Vinòforum returns to Rome, showcasing some of the best Italian and international wines, and food.

This year it takes a change of direction, with a series of culinary and wine-tasting events being held in restaurants and wine bars as part of Vinòforum Around from 29 May-5 June, while the festival continues from 6-21 June at Lungotevere Maresciallo Diaz (Farnesina).

Along with the chance to sample a wide range of red, white and sparkling wines, visitors can taste a variety of Italian and international gastronomic specialties prepared by top Italian chefs.

Last year the festival celebrated its tenth anniversary and welcomed around 44,000 visitors.
