Rome Wine Tours
"And Noah, he often said to his wife when he sat down to dine,
'I don't care where the water goes if it doesn't get into the wine.'"
~ G.K. Chesterton
The Etruscans are the last known civilization of north central Italy, and left behind a legacy: evidence of wine making. By the time the Greeks settled in the south, wine making was part of Italian life, and they called it Enotria meaning the land of wine, the 3000 year old tradition has been refined to a degree where regional grape varieties and the wines are as distinct as personal as a name. Our Rome wine tour packages will acquaint you with them.
Rome wine tasting tours
In Rome, wine tours are along the central heartland of the peninsula, with the rolling hills, sunshine and moderate temperatures the weather is amply suited to viticulture. Between the Tyrrhenian Adriatic seas lie six of the central wine producing regions.
Wine tours in Rome are naturally filled with the magnificence of the surroundings, the predominance of the Vatican City and all the architectural splendors therein.
Lazio
The sommeliers awarded Lazio a gold medal in the price quality category. Lazio produces a white wine, the Frascati wine. The sheer volume and quantity of the wine proves its popularity which has been growing since 1793. Except 1985 to 1995, regarded as the bad years when scruples ate into quality. Since then there is again a resurrection of the white wine as the award proves.
Changing Times
As some wine blogs indicate the DOC has forced this white wine situation on Lazio to whet Italian thirst. Now outside interests are producing red wines with great success in the volcanic soils of the region like the Casale Del Giglio. You can experience these changes on our wine tour. Rome; to your heart’s content.
