SPECIAL two events for one price!
Your ticket to access the Wine and Food show at Sala San Marco will also give you access to the olive oil and balsamic vinegar show at DiVino Wine Studio (we are located beside one another).

No other country is more closely associated with olive oil than Italy. The olive tree was introduced into southern Italy by Greeks circa 600 BC, but it was the Romans who spread olive culture throughout the Mediterranean and mastered its cultivation and extraction. So cherished was olive oil that by the 4th Century AD, the City of Rome, itself, had 2,300 olive oil distributors!
Today Italy boasts more olive oil DOPs than any other country. (DOP=Denominazione Origine Protetta)
