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.

Additional Information

We offer Rome’s first and longest-running Italian wine tastings in English (since 2008) and are the only provider with a dedicated tasting space, designed solely for this purpose, with no interruptions nor outsiders on the premises. Our experience and long-standing contacts with winemakers all over Italy allow us to select the best wines for curious wine drinkers and teaching them with best didactic practices, while keeping the experience light and fresh.

All of the wines we pour at VinoRoma are from small independent producers that use a low-intervention, hands-off approach to winemaking. Some use the term “natural wine” but, really, this is the way wine has always been made since the beginning. For us, the chemicals and additives that have made their way into wineries in recent decades in the pursuit of convenience and profit are the real outliers, the “artificial wines”, to coin a term. We wouldn’t do that to you ;)

  • Children under 12 are not admitted on the premises. Children 12-16 may be present but can not take part in the tasting and have to pass the time quietly.

WONDERFUL introduction to traditional Italian wine! - A WONDERFUL introduction to Italian wine, with a knowledgeable, warm and passionate guide through a curated selection of bio wines of the Italic peninsula, North to South. Excellent both for those discovering wine and those who want an insider's view on "low intervention" -- wines made with as few additives and industrial flavors as possible, in keeping with millennial-old know-how -- and taste. Grazie, we are very fortunate to live in Rome and will most certainly be back for further tastings and events!

Build a stop on your vacation to VinoRoma Wine School and Social Club. SO worth it!!! - Frank was an excellent guide to these wines. He took us from the north of Italy to the south with six glasses! We truly got an education and it was so NOT snobby or boring. Frank is really down to earth, but knows his stuff. Go out of your way, build this into your trip to Rome!

Very nice ! - We tried the ‘My Italians’ tasting which allowed us to learn a lot about wines from different Italian regions. We really enjoyed discovering some rather rare wines. The atmosphere was superb, the founder/facilitator passionate and exciting! The place is very nice. Finally, we were in a small, very friendly group. So we had a great time.

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.
