Description - What to expect

Start your Emilia Romanga food tour with a hassle-free pick-up from your hotel and then head toward a dairy production site in Emilia Romagna. Listen to your host and learn how the iconic Parmigiano Reggiano is formed from milk after 36 months. Tour the facility with a guide and learn about the production of the world's favorite cheese.

Sample the delicious product before heading to Acetaia, where you'll see how the traditional balsamic vinegar of Modena is made. Taste some of the so-called gold of Modena and learn how grapes can convert into sublime balsamic vinegar through a completely natural process.

Next to your Emilia Romanga food tour head to a wine cellar to sample some of the region’s finest wines - Lambrusco and Pignoletto. Lambrusco is an ancient red wine, said to have been enjoyed as long ago as the Etruscan era! Pignoletto is a white wine loved by all Bolognese locals, whether it is for a family meal, a day off work, or simply while enjoying life. Taste some of this local delight and then end your tour with a two-course lunch in a traditional Italian restaurant. Return to your hotel in Bologna around 3.00 pm.
