1.Bologna Food Experience: Factory tours & Family-Style Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,201 reviews · 9 hours (approx.) · from $216Our pick

Bologna factory tours of Parmigiano Reggiano, prosciutto and Modena balsamic, finished with a wine-paired family lunch.

“This tour is well worth the money - the amount of food on offer alone is astounding! For lunch, we started with a beautiful spread of Italian meats, and sides, and then moved onto four courses of pasta followed by dessert! The wine was flowing and the hospitality of the team ensured the experience finished with a bang through karaoke and dancing. Elena was so knowledgeable about all of the processes when giving the tour ensuring we took away plenty of knowledge. We particularly loved learning about balsamic vinegar, and the samples on offer were a huge bonus. I would recommend this to anyone, it’s a great way to meet…”

“We spent a lovely morning at a producer of parmigiana reggiano and a producer of dop balsamico outside Modena. A private driver picked us up at the train station and brought us to each location. He was prompt and professional but didn’t speak much English. The tours themselves were both excellent. We learned a lot about the making of both delicacies and got to taste plenty of each! The cheese is made early in the morning so if you show up after 11 am you won’t get to see that part. The estate where the balsamico is made also served us a light lunch that was delicious. We were dropped…”

But better than the lesson was the pleasure of Antonia’s company. This was the highlight of our stay in Parma.”
