ViniAmo
The capital's premier wine tasting event in the EUR district
About ViniAmo
ViniAmo, the Rome wine tasting
ViniAmo is the event that transforms the Hotel Cristoforo Colombo, in the EUR district of Rome, into a vast, immersive tasting room. Created to bring wine culture to the capital, the event brings together Italian wineries from North to South, international selections, and an audience of enthusiasts, collectors, sommeliers, and industry professionals. The fourth edition was held on Sunday, March 29, 2026.
Over 350 wines for tasting
The heart of the event is the tasting counters: over 350 labels available for sampling, with hundreds of wines from small niche wineries alongside international excellence. Alongside the producers, a large food area offers cured meats, cheeses, first courses, and artisanal desserts, while spaces dedicated to spirits are also available. The hotel's indoor and outdoor spaces make the tasting experience dynamic and relaxed.
The masterclasses
The true added value of ViniAmo is its thematic masterclasses, led by experts with limited seating. The 2026 edition's journey starts in France—Chardonnay and Cabernet Franc between Burgundy and the Loire Valley—moves through a blind tasting of Italian wines, reaches Mount Etna with the Consorzio di Tutela dei Vini Etna DOC, and concludes with a focus on Lazio wines curated by Le Donne del Vino. It is a way to explore territories and styles guided by those who know them best.
An event for enthusiasts and professionals
ViniAmo is designed for both wine lovers and professionals: alongside open tastings, there are opportunities for producers to meet HoReCa operators, with dedicated accreditation for restaurateurs, wine shop owners, and distributors. The event is organized by Minelli Wine Events, a company founded by Stefano Minelli to promote wine culture in Rome and the Lazio region.
Rome and Lazio in the glass
While maintaining a national and international outlook, ViniAmo keeps a strong bond with the territory: the Lazio region and its wineries are featured in the program every year, with the participation of local producers and dedicated insights. For those visiting Rome, it is an opportunity to discover a lesser-known but growing wine scene, from the Castelli Romani to the hills of Tuscia.
