Tiber River Hop-On Hop-Off Boat Ride with Exclusive Wine & Food Tasting in a 1st-Century Roman Cistern

Discover Rome from an unexpected perspective with a perfect blend of relaxation, history, and refined taste. Your experience begins with a Hop-On Hop-Off boat ride on the Tiber River, allowing you to admire the Eternal City’s iconic landmarks—from Castel Sant'Angelo to Tiber Island—in complete tranquility, far from the crowds and chaos of street-level tourism.

Once in Trastevere, step into the heart of Rome’s underground history at Fabullus Winery, hidden inside an authentic 1st-century Roman cistern. Here, an exclusive wine and food tasting awaits you in one of the city’s most atmospheric and secret locations.

You’ll have the freedom to choose between three curated tasting menus:

  • Fabullus – a refined sampling of traditional flavors
  • Classic – a balanced experience of Roman culinary heritage
  • De Luxe – a premium journey through excellence and fine wine

Each option is paired with a selection of high-quality Italian wines, and all feature seasonal ingredients, including Slow Food Presidia and products certified with DOC, DOCG, IGT, DOP, IGP, and STG labels.

This immersive experience offers more than a simple tasting—it's a journey into the authentic flavors, sights, and hidden stories of Rome, where the gentle pace of the river meets the richness of Italian gastronomic tradition. 

Please note:
Children will not be served wine, and wine is not included in the children's menu. Instead, soft drinks and water will be provided.
This experience is not recommended for children under 7 years of age due to the activity's nature and duration.
If parents explicitly request wine for a child, this will be provided only at the discretion of the staff and must be paid for on-site separately.
