Your evening begins with a welcome Spritz, introduced and explained by your host so you can discover the story behind Italy’s most iconic aperitivo. You’ll then enjoy a guided tasting of Prosecco paired with carefully selected local specialties from the Lazio region, including two varieties of olives, crunchy taralli, and mini bruschette topped with premium extra virgin olive oil in a mini olive oil tasting experience.
