1
Meet in the heart of Trastevere
Your guide meets you in Trastevere, one of Rome's oldest neighborhoods, where locals still outnumber tourists. -
2
Enter a cozy enoteca
Step into a neighborhood wine bar where Romans stop by after work for a glass and a chat. You'll settle in at your table as your guide pours the first wine and explains what makes Italian wine culture different from anywhere else in the world. -
3
Taste 30-year aged balsamic vinegar
Sample balsamic vinegar that's been aging in wooden barrels since the 1990s. Paired with Parmigiano-Reggiano, this syrupy delight from Modena tastes more like dessert than condiment, with layers of sweetness. -
4
Savor truffle and cured meat pairings
Taste truffle-infused honey drizzled over aged cheese, then try paper-thin slices of cured meat. Each bite reveals why Italians obsess over pairing food with wine, as the flavors shift and deepen with every sip you take alongside them. -
5
Try authentic bruschetta varieties
Crunch into bruschetta made the Roman way: bread grilled over flames, rubbed with garlic, then topped with sun-dried tomatoes, buffalo mozzarella, or pesto Genovese. -
6
Learn the gelato test
At a gelateria, discover how to spot fake gelato at a glance. Your guide shares the tricks that separate tourist traps from the real deal. -
7
End with gelato in hand
Your tour finishes in Trastevere with a scoop of authentic gelato. Armed with new knowledge about Roman food traditions, you're ready to explore more trattorias and wine bars on your own!
