In the Shadow of the Arena

In the Shadow of the Arena

Overview

A Wine Journey Through Ancient Rome

In the Shadow of the Arena is a refined sensory journey that blends exceptional wine with the dramatic history of Ancient Rome. Guided by a professional Master Sommelier certified by the Court of Master Sommeliers in New York, guests are introduced to four carefully selected quality wines, each chosen to reflect a chapter of Rome’s past.

Through storytelling and taste, this experience explores the world surrounding the gladiatorial games — the arenas where combat, spectacle, and survival defined public life. Beyond the sand and blood, the narrative reveals the strategic heart of Rome, the political power behind the games, and the territories that shaped the city’s dominance, including the historical significance of the Trastevere area.

Each glass becomes a gateway to understanding how wine, power, and spectacle were intertwined in Roman society, offering guests an intimate and immersive way to experience history beyond books and monuments.
