TOUR DESCRIPTION
This is Rome's first wine tasting tour to blend history, quality wine, olive oil, and the scenic beauty of Italy's vineyards and centuries old olive groves into one experience to entertain the senses as well as the mind.
Take a sip of history on Rome's first wine tasting tour that transports you out of the bustle of the city and into a haven encircled by the vineyards and olive groves of the Frascati region. Amble along 200 acres of vines surrounding 17th century architecture, treasures of one of Italy's oldest and most distinguished noble families, the Pallavicini. Feel the cool humidity of the 3rd century caverns lined with Acacia and French Oak barriques filled with wines aging to perfection.Our expert guide will show you Roman history through the lens of a glass of vino. You will discover Imperial Rome as the cradle for wine culture, where the Nectar of the Gods went from an ambrosia for the elite to a common pleasure.
This enticing voyage of the senses concludes with a guided tasting of a special selection of Pallavicini's own wines and olive oil. The Nectar of the Gods Wine Tasting Tour begins with a scenic 30 - 40 minute transfer to the Frascati D.O.C. Region in an air-conditioned vehicle, during which your guide will discuss the significance of the area, which is renowned for its fresh air and wine. Upon arriving at the Pallavicini Estate, a leisurely walk through the vineyards will explore historical and modern aspects of wine from every angle, from the Ancient Romans to today, from the grape to the glass. The walk stirs orated history with visual example, such as the wine cellars in caverns expanded from 3rd century ruins and the ancient Roman wine presses. We will then be transferred to the Pallavicini headquarters where, in a comfort of a restored 17th century farmhouse, we will relax with a guided tasting of wines and an olive oil before returning to R
