Taste sommelier-selected Italian wines and artisan specialties in a historic underground cellar beneath Trastevere.

About this tour

Step beneath Trastevere into a cellar shaped from a 2,000-year-old Roman cistern, where Italian wine and culinary heritage meet in an atmospheric setting. This Rome Wine and Food Tasting pairs superior Italian wines selected by a sommelier with products recognized by the Slow Food presidium and sourced from small artisans.

At Fabullus, friendly staff introduce the origins and stories behind the delicacies as you taste in a historic underground space furnished with antiques. The selection celebrates traditional production and the people who preserve Italy’s gastronomic heritage. Unlimited water is provided, and the products carry certifications including DOC, DOCG, IGT, DOP, IGP, and STG. Choose the 4-wine-only option if you prefer a wine tasting without food; food is not included with that option.

Make your way to Residenza San Calisto in Trastevere and arrive five minutes before your scheduled time. Book this Rome Wine and Food Tasting for a flavorful encounter with Italian wines, artisan specialties, and a remarkable piece of the city’s past.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.81 from 21 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Rome
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.1.
