Italy in a Glass, and on the Table
Our food and wine experiences in Rome are private tastings and tours designed around your group. Italian wines paired with seasonal dishes, extra virgin olive oils tasted like fine wines, walks between the city’s markets and wine bars, and day trips to the vineyards just outside Rome.
Every experience is led in English by the Cookinart team, with the same care chef Lucia d’Aloisio Mayo brings to our dinners and cooking classes. It can take place in your apartment, villa or holiday rental, or out in the city and the countryside.
