ROME: FABULLUS TASTING WITH WINE PAIRING
Description
Step into the soul of Trastevere, Rome’s most vibrant and authentic neighborhood, and uncover one of the city’s best-kept secrets: Fabullus, an extraordinary underground wine cellar steeped in over 2,000 years of history. Nestled beneath an 18th-century palazzo, this atmospheric space was once a Roman cistern from the 1st century AD, now beautifully restored and transformed into a refined tasting venue adorned with antique furnishings and timeless charm.
This is not just a tasting — it's an exclusive journey through the flavors, stories, and traditions of Italy, designed for those who seek authentic experiences beyond the ordinary. Our welcoming team will guide you through a curated selection of Italy’s finest food and wines, sharing the origins and anecdotes that make each product a symbol of cultural heritage.
Fabullus sources only the highest-quality ingredients from small artisanal producers, many of whom are recognized by the Slow Food presidium* for their commitment to sustainability, biodiversity, and tradition. Each wine and dish served has been carefully chosen to celebrate the regions and recipes that define Italian gastronomy.
Let yourself be immersed in a setting where history, flavor, and elegance come together, and indulge in a one-of-a-kind food and wine experience that will stay with you long after your Roman holiday ends.
