We had the best time with Darren, while we were in Bologna. We did the walk around the city with great food, cheese, gelato and a stop at a local Osteria. That trip was an excellent time.
The best part came on Day 2 when we went to a Parmigiana producer, an Acetaia in Modena for a balsamic tasting and a Prosciutteria. In all of the locations, we got walked through with the production processes end to end. We sampled amazing cheese, amazing prosciutto and the Acetaia experience, was the crown jewel. We had the most amazing lunch at the Acetaia in a private room, with a two amazing bottles of D.O.P balsamic at each setting for you to try with all of the foods that were prepared specifically for the balsamic. In every case, I don't know how we could've had more enjoyment out of the trip.
Everything was absolutely spectacular. We were also able to make some shortstops along the way to see some very fantastic small castle towns. I would highly recommend Darren for a trip and request the trip that we did as well. It was a new one for his company and he was blown away himself. He is a very knowledgeable person in food and beverage, and is a pleasure to be around for a day.
