Wine was more than a drink in the ancient Roman world; it was a symbol of culture, commerce, and daily life across the empire.

Join us for an engaging lecture and wine tasting that explores the role of wine in Roman society, from vineyard cultivation to the amphorae that carried it across vast trade networks. Discover how viticulture shaped Roman identity, economy, and social customs while helping connect distant regions of the Mediterranean world.

As you learn about the archaeological and historical evidence behind Roman wine production and trade, you’ll also enjoy a guided tasting that draws connections between ancient practices and the wines we enjoy today.

This program is perfect for history enthusiasts and wine lovers alike. Participants must be 21+.
