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.
