# Wine Tasting with Sommelier and Local Food at Lake Como

**Guidekin's take:** A tasting led by a sommelier in a wine shop in the centre of Como, a few steps from the old city walls, with four or five glasses explained by grape, region and method. Prosciutto crudo, cheeses and buffalo mozzarella come alongside, there is a vegetarian version, and the venue is wheelchair accessible. 4.8 from 226 reviews at €66 per person.

**A short tasting?:** For a short Como tasting, book Meat or Veggy: four wines with food, 1h at €66 per person, rated 4.8 from 226 reviews; more wines are extra. Trade-off: Additional wines are extra. (last checked September 26, 2026)

## Overview
