Visite privée Parmigiano, Prosciutto, Balsamico avec chauffeur-Bologne

This has been the best food experience tour we had. Luca is a very knowledgeable tour guide and passionate about all the foods we visited. He provided us with an amazing experience that my family will never forget. Thanks again Luca!!!

This trip/ tour was worth every single penny. Luca picked us up and we stopped at a parmesean cheese farm and saw how it was made. Our next stop was a meat factory with so much prosciutto. We got to eat a variety of different meat & drink Lambrusco! Our last stop was my favorite - a balsamic vinegar farm. This tour was perfect - probably my favorite thing I’ve ever done.

Our guide, Roberta, was wonderful with excellent English. She talked enough but not too much like some guides can. She was informative and fun! The three production farms we toured were fabulous and so welcoming. Loved all the information, the sights, the smells, and especially the tastings!

Fantastic tour with a private guide and driver for a half day. Very glad we booked in order to see a family-run prosciutto operation. That was the highlight of the tour and not something we were able to find elsewhere! 10/10 would do this again.

It is a wonderful explanation of how the cheese is made and aged. I especially enjoyed learning how the prosciutto is preserved and tested for age. The balsamic distillation process was amazing and the family is so dedicated to the making and aging of the vinegar. I have never tasted anything like their vinegar. Fredrica was fantastic. She took extra time to show us the towers and a place for lunch. Stefano our driver made the tour special with his stops for photos and even a roadside stand to buy the famous cherries.

If you are visiting Emilia-Romagna, especially for food, this tour is a must do! Our guide, Federica was amazing!! You could tell she knows everything about the proscuitto, reggiano, and balsamic. She is a true professional and had a great rapport with the places we visited. Learning about how everything is made, and by the small business owners of the area - steeped in family history. It was an incredible experience. We were our own small group of 8 so the personalized attention was greatly appreciated. The ride was very comfortable and it felt like we made new friends. The only 'issue' was that the person at the balsamic shop was by herself, so it made for feeling a bit rushed when we were trying to figure out our purchases. Other than that, we would do this again and would want Federica as our guide. So interesting and so very tasty. Thank you

Valentina was a fantastic guide. Knowledgeable, personable, informative, but most importantly made sure we had a fun time. Would fully recommend this tour to another group that wanted to get out of Bologna and have a memorable experience. All three tours within this package were just the right length of time and certainly worth the excursion to try some of the best Italy has to offer in terms of food quality and experience.

Our guide, Luca, was incredible, and we enjoyed our Parmigiano, Prosciutto, and Balsamic Vinegar tour immensely. First, we visited a factory where they make parmigiano reggiano cheese. The process was fascinating, and we got to sample both fresh ricotta and aged parmigiano reggiano. They were each the best I’ve had in my life. Next, we visited a chateau where a family creates “traditional” balsamic vinegar of Modena. It is wholly different than the balsamic vinegar of Modena sold in most grocery stores, and the production process was fascinating. Finally, we visited a faculty where they age legs or ham to produce Prosciutto. At the end, we sampled some of the meat, which is so much radically better than what you can buy in the U.S. What really set this tour over the top, though, was our guide, Luca. He is a native of Bologna, and he is incredibly proud of the region’s fine culinary tradition. His enthusiasm was contagious, and he regaled us with stories about growing up with such fine foods, and short historical anecdotes about the towns we passed through on our way to each destination. He even gave us some stellar restaurant recommendations for dinner once we returned. This tour really was a highlight of our recent Italian vacation, and I cant recommend it highly enough.

A great experience. The guide was very knowledgable about the history and details of these special local products as well as learning about the local wines and their other big crop, cherries. The tour was quite in depth and we got to see all of the steps of the processes and there was plenty to taste and a greal lunch. Another treat was that we got to visit a producer of Prosciutto de Modena, which is only produced by 10 purveyors and is extremely hard to find outside the nearby countries (Prociutto de Parma is made by over 100 purveyors). Also worthy of note is that the staff at the pruveyors was very friendly. Highly recommend this tour with this operator (Slow Emotion).

Must-do, amazing, and indelible tour of the famous products of the Emilia-Romagna region! Luca our tour guide was incredibly welcoming and knowledgeable and often checks in to make sure our needs are all met. He's also a great photographer to help us capture the amazing moments of our trip. 10 out of 10!
