    I did so much research into finding a food and wine tour. This is the one! We had an amazing day to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary. We were so well looked after throughout the day. We were taken to interesting places and met charming people. The ‘family-style’ lunch had a great vibe and the guides and staff are so passionate and enthusiastic. All this and the food, wow, wow, wow, just book it. You will not be disappointed!!

    What an incredible experience! I compared many different tours offered and I can say this was the BEST experience. Alessandro is so knowledgeable and entertaining and everyone involved in the tour makes sure you have a one of a kind experience. I could go on and on but let's just say that you can stop comparing tours and book this one and you're guaranteed to have an amazing time!

    This tour was incredible - we got a deep understanding of the production processes of Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, balsamic vinegar, and prosciutto. Alessandro was very helpful in guiding us through all the intricacies of these processes. Beyond that, the lunch that we had afterward may have been the most food I have ever eaten in a single sitting. Not only did we have an amazing starter of cured meats, but we then had 3 (three) pasta courses which all were delicious, topped off with ice cream with balsamic. I really can't thank Alessandro, Roberta and the rest of his team for this lovely tour.

    Such a memorable experience! This food tour greatly exceeded our expectations. If you are considering taking this food tour, do it! It was absolutely the beat part of our 2 week Italian vacation. We are a family if five with a 20 year old son, 15 year old daughter, and 7 year old daughter. Everyone had a blast! Alessandro is amazing and really put in effort to make sure our youngest had fun as well. Cannot reccomend this enough!

    What to expect

    Province of Modena

    We’ll start this incredible journey with an early pick up (around 7:00am) in Bologna with our private minivan or minibus to head to the countryside between Modena and Bologna. Why so early? Parmigiano Reggiano doesn’t wait! It’s made only in the early morning and we want you to get in action ASAP! We will see the cheesemakers taking care of all the production steps right before your eyes. You can touch the creamy curd, taste the cooked cheese and get absolutely stunned by the warehouse, where thousands of wheels all around you wait at least 12 months to be “baptized” as Parmigiano Reggiano. Time to taste it, what’d you expect? Young or aged, creamy or crunchy, delicate or intense: you can decide which of the 2 different-age samples is your favorite… or just love them both!

    Duration 60 minutes

    Monteveglio

    Third and last excellence to meet: meat (pun intended)! Prosciutto Factory Montevecchio’s products will conquer your palate with its fragrant smell, buttery texture and delicate savoriness. We’ll learn about the strict regulations, the long curing process, and the tremendous care necessary to transform only 2 ingredients into a typical product with unique characteristics. We’ll taste its wholesomeness and genuineness with other local charcuteries and a glass of Lambrusco, before a proper lunch is served!

    Duration 180 minutes

    Castelvetro di Modena

    Another gem of Emilia Romagna is waiting to be discovered: Traditional Balsamic vinegar of Modena. After our “breakfast of champions” with local salame, mortadella, homemade bread, cake, Lambrusco wine and coffee, we’ll lead you into a magical world of smells, flavors, patience, and family tradition you’ve never experienced before! In the aging room, surrounded by many peaceful barrels, the secrets of this complex, unique and fascinating product will be unveiled.

    Duration 120 minutes
