In the heart of Rome’s most iconic district, Trastevere, lies Catina Fabullus, a unique underground cellar set within an 18th-century building and carefully restored from a 1st-century AD Roman cistern. Elegantly furnished with antique decor, this extraordinary space offers an exclusive food and wine tasting experience limited to 18 guests per session. During this hour-long journey, guided by knowledgeable staff, you’ll explore Italy’s rich culinary heritage through stories, traditions, and expertly curated pairings of fine wines and artisanal delicacies. Featuring seasonal selections recognized by the Slow Food* presidium, the tasting includes DOP and IGP-certified products from small producers dedicated to preserving biodiversity and traditional methods. From creamy Gorgonzola and Taggiasca olives to Mortadella Bolognese, Mozzarella di Bufala, and Provolone del Monaco, every bite is thoughtfully paired with Italian wines to highlight their flavors. Guests are taught the art of wine tasting and perfect pairings while savoring regional specialties like Tuscan bread, Parma ham, and Bresaola di Vacca Podolica. More than just a tasting, this is a cultural and sensory exploration of Italy, led by passionate ambassadors of taste who invite you to experience the soul of the country through its food—where you don’t arrive as a tourist but as a true explorer of flavor.

We had a beautiful time sampling wines from all over Italy, combined with an assortment of incredible cheeses and meats delicately prepared and served! Sommelier was insightful and very kind! Would highly recommend to anyone!
We had a fantastic time on this wine pairing experience! It was just our party, and Ginevra did a great job explaining everything in both English and Italian. We booked the Fabullus tasting, which was described as a light lunch and was just the right amount of food. The cellar is centuries old, although you’d never guess that from the modern decor. We tasted wines, cheeses, meat, and more from around Italy. We bought bottles of two of the wines we tasted to go with dinner that night. Grazie mille, Ginevra!!
Book last minute and we were the only 2 there and it was superb. Ginevra was an excellent host and really took time to explain the wines and the food snacks. If you enjoy wine, then you must visit this wine cellar in Rome.
We had a fantastic wine tasting. The wine was great and the food amazing. Our very nice and enthusiastic host, Lorenzo, did a wonderful job by explaining everything in our glasses and on our plates. Really a nice location and a wonderful experience. Thank you! We'll be back...
