Wine course
I took the wine course with Christian and I really enjoyed it a lot. It was a very pleasant evening, with good wine, good food, and many interesting things to learn. Christian is a knowledgeable and passionate person, but above all, he manages to explain everything in a simple and engaging way. A truly beautiful experience, which I gladly recommend!

Great experience
The experience was great! Christian was very knowledgeable about the wines and the food pairings. His spaghetti was amazing.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind words. I’m really glad to hear you enjoyed the experience and that the wine pairings added something special to your tasting. It was a pleasure sharing my knowledge with you. And I’m especially happy you loved the spaghetti — cooking it for guests who appreciate good food is always a joy. Thank you again for joining the experience and for taking the time to share your feedback. Warm regards, Christian Roma Gourmet Experience

Food, Wine, and Friends
This was a very insightful wine tasting that not only covered the methods of the wine tasting process but also covered many wines from Italy but specifically in the Lazio region of Rome. What I found quite unique about the food was the diversity and creativity Christian provided. Foods that I would have never thought to previously pair together. It was also quite interesting to see how quickly the main dish came together providing an incredibly delicious meal. I found Christian to be incredibly insightful and a man with a true passion for what he is providing. It was a true pleasure to meet him and to know that he has become a life long friend that we hope to meet up with again soon.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for this wonderful review — it truly made my day. I’m glad the tasting felt both informative and local; I love sharing the wines of Lazio and the stories behind them. It was a pleasure to surprise you with a few unexpected pairings and to see the main dish come together so quickly and deliciously. Meeting warm, curious people like you is exactly why I do this work, and I’m honored to have made a friend in the process. I look forward to cooking and tasting together again soon — the table (and a good bottle) will be waiting. Warmly, Christian

An extraordinary evening of wine, stories, and new friendships.
Christian was an amazing soul and it was such an honor to meet him. We truly appreciated his enthusiasm for the wine he showed us and with the food he provided. We walked away with not only an appreciation for the wine he selected but also with a friend. We can’t wait to cross paths again to enjoy another glass of wine and good stories.
Response from the operator: Wow, thank you for such a wonderful review! 🍷✨ Christian will be thrilled to know his passion for wine and food made your experience so special. We love that you left not only with a taste of great wine but also with a new friendship — that’s exactly the magic we aim for! We can’t wait to welcome you back soon for another glass, more laughs, and plenty of stories to share. 🥂

Response from the operator: Your words truly made our day! 🌟 Meeting you was just as special for Christian, and we’re so glad his love for wine and food turned into such a memorable moment. Friendships born over a good glass of wine are the best kind, don’t you think? 🍷 We’ll be keeping a seat ready and a bottle uncorked for the next time our paths cross — stories taste even better when shared! 🥂

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Course in Rome: Wine Education with Food - mini sommelier course: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rome.
How much does Course in Rome: Wine Education with Food - mini sommelier course cost?
+
Prices start at $92 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Rome usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Course in Rome: Wine Education with Food - mini sommelier course take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Rome is not rushed.
Is Course in Rome: Wine Education with Food - mini sommelier course worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 22 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Rome, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Course in Rome: Wine Education with Food - mini sommelier course?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Course in Rome: Wine Education with Food - mini sommelier course suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Course in Rome: Wine Education with Food - mini sommelier course?
+
Around 8 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Rome can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Rome and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Course in Rome: Wine Education with Food - mini sommelier course start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Rome within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Rome?
+
Rome runs on skip-the-line access. The Colosseum underground, the Vatican before opening, and the catacombs south of the walls all require a licensed operator, and the price gap between the good ones and the rest is smaller than you would expect. We rank by guide credentials, group size and how reliably the promised access actually materialises. On Outty we rank every Rome experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Rome Pizza & Gelato Class with Wine by Cooking Italy, Rome [4in1] Pasta Making_Tiramisù_Wine Tasting_Secret Cellar, Rome Pasta and Tiramisu Class: Ravioli, Fettuccine & Fine Wine 5*. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Rome?
+
April, May, September and October. August is hot and half the city is shut. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Rome?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Course in Rome: Wine Education with Food - mini sommelier course?
+
Included: There will be a sommelier to explain how to recognize the qualities of the different wines; Snacks; and Alcoholic beverages. Not included: Private transportation. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
