Hello fellow Wine Enthusiasts!

I am excited to share an exclusive event taking place at The Boca Raton from January 17th to 19th, 2025.

The "Artisans of Wine and Food" event is a sophisticated celebration of fine wine and food at The Boca Raton, welcoming bold flavors and unforgettable moments from more than 80 vineyards of Napa Valley to South Florida’s Atlantic Coast. Opt for an all-access pass to see and savor it all, or select individual events for a customized, à la carte experience.

Allow Trellis Travel to curate your experience at this three-day affair. Relish first tastes of new varietals hand-selected by the finest Napa Valley vintners. Delight in Vintner-Hosted dinners orchestrated by some of the world’s most celebrated chefs and wineries. Immerse yourself in one-of-a-kind experiences, from a Vintners Invitational Golf Tournament to an educational winemaker series, and more. How you sip and savor is entirely up to you.
The weekend comes to a crescendo during a grand gala destined to become a cherished annual tradition. Enjoy a four-course dinner artistically directed by Fabio Trabocchi, Michelin-Starred Chef and Restaurateur of Washington DC’s Fiola and Boca Raton’s Fiolina Ristorante. Then bring the experience home with the opportunity to bid on Napa Valley’s finest wines, luxurious experiences, and bespoke getaways. All proceeds benefit the Boys & Girls Clubs of Napa Valley & Palm Beach County.

With a roster of celebrated and Michelin-starred chefs and some of the most celebrated Napa Valley wineries, Artisans of Wine & Food will be the most coveted event of the season. Allow us to design an experience with full access to the three-day event, or to curate a more customized, à la carte experience, but reach out before tickets sell out. Reservations for each event are first-come, first-served.

Additionally, enjoy exclusive amenities and perks when you book your stay with us, on site at The Boca Raton. Trellis Travel is an exclusive Virtuoso recognized Travel Agency.

Rome from Above: The Can’t Miss Rooftop Retreats

Rome is a city that delights at every level, but there’s something truly magical about experiencing it from above. Rooftop restaurants and bars let you sip on an expertly crafted cocktail or savor an incredible meal while taking in panoramic views of ancient ruins, terracotta rooftops, and unforgettable sunsets. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion, winding down after a day of sightseeing, or just soaking up La Dolce Vita, these five top-rated rooftop venues promise to elevate your experience—literally.

La Terrazza at Hotel Eden
Perched atop the luxurious Hotel Eden, La Terrazza offers an unforgettable dining experience with 360-degree views of the Eternal City. This Michelin-starred restaurant is renowned for its impeccable service, refined Italian cuisine, and wine pairings. As you dine on dishes crafted with fresh, seasonal ingredients—think handmade pastas, premium meats, and delicate seafood—you can watch the sun set over the domes and spires of Rome. The combination of elegant ambiance, extraordinary food, and sweeping views makes La Terrazza a bucket-list experience for any traveler.

Aroma at Palazzo Manfredi
Imagine dining just steps from the Colosseum, with views so close you feel like you can reach out and touch this iconic landmark. Aroma, a Michelin-starred rooftop restaurant atop Palazzo Manfredi, offers that and so much more. The open-air terrace is an oasis of sophistication, perfect for a romantic evening or celebratory meal. Chef Giuseppe Di Iorio crafts a menu that marries modern flair with traditional Roman flavors, complemented by a well-curated wine list. Pair one of their signature dishes, like the indulgent cacio e pepe with truffle, with a handcrafted cocktail as the Colosseum glows in the evening light.

Terrazza Borromini
Located atop the historic Palazzo Pamphilj in Piazza Navona, Terrazza Borromini offers one of the most enchanting rooftop experiences in Rome. With a spectacular view of the bustling piazza below and St. Peter’s Basilica in the distance, this rooftop spot is ideal for both sunset aperitivo and late-night cocktails. The bar menu boasts artful, inventive drinks, and the food menu highlights Italian classics with modern twists. Don’t miss their seafood selections, which are as fresh as they are flavorful. The relaxed yet refined atmosphere makes it a perfect stop after a day of exploring.

Cielo at Hotel de la Ville
Cielo, located at the glamorous Hotel de la Ville near the top of the Spanish Steps, is a rooftop bar and restaurant that blends contemporary chic with timeless elegance. The terrace’s stylish decor and cozy seating areas create a luxurious ambiance, perfect for sipping cocktails while watching the city lights sparkle. The mixologists here are true artists, creating cocktails that are as beautiful as they are delicious, and the food menu features Mediterranean-inspired small plates that are perfect for sharing. Whether you’re enjoying an afternoon spritz or a late-night negroni, the views of Rome’s historic center are nothing short of breathtaking.

The Court at Palazzo Manfredi
While Aroma delivers fine dining, The Court, also located at Palazzo Manfredi, takes a more relaxed approach while still offering jaw-dropping views of the Colosseum. This trendy cocktail bar is the epitome of sophistication, known for its innovative drinks created by award-winning mixologists. Enjoy an aperitivo paired with gourmet bar bites as the Colosseum transforms from golden hour to nighttime illumination. The atmosphere is lively yet refined, making it one of the best spots in Rome for cocktails with a view.
From Michelin-starred dining to stylish cocktail bars, these rooftop venues in Rome combine the city’s timeless beauty with exceptional food, drinks, and ambiance. Whether you’re toasting to a perfect day or simply taking in the view, each of these spots promises a quintessential Roman experience that you’ll remember long after the night ends.
