totally our fault.....but I thought maybe with an apology and some honesty, someone would try to be fair. Tour guide never once text, called, or emailed, and had he done so, we were 10 minutes away, easily would've met. Instead he made no attempt to contact and wouldnt even consider rescheduling or at least refund the portion of the money he didn't have to spend on food......I'm guessing the tour wouldn't have been great bc this was someone looking to take the money and do as little as possible. Needless to say, no more viator for me. They clearly don't have your back nor care.
