    Amazing experience! It's a must-do. When it came to booking, I had a few queries. Alessandro responded promptly and comprehensively, instilling the confidence to secure the tour for my husband and me. Alessandro told me that Valentina, our tour guide, would contact me. Two days before the tour, she texted me to ask if I had any questions and to arrange the pick-up at Reggio Emilia's train station. She was punctual on the day tour, and we had the exciting experience of starting our tour at 8:30 a.m. with another couple, setting the tone for a well-organized and enjoyable day. We visited three factories: cheese, cured meats, and balsamic vinegar. Each experience was unique, and Valentina was well-informed about each process. She responded to all our questions and was very passionate about each product. We met the factory owners and had product testing and the opportunity to buy products. It was exquisite to see the owners working along with the employees and how proud they are of their products. The tour pace was very comfortable—not too slow or rushed. We had the time to enjoy it. At the end of the tour, Valentina gave us recommendations for lunch at a local restaurant. She kindly made a reservation and even drove us there! Five stars! You won't go wrong with this tour. Thank you, Valentina and Alessandro!

    Alessandro and our tour were incredible! He accommodated our large family, had lots of information at each site, and answered every question! He also went out of his way to organize a lunch reservation for after the tour and recommended a beautiful vineyard for us to visit later that day!

    The tour was absolutely beautiful! It was just me and my mother because it is low season so we were so pleased having Alessandro all to ourselves listening to stories of the land, producers, Italian life. Would highly recommend this to everyone! Felt like you were in your local friend’s car as he explained about his passionate town.

    Alessandro was friendly, personable and really informative at all three stops we went to - a mid -size Parmigiana producer, a family owned salami producer, and a balsamic vinegar producer. The family owned businesses were special and not things you would likely have access to on your own. The reason I gave this 4 and not 5 stars is because I don't think this is a very good value for what it is, it felt overpriced.

    Latteria Sociale Paverazzi

    Parmigiano Reggiano is a hard-paste, long-aged cheese. Its ingredients are natural and simple: real cow's milk, rennet, the producers' professional experience and natural ageing. The Caseificio Boiardo produces on average about 30,000 wheels of Parmigiano Reggiano per year, together with other fresh cheeses such as ricotta, mozzarella and other dairy products, all made following the ancient traditions. During this first stop, you'll have the unique opportunity to see the Parmigiano Reggiano production in every single step, from the milk collection to the ageing process. After the visit, you'll have the opportunity to taste some exquisite samples directly from the production.

    Acetaia Picci S.N.C.

    The Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Reggio Emilia is obtained thanks to a very long ageing (minimum twelve years) of the boiled must of local grapes, in a series of small barrels made from different woods with graduated sizes, according to annual decanting and periodical refilling. The Acetaia Picci is situated in a 17th-century courtyard in Cavriago, near Reggio Emilia, a place of unforgettable charm. During the visit, you'll have the chance to understand the ancient process of making traditional balsamic vinegar. After the visit, you'll savour the intense, delicious aromas of the balsamic through a very detailed tasting experience.
