Incredible Food Tour Experience With True Family Heritage and Pride Throughout - Such an amazing day. Not just the tastings but the education we received together with a taste of their family pride and traditions. It was truly something to remember and which we will relive each time we have parmesano or balsamico or lambrusco!!

Wonderful Food Tour - This was approximately an 8 hour tour. Mateo was our give for the day. What a great day. It started with watch Parmigiano-Reggiano being made then a tasting. My favorite was the 36 month. Then onto an incredible balsamic vinegar tasting at a small local producer where we bought a 30 year bottle to take home. We next went to a small vintner for Lambrusco wine, then a great lunch. I would recommend this tour if you have a day you need to fill.

Fun, food, family - Each location was family-owned and the generational and regional pride was infectious. Our guide Matteo was informative and personable. We learned more on this tour than anything we could have read in books. Take this tour and you won’t regret it. Ciao!

Full Day Tour Outside Bologna - Phenomenal tour! Would 10/10 recommend. Alex and Steffy were a great team. Food was excellent and so was the winery. The Parmesan and balsamic spots were also great.

Delicious Bolonia - This food tour was truly one of a kind! We started the morning at a Parmesan cheese factory, and it was amazing to watch the process up close! the aroma, the sheer scale of the wheels, and the care that goes into each step was unforgettable. Next, we visited a traditional balsamic vinegar producer, where we learned how generations of patience and craftsmanship create such a rich, complex flavor. Next! we stopped at a Lambrusco winery and enjoyed tastings surrounded by the vinegards , relaxed and full of character. Every stop felt authentic and personal, and I came away with a whole new appreciation for these regional treasures. I can’t recommend this experience highly enough!

Amazing experience in Bologna - Our family had such a great time on this food tour! Even our teenagers were fascinated watching the Parmesan come to life in the factory, it was so much more impressive in person than we expected. The balsamic vinegar stop was a real surprise too, tasting how the flavors change over time was eye-opening. At the Lambrusco winery, everyone enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere (and the kids loved the grape juice while we tried the wine). The day ended with a hearty lunch and the most delicious tiramisu we’ve ever had. A perfect experience for families! Grazie Roberta, our guide for a wonderful day

Long, uncomfortable day with lots of down time - My husband and I prepaid but he chose not to board when he saw how cramped the van was (he is tall). The ride was uncomfortable. The van needs shock absorbers and better seatbelts. The tour guide was attentive and personal, but she provided almost no narration during the ride. We did not learn anything about Bologna or the region we visited, other than from the guides where we stopped. The description of the stops from the website was accurate. The food/wine were good, and plentiful. There was a lot of down time and waiting. It could have been condensed from 8.5 to 5-6 hours.
