Overview

Emilia-Romagna is known as Italy's Food Valley, where you can find a variety of foods and culinary customs, including famous products like Parmigiano Reggiano and Aceto Balsamico. During this tour, you will have the chance to explore and taste the most iconic Emilian products that have maintained their authentic quality over the centuries. We will meet at 8:30 am at Reggio Emilia's central train station, located in Piazzale Guglielmo Marconi, in front of the main entrance. Our first stop will be at the Parmigiano Reggiano dairy farm, where you will see how the cheese is made and have a guided tasting. Our second stop will be at an "Acetaia" where you will learn about Traditional Balsamic Vinegar's production and have a guided tasting. To complete your foodie experience in Emilia, you can choose between a local wine or charcuterie tasting or a guided walking tour of the city with a lunch included at a local restaurant.

Itinerary

  • N/A

    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.

    1 hour

  • N/A

    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.

Outstanding tour!

Published on Nov, 2024

Alessandro was our guide through the Reggio Food Tour, despite of being a really expert on the matter, providing useful information and helping clarify the process of production of the parmigiano reggiano, the balsamic and also the wines, Alessandro was really kind, attentive and commited to give us the best experience ever. This tour is highly recommended by me and my family. We had lots of fun while getting to know how these amazing products are produced, trying them and seeing with our own eyes all the steps taken to produce the best italian parmigiano reggiano, balsamic and wines.

Excellent! - A must do.

Published on Jun, 2024

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!

An absolute highlight!

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!

Perfect way to learn about Emilia Reggio from a local

Published on Dec, 2023

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.

Parmesan factory tour

This was a lovely tour with Alessandro. He was an excellent guide, very knowledgeable and interesting. The parmesan cheese factory tour was fascinating! We had an amazing day!
