This was hands-down the best experience! Alice was so friendly and knowledgeable. The wine was incredible, and Alice answered all our questions and the pairings she created with various cheeses, meats and additions (honey, 30 year aged balsamic, truffle) were absolutely incredible. The gelato was THE best gelato I have ever tasted. She recommended a place for dinner for my friend and I when we asked, and it was so good - she really knows everyone in Rome (or at least in Trastevere!). Do this tour - you will not be disappointed!

Alice was born and lives in Trastevere and we felt her passion for the neighbourhood. The wines were wonderful especially with the food pairings.
Great value.
Recommend!

The guide was well educated, very clear in speaking English and very pleasant. She also gave us a lot of other local tips in matter of places to eat and drink. We tried all and were not dissappointed
A fun evening

Alice was an amazing host. She was very knowledgeable about the wine, the grapes, the region, and the delicious food that we had to go along with all of it. We enjoyed our time with her and learned so much.

Alice was a great host, very friendly and knowledgeable. We were a group of 3 ladies and were the only people on the tour, the wine was good, the food was good, the gelato was good. One of my party was gluten free and this was catered for without any issues. Lots of laughs, I would definitely recommend you try this, we will do it again next time we visit.
Great experience. Family...

Great experience. Family of seven all enjoyed the wine tasting with Alice. Communication before the tour was really good and there was no problem with being offered gluten free bread because of dietary requirements. Informative, friendly and fun. Thank you Alice and crew.
Nice Day out

Go and do this unique Roman experience
Michelle_P, Jun 2023
Lovely experience. Definitely recommend. Our entire family loved it and we would do it again to hear those amazing voices. It's like hearing the greatest hits of Italian opera where you will know every song even if you aren't a serious opera fan. It was fabulous.
Enjoyable Afternoon Experience
Barbara_N, Jun 2023
Alice was great. Excellent wines with delicious and special food pairings. Gelato was best we’ve yet had in Italy.
Amazing experience with Alice in Trastevere!
Michele_G, May 2023
I absolutely loved this experience with Alice in Trastevere! We tasted 3 incredible wines paired with many different cheeses, cured meats, truffles, and more, followed by a visit to a nearby Gelateria for some amazing gelato. Alice is a wonderful guide who is exceptionally knowledgeable about food and wine and made the whole experience a lot of fun. This was a most enjoyable afternoon and I will definitely book with Alice next time I am in Rome. Thank you, Alice!
Very nicely done!
Ray_M, Apr 2023
Alicia hosted a very enjoyable wine and food pairing. Until yesterday I would never have considered dusting gorgonzola with dark chocolate and pairing it with a nice Sangiovese. Don't knock it until you try it. Almost forgot the Gelato. A short walk from the wine tasting was the best Gelato we have had so far.
