We enjoyed going to the Parmesan, prosciutto, and balsamic vinegar production sites. The samplings were delicious. The lunch was also delicious. Our host was knowledgeable and nice. The only surprise was that we thought we were being picked up at the train station for the day and it turned out we had to drive our own car around the countryside to the various cities. We were the only two people on the tour so I’m not sure how this would have been handled had there been more people.

Laura was able to get us to the parmesan factory early enough to see the cheese being pulled from the whey! Loved the parmesan, balsamic, and ham tastings. My favorite was 25 year balsamic, not what I expected. Laura and Riccardo were knowledge and pleasant - so happy we decided on a private tour.

I cannot express how amazing this private tour was. Laura is so communicative and intuitive. She wants to make sure you have an amazing time. I never met her in person but I just know she would have been a vibe if she was giving us the tour that day.
I made a mistake and didn't realize that Laura would track my train and be there exactly when the train arrived at 910. Thinking we had a few minutes to grab a coffee and a snack before 930, I felt so bad that Filippo was waiting outside for us. Thankfully, all was forgiven and we were able to head out almost on time.
I'm so grateful this was a private tour. It was the 4 of us with Filippo, traveling the gorgeous Emilia Romagna region between Parma and Reggio Emilia. The places you visit aren't set, so you may not go to the exact places we went, but I'm sure they are all amazing. Filippo told us that it varies because these are real working small businesses and honestly, this made me even happier we booked with Laura.
We started with balsamic in someone's attic. This was absolutely amazing to see. I hadn't realized all that went into making vinegar this way. It was amazing. I was also shocked at how much I didn't need translated. Was proud of myself! LOL!
Next, we checked out a reggiano parmigiano (yes, Filippo told us this is the way you should be saying it, darn Parma for taking the recognition) factory. Seeing the wheels of cheese and getting to taste all of the products was incredible.
Then we went to a salumificio, the same place we had an absolutely stunning lunch.
And to top it all off, we went to a vineyard and got to try some amazing wine. The vineyard was a surprise to me because when I spoke with Laura she said she would try to fit it in, but it depended on availability. So happy we were able to try their wines (and buy quite a few bottles.)
I cannot recommend Laura's Private Parma Food Tour enough. This was an amazing experience that I would do again and again.

This tour was truly an amazing experience from start to end. Laura reached out the day prior confirming pick up time and spot. Filippo was truly an engaging tour guide who drove us around all day . We loved everything about the tour- balsamic vineyard, Parmesan Reggiano tour and Prosciutto to finish up the day was perfect! Plus the bonus lunch was delicious and a great end of the tour!
I would highly recommend this tour!
