Live like a Roman foodie: food and wine tour around the Vatican

Join on a food and wine tour of the elegant and popular Vatican neighborhood. This is the perfect experience for those who want to discover the best local products and live the everyday life of a true Roman. Let the guide take you on a journey through the taste of Italy, during which you'll sample delicacies from different regions.

The tour starts from the century-old doors of the Vatican Museums to discover the genuine taste of a Sicilian cannolo and the heady aroma of a freshly made espresso.

Then, walk through the streets of the lively and elegant Vatican neighborhood in search of hidden flavors: the narrow side streets reveal another face of Rome to be discovered. Taste a fragrant, fine and crunchy Roman pizza in an ancient bakery, where tradition, taste and territory come together for a unique experience.

At the Trionfale Market, follow your guide like Dante in the Paradise of taste. Get lost among the fruit and vegetable stands and other thousand delicacies, in an explosion of colors, scents and flavors. Be enchanted by the unique atmosphere that only a traditional food market is able to give.

You'll come into direct contact with small producers of cheese and cured meat and taste 48-month aged Parmesan with balsamic vinegar of Modena. Tuscan oil and wine, as well as juicy buffalo mozzarella from Naples, spices and truffles will whet the appetite.

Finally, reach the elegant terrace of the PummaRè Restaurant to enjoy a steaming plate of fresh pasta seasoned with the best seasonal products and paired with a sophisticated glass of wine.

Like life, the tour is a circular gastronomic journey: it all started with a sweet pit stop, what better way to say goodbye than with a homemade gelato from the award-winning Gelateria Fatamorgana?
