Do-Nation - Tours:Rome - Wine and Cheese tasting in Rome

Once a family run wine shop, this typical enoteca in the heart of Rome has been transformed into a wine bar after 50 years by the third generation running it. The shelves are lined with carefully selected bottles produced by prestigious emerging wineries. An inviting selection of regional cheeses, premium salami and hams, smoked fish and a choice of home made dishes will be complemented with the wine. You will learn how to drink and taste the wine, the differences between colors and perfumes as well as learning about the areas of production.
