This is not a wine bar or a standard wine tasting. Taste'Accio is the gateway to Lazio's hidden wine heritage, located inside a historic underground cave carved into Monte dei Cocci, one of Rome's most unique archaeological sites. Instead of tasting famous Italian wines from regions like Tuscany or Piedmont, you'll discover rare labels from small independent wineries, native grape varieties and volcanic terroir found only around Rome. Every bottle has been carefully selected to showcase the diversity and identity of Lazio, a wine region often overlooked by visitors. The experience is enriched with a selection of traditional Lazio specialties, fascinating stories about Roman food culture and winemaking, and insights from an expert host. With small groups, a relaxed atmosphere and an extraordinary underground setting, this is an authentic, immersive experience that offers a side of Rome few travellers ever discovered.
Lunch
Guided tasting of 4 Lazio wines, selection of traditional Lazio cheeses, cured meats and local specialties, expert host, access to the historic underground cave at Monte dei Cocci.
Skip the crowded wine bars and discover a hidden side of Rome. Your experience begins inside a historic underground cave built into Monte dei Cocci, one of Rome's archaeological sites. This ancient hill, created over 2,000 years ago from millions of Roman amphora fragments, has maintained the perfect natural temperature for aging food and wine for centuries. After a short introduction to the history of Testaccio and Ancient Rome's food trade, your sommelier will guide you through four carefully selected wines produced exclusively in Lazio by independent wineries. You'll discover indigenous grape varieties such as Malvasia Puntinata and rare local blends while learning how the volcanic soils around Rome shape the wines' minerality, freshness and character. Each wine is paired with artisanal Lazio specialties selected to enhance every tasting. Unlike traditional food tours, there is no walking between venues. Everything takes place in an intimate underground setting where you can relax, ask questions and enjoy an authentic Roman wine experience away from the crowds. Perfect for wine lovers, couples and curious travellers looking to discover Rome beyond its famous landmarks.
MAIN
Guided tasting of regional wines paired with regional delicacies
Organic Sparkling, White, Rosé and Red Lazio wines with a selection of traditional Lazio cheeses, cured meats and artisan specialties.

Excellent and unforgettable cheese-cutting, -arranging, -tasting experience

I recently went here with my girlfriend and we had an excellent and unforgettable time. The experience was about 1.5 hrs with the two of us, involving a tour of the establishment and a discussion about its origin and secrets, a tutorial on how to safely and professionally cut cheese and assort cheese on a cheeseboard, before tasting the cheeses. The organisers were very friendly and chatty, and the language barrier didn't get in the way of us learning the traditional methods and taking pride in ...read more

Quello che non ti aspetti

Locale situato in zona Testaccio quartiere storico di Roma. All’apparenza visto da fuori può sembrare un normalissimo locale ma, varcata la soglia ti trovi in una grotta naturale, incantevole e sapientemente arredata. Siamo stati accolti da Vincenzo che ci ha spiegato la filosofia del locale con l’utilizzo dei soli prodotti laziali (di ottima qualità) e, dietro suo consiglio abbiamo degustato una selezione di formaggi, salumi e prodotti sott’olio accompagnati da bollicine e vino rosso. Tutti pro...read more

Great Experience

We booked the cheese, meat and wine tasting at 55 euro each and it was fantastic. After a brief explanation of the cave we were sat down and presented with 4 wines at our own pace and a lovely selection of 6 Cheeses and 5 meats. The wine was the best Lazio wine we have tasted and the measures were generous, totalling about a bottle of wine across the 4 glasses.

A really impressive space, first rate locally-sourced food and wine, and a gracious host makes this a must-see

I thoroughly enjoyed visiting 'Taste'Accio' in the heart of Rome's renown Testaccio district with a group of friends. Not only was the space really impressive, but the 'Degustazione' featuring locally-sourced cheeses and cured meats paired with regional wines, was absolutely first rate as well. Proprietor Alessia was also extremely gracious and helpful, and she told us quite a bit about the history of Testaccio, especially with regards to the Monte Dei Cocci, but I won't spoil it for you if you'...read more

Quaint, delicious, intimate

Our vespa tour brought us here, and we are SO glad they did! They put together quite the charcuterie, and paired the wine beautifully with he meats and cheeses selected. Bonus: it's in a cave, so it was quite cool on a warm spring day!
