Instead of traveling to a distant vineyard, food and wine lovers can experience the rich viticultural heritage of Italy right here on Paradise Road, minutes from the Strip.

1. “Taste & Learn” Monthly Wine Dinners ($125 – $150 / person)

Ferraro’s flagship monthly wine event, Taste & Learn, brings distinguished Italian wine producers and estate owners directly to your table.

  • The Cost: Typically $125 – $150 per person (all-inclusive of tax and gratuity depending on featured labels).

  • The Experience: An intimate, four-course dinner crafted by Executive Chef Mimmo Ferraro paired with four to five rare or prestigious regional Italian wines (such as Barolo, Brunello di Montalcino, or Amarone).

  • Best For: Groups, couples, and wine collectors seeking an educational, highly social fine-dining evening.

2. “Volare” Lounge & Bar Flight Experience ($38)

For a relaxed, late-afternoon or early-evening tasting, Ferraro’s offers casual flight options during our Las Vegas Happy Hour and lounge service.

  • The Cost: $38 per person.

  • The Experience: Includes three light Italian bites paired with three distinct glass pours curated by our sommelier team.

  • Best For: After-work drinks, pre-show dining, or travelers wanting a quick tasting experience without committing to a full multi-course dinner.

3. Chef’s Tasting Menu with Wine Pairing ($65 Add-On)

If you prefer an individualized dining pace, you can explore our Italian menu and add curated wine pairings to Chef Mimmo’s authentic multi-course Italian tasting menu.

  • The Cost: $140 per person for the tasting menu + $65 per person for the wine pairing.

  • The Experience: Course-by-course pairings highlighting native Italian grape varieties designed to elevate dishes like our famous Osso Buco or hand-made fine dining pastas.

  • Best For: Special occasions, anniversaries, and romantic dinners.

What Factors Impact the Cost of Wine Tasting?

When evaluating wine tasting options across Las Vegas, prices depend heavily on four factors:

  1. Bottle Rarity & Origin: Single-vineyard vintages and rare Italian DOCG bottles carry higher production costs than high-yield commercial pours.

  2. Food Pairing Quality: True wine tasting is elevated by food. Learning how to pair wines with Italian dishes creates a significantly higher-value experience than standalone wine pours.

  3. Sommelier Expertise: Guided tastings hosted by certified sommeliers or visiting winemakers provide expert education on terroir, vintage conditions, and tasting notes.

  4. Strip vs. Off-Strip Pricing: Off-Strip venues like Ferraro’s offer premium cellar selections without the inflated resort markups found inside Strip casinos.
