A Stroll Through Bologna’s Enchanting Hills

As the sun rises over Bologna on April 5th, the city awakens to a day of clear skies and gentle breezes, perfect for a leisurely exploration of its picturesque surroundings. The Metropolitan City of Bologna, with its rolling hills and lush vineyards, offers a serene escape from the bustling city center. Begin your day with a Wine Tour that promises not only a taste of the region’s finest wines but also a visual feast of the splendid hills that cradle these historic vineyards.

The tour starts in the morning, allowing you to bask in the warmth of the sun as you traverse the vineyards. The experience is a journey through time, as you visit two historic cellars, each with its own story to tell. The knowledgeable guides will walk you through the winemaking process, from grape to glass, and you’ll have the opportunity to taste a selection of local wines paired with traditional foods. As one recent review noted on 2023-09-15,

A great experience - Both vineyards offered a variety of very nice wines paired with local food. Our guides were knowledgeable and friendly. We’ve been on a lot of wine tours, but this was definitely one of the best.

The tour concludes with a delightful lunch in one of the cellars, where you can savor the rich flavors of the area and its culinary traditions. With the sun setting at 7:47 PM, there’s ample time to return to the city and enjoy a leisurely evening stroll through Bologna’s charming streets.

Culinary Delights in the Countryside

On April 6th, the weather takes a turn with partly cloudy skies and a chance of rain, but this only adds to the charm of a cozy afternoon spent in the countryside. Embrace the cooler temperatures and potential rain showers by immersing yourself in a Cooking Class that promises warmth and hospitality in the heart of Bologna’s hills.

The class begins at 2:30 PM, offering a perfect escape from the city as you are whisked away to an organic farm nestled 15 km from Bologna. Here, under the guidance of a professional chef, you’ll learn to prepare traditional Bolognese dishes, from hand-rolled pasta to delectable desserts. The experience is intimate and personal, as one review from 2025-01-05 highlights,

Must do! One of the best experiences! - We are a family who loves private and unique tours while on holiday and this cooking experience at Elizabetta’s farm was one of the most authentic and memorable experiences we would recommend to anyone.

As the rain patters gently on the roof, you’ll enjoy the fruits of your labor, dining in the cozy warmth of the farmhouse or, weather permitting, in the garden. The class concludes at 7:30 PM, leaving you with a satisfied palate and a heart full of memories.
