Trastevere Rome food and wine tours put dinner and the wine that goes with it in one fare, spread over four to seven stops in the lanes or served at a single wine bar on Via della Scala. You eat at every stop and pay nothing more at the table.
Four evening hours from Tiber Island into Trastevere's lanes, with six or seven stops, local wine along the way and a seated pasta course on Via Roma Libera. Gelato closes it. Twelve guests at most.
From $122 per person
Free cancellation up to 24 hours ahead.
Starts in Piazza Farnese and eats its way through Campo de' Fiori and the Jewish Ghetto before crossing Tiber Island. Pick the longer option if you want the wine: the two-hour street-food version leaves it out.
From $85 per person
Free cancellation up to 24 hours ahead.
Four hours, four venues and twenty tastings, with the wine poured freely rather than measured. Truffle, thirty-year balsamic and a trapizzino are on the menu, and one stop stays a secret until you reach it.
From $120 per person
Free cancellation up to 24 hours ahead.
Three hours that end at a table: a Roman deli, a street-food stop, then a three-course dinner with wine, a limoncello and gelato. You meet in Piazza Farnese and cross into Trastevere together.
From $68 per person
Free cancellation up to 24 hours ahead.
Leaves La Carbonara in Campo de' Fiori at half past five and works through the centre first, then sits you down to supper in a Trastevere eatery. Four hours, all the food and wine on the route.
From $88 per person
Free cancellation up to 24 hours ahead.

Two hours at one Via della Scala wine bar, five Italian wines from prosecco to Barolo, each paired with a plate such as fried codfish or truffle and pecorino. Adults only, and the lowest fare you can book here.

Free cancellation up to 24 hours ahead.
Four hours from Tiber Island into Trastevere, six or seven stops, local wine and a seated pasta course. Twelve guests at most.
Check availabilityIt is dinner, spread across a neighborhood. You meet a guide at a square or a bridge, and over two to four hours you eat at four to seven places: a deli counter, a bakery, a supplì fryer, a trattoria where you sit for pasta, and a gelateria at the end. Wine is poured along the way. The fare pays for the food and the drink, so you are not handed a bill at any stop.
The other form is shorter and stays put. At the wine bars on Via della Scala you sit at one table for ninety minutes or two hours while the glasses and the plates come to you. Fares across both forms run from $45 to $211 a head. Still asking which is the best food tour trastevere rome has for your evening? Start with the full comparison.
Trastevere has more tables than it has good ones, and the menus by the busiest squares are written for people who will never come back. A food walk takes that decision off you. Each stop is chosen, and you see where the locals queue.
Every food and wine tour pours wine as part of the ticket on its full option. On the 20-tasting walk it is poured freely at four venues. On the Via della Scala pairing you get five named wines, from prosecco to Barolo. The cooking classes pour wine too, but no sightseeing walk does.
The longer walks build in a seated stop, usually pasta, usually two-thirds of the way through. That is the difference between a meal and a string of snacks. Plan to skip dinner afterwards.
The evening departures leave as the tables come out on the cobbles, and the twilight walk is timed for exactly that. If your evenings are taken, the Taste Rome walk from Tiber Island also runs at 10:30 in the morning.
Both end with you full, and both pour wine. The question is whether you want to eat other people's cooking in several places, or make two pastas yourself in one kitchen.
| Food and wine tour | Cooking class | |
|---|---|---|
| Where you are | Four to seven stops across the lanes | One kitchen, for about three hours |
| What you eat | Deli, street food, pasta, gelato | What you made, plus a starter and dessert |
| On your feet | Walking between stops, on cobbles | Standing at a counter, then seated |
| What you see of Trastevere | The lanes, squares and shopfronts | Very little beyond the door |
| Fare | $45 to $211 a head | $55 to $147 a head |
| Best for | A first evening in the quarter | Taking a recipe home |
If the recipe is the point, the Trastevere pasta class is the lowest class fare, and it meets in Piazza di San Giovanni della Malva before three hours in a kitchen reserved for the class.
Two hours at a Via della Scala wine bar, five Italian wines from prosecco to Barolo, each with a plate to match, and gelato.
