What can I possibly say about Rocco Trombetta!? He is a master of his craft! He is INCREDIBLY patient as I had to postpone our event several times. He was communicative, followed up, and checked in which was so refreshing! He hosted a Holiday Party for my office last night and kept 20+ people engaged and listening for the ENTIRE time! He was charming, funny, witty, and really passionate about his work. He is knowledgeable in all things wine and is humble and so sweet! BOOK HIM! He is fantastic and we will book him again for future events! Bravo, Rocco! Thank you so much!

Rocco was great for my 40th birthday party. We had a great time and learned so much about Italian wine. I 1000% recommend him. It’s a fun and cool way to celebrate a 40th birthday party.

I would hire Rocco over and over again! Wish I could select Value and Punctuality as well but it would only allow me to select three descriptors. Rocco was so knowledgeable, entertaining, and everyone loved him! Highly recommend!!!

Rocco is a great time. Very entertaining. Good wines. Rocco is super personable and was a treat. He came to our home and set up while we were at a banquet. We came back and Rocco was ready to go. If you’re looking to add class to a weekend trip or evening with friends and family, this is a great choice.

I had hired Rocco for my wife’s 40th birthday party and it was a surprise party. Rocco was very helpful from the onset in helping me plan the wine tasting segment of the event which turned out to be an instant hit. Rocco’s knowledge of Italy and the wines from across Italy is a such a pleasant experience as we built our birthday celebration theme around and our friends that attended the event such a high quality blind wine tasting experience. I strongly recommend Rocco to take whatever event you are planning a notches above.

Rocco led a wine tasting event for my father-in-law’s 60th birthday. There were six people at our event, and he did a great job engaging us – with fantastic story-telling, which educated us on the various Italian wine types and regions. My father-in-law, who is very into wine education, was particularly impressed and said it was the best wine tasting class he had experienced. We’d happily recommend Rocco again. Thanks Rocco for making his birthday one to remember!

Rocco is great! I booked him on behalf of a corporate group meeting in-house, in our hotel, and they loved him! Rocco is so nice and genuine and you can just feel how passionate he is about wine, just by standing near him! The wine tasting dinner he hosted for my group was a major hit. I will definitely be recommending Rocco as the sommelier to any future groups of mine that inquire about a possible wine tasting.

I hired Rocco for a small surprise party for my wife. He made the event exceptional! Everyone had a beautiful time! He was informative, funny, and kept everyone engaged. Rocco brought a fantastic selection of wines and gave me a list of cheese and meat options to buy and set out for the guests. He was very thorough. We had such a fantastic time! I would recommend him to anyone! Thanks Rocco!

I hired Rocco for my sister’s bridal shower- he was excellent!! Rocco is professional, fun, entertaining, kind, and a true pro of wines. I hired him last minute and he was very accommodating and willing to help bring my Somm vision to life. Hire Rocco, you will have a wonderful event and absolutely not be disappointed!

Rocco was a true pleasure to have as my Sommelier for my wine tasting event. He was very informative and interactive with the crowd. His knowledge of the wines and background of wine making is impressive. Also, If he had another life choice he could be a comedian as well. I look forward to working with him at my future events. Thank you Rocco for being the cherry on the top of the event!

Rocco hosted a private wine tasting event for my wife’s birthday. We had a small group and Rocco did a fantastic job not only educating us about Italian wine but also having fun with us. Rocco brought great selections of wine that we have already ordered to have in our home. We can’t recommend Rocco enough and we are looking forward to more events with him in the future.

Rocco is the real deal. He shared his passion for wine and tailored the presentation for our group. Many of us had little to no experience with fine wines. We learned a lot laughed a lot and enjoyed our time together. The night checked all the boxes for us. Given the chance we will have Rocco again and open the event up to more people. Rocco – Salute!

We asked Rocco to come to our house and hold a wine tasting experience for 9 adults. Rocco was punctual and arrived early. He was warm and friendly and immediately hit it off with my entire family. Rocco wqs knowledgable- and even incorporated wine from my families native region in Italy. The first part of the tasting was a brief history and guide of Italian wine. We spent the second half tasting, laughing, talking, and eating. Overall this was a 5 star experience that everyone in my family loved. I would recommend this experience to anyone looking to do something a bit different. If you or someone you know is interesting in learning about wine, it’s history, how it’s made, how to taste it- Rocco is your guy.

It is very evident that you love your profession and easily illustrates your dedication. Dominic

Rocco responded to my inquiry within a day and thoroughly explained the ins and outs of how the evening would flow. My guests were extremely pleased with the event! Rocco was professional engaging and kept the mood light and interactive. I highly recommend him if you’re looking to do a similar event!

Rocco was great!! If there was 10 stars I would give him 15!!! We were a party of 10, some with more knowledge about wine than others, ages ranging from 37-70, and we all enjoyed the experience he provided. I would definitely book another party with Rocco!
