Imagine leaving the excitement of the city of Rome and arriving into a haven encircled by vineyards and olive groves of the Frascati region. Then begin wandering through acres of vines that surrounds the 17th century architecture of the Pallavicini villa.

This villa is home to one of Italy’s oldest and most distinguished noble families. Inside is the cool humidity of the 3rd century caverns lined with Acacia and French Oak barriques that are filled with wines aging to perfection. This is only the beginning of the wine tours of Rome. The wine tours of Rome are famous for teaching you ancient Roman history through a glass of vino.  Imperial Rome was the cradle for wine culture.

It started with ambrosia for the elite of Roman society to a common pleasure. It is still a common pleasure of Rome today. One can only imagine the wine tours of Rome back in ancient times. Using chariots instead of limos to cart their guests from vineyard to vineyard and then simply spending the night at the last vineyard because even the horses seem to have had too much vino to find their way home. But the ancient Romans knew their grapes. And what has evolved today is something no less than splendid. The wines that come from Italy are superb and a common pleasure all over the world today.

The Olive Oil

The wine tours of Rome today could be simply walking from café to bistro sipping a different wine at each one. It seems that all Italians have grape vines growing in their backyards and they are attempting to grow Italy’s finest vintage. And sometimes Mama’s backyard vineyard is extremely pleasing to the palate.

These simple wine tours of Rome will allow you to sample Mama’s own pasta recipes complete with breadsticks and her own olive oil. Olive oil is another hidden magic among the wine tours of Rome. Whether it’s a large, magnificent vineyard or a small café in the heart of Rome, a Roman wine is not complete without wood oven baked breadsticks and its own olive oil.  If you decide to personally walk your way through the fine wine cafes and bistros of Rome you will certainly have memories that last a lifetime.

Or whether you choose the fine wine tours of Rome that will take you to wine cellars all over the countryside, you will certainly sample wonderful wine. Wine tours of Rome will take you to magnificent villas, such as Pallavicini and they will teach you every aspect of wine today, from the grape to the glass. But wherever wine tours of Rome will take you, you can be assured that it will be a relaxing day with guided tasting of wines, olive oils and breadsticks and your limo to guide you back home.
