Detailed itinerary

Experience the flavours of the Roman Empire with this real roman wine tasting. Visit the roman house Casa de la Fortuna of Cartagena and feel like 2000 years ago.

The experience is a journey back in time through the senses, tasting products and wines as they were made in Roman times.
This experience is possible by recreating the wines and products such as cheese and sauce made from the studies of various universities in Spain from the remains found in the excavations.

Live a few minutes as a roman accompanied by our experts who will push the button of this time machine. This includes a visit to the Casa de La Fortuna (if it is Monday and it is not open we will see other ruins from the outside) and to Cartago Mundi, the local store where you can dress up as a Roman and buy nice souvenirs in their little boutique.
