Had the most wonderful tour with Michelle exploring the best foods Parma has to offer. She explained everything in amazing detail and clearly has deep expertise in food, wine, and tourism. Could not recommend this experience more highly - if you’re reading this review, go ahead and book your tour! You won’t regret it.
Hi Charlotte, Thank you so much for choosing us, it was such a joy to guide you and your family to discover the culinary delights of Emilia! And thank you for choosing a slow-paced gastronomic experience. These wonderful products deserve the right amount of time to be shared, savored, and understood. We hope to have you as our guests again. Warm regards, Michelle Valeria Costa
Our tour guide, Lisa, was exceptional. Highly motivated and knowledgeable. She was genuine, professional, and personable. The tour exceeded our expectations. The master and crew at the dairy were impressive. Thanks also to Parma ham for opening their business to us.
Hi Michael, Thank you for your amazing review. We’re happy to hear that you enjoyed the experience and Lisa’s personality. We’re grateful to our partners at the Parmigiano Reggiano Dairy and Parma Ham Plant, who always welcome our guests with such generosity and hospitality. It’s wonderful to know the day left a lasting impression! Thank you again for choosing Artemilia. Best regards, Michelle Costa
Beatrice was our guide and WOW! What an experience. She was knowledgeable, friendly, excellent at explaining the details and had a clear command of the intricacies of the making of both parmigiana and prosciutto. We wrapped the day up at the loveliest spot for lunch. We had my 6 year old with us who was the most curious and Beatrice explained this to her kindly and patiently.
It warms our hearts knowing that your daughter enjoyed the experience. We love guiding families with young kids to see the production facilities and we think that the Slow Parma Food Experience Half Day Private Tour and Tasting is one of the best options for families like yours. We hope to have a chance to meet you in Emilia Romagna soon. Best regards, Michelle Costa
Absolutely fantastic experience with Michelle! My family stopped in Parma during our most recent trip to Italy and went on the Slow Parma Food Experience. Michelle was excellent, knowledgeable and engaging throughout the experience. We brought our two small children (4 and 7) on the tour and Michelle went above and beyond to engage both of them in the tour and, to their great joy, brought them to see baby cows! The tour of the Parmigiano Reggiano factory was the highlight with the aforementioned cows adding icing on the cake for the experience. The tasting was generous and delicious. Lunch was equally delicious and the setting breathtaking. Will absolutely book another tour when we return to Emilia Romagna in the future!
We really enjoyed this tour! Watching the actual process of making parmigiano was so interesting and our guide was very knowledgeable about the process for both the parmigiano and the prosciutto di Parma. She knew the staff at both locations by name and we were the only tourists there, no other large groups also touring, which made it feel very personal and special. I also thought it was really cool that the prosciutto di Parma factory we went to is 4th generation family women-owned and run! The lunch was fantastic quality at a lovely agriturismo. The whole experience was great!
My family did a slow food tour with Michelle through the Emillia Region during our trip to Italy. We wanted to visit local, organic, family producers that showcased the authentic practices of the food valley, and did not want a touristy, commercial experience. I found Artemilia online, and they exceeded everyone's expectations and created a day that was a once in a lifetime experience. Michelle is passionate about the traditions of the food valley and is extremely knowledgeable about the history of the region. She has deep relationships with local producers, which got us into some incredible locations. Her way of storytelling is engaging and personable. During our day, we visited a local dairy farm, traditional balsamic producer, organic winery/vineyard (where we had a fantastic lunch), and prosciutto factory. All of the visits were intimate/private, included tastings of some of the highest quality products that we've had, and were beyond informative and hands-on. My husband equated the day to a Stanley Tucci experience, which I believe to be the ultimate compliment. If you are visiting the area and want to immerse yourself in the local practices which make this region the food capital of Italy, and arguably the world, you should 100% book with Artemilia.
One of the best tours we’ve had in Italy. Roberta was so friendly and very knowledgeable about the cheese making process and prosciutto making process. We included lunch with our tour. We went to a great restaurant with a beautiful view. I would definitely recommend!
My fiance and I had a wonderful day with Michelle touring the parmegianno regianno and prosciutto de Parma plants. The drive was also very beautiful. We had an amazing lunch featuring local pasta, wine, dessert, and Nocino. Michelle was on time, extremely knowledgeable, and provided recommendations for aperitivo and dinner in Parma the evening after the tour. We would highly recommend booking Michelle for this tour. We learned a lot and ate wonderfully well!
Barbara P was a fantastic tour guide! She provided very descriptive information about the food and the way Parma Cheese and Ham are made. She took us to a lovely lunch overlooking a vineyard with spectacular food. She answered all of my father’s questions and was very accommodating with his wheelchair. You won’t be disappointed!!!
This tour is in my top five days of my entire life. I know that sounds hyperbolic, but this tour is worth every penny and then some. My husband and I are both vegetarian cheese-lovers who adore parmesan and an excellent wine tasting, and when I asked Michelle Costa of Artemilia to design a custom tour (based on this one, without parma ham) for us, she delivered an absolutely incredible day. We spent the morning (7:30am pickup from our hotel) doing a private tour of the parmesan cheese factory, where Michelle is a super expert and explained every step of the process in completely fascinating detail, along with a ton of interesting history about parmesan itself. We then went to the farm where they source the milk (and got to meet the cows and a really cute dog), and did a guided cheese tasting with Michelle (with tasting notes!) with parmesan of different ages. From there, we did a tour and tasting of a traditional balsamic vinegar producer, which was VERY interesting and delicious and not to be missed, followed by a wonderful lunch and organic wine tasting at an eco-friendly and gorgeous agriturismo, and ended with a final wine tasting at a lovely hilltop winery. I've done private tours before, and sometimes they can feel awkward or forced. That is not the case with Michelle. She is an absolute gem and could not be easier to talk to. We spent the entire day with her, and not only is she an absolutely stellar tour guide in terms of planning out the day, she has a deep knowledge base in art history, Italian and regional history, food, and wine, and she answered every single one of my (MANY) questions with enthusiasm. :-) 12/10 would recommend this tour and anything else she puts together. Thank you for making my parmesan dreams come true, Michelle! Your tour was one for the books!
