Bologna Food Experience : Factory tours & Lunch By Italiano Days

Wow, what a fun day! For the price, I definitely think we were generously fed and given very detailed and interesting tours of each factory. The day started with a tour of a Parmigiana factory where we saw all the steps in the process first-hand and could sample some fresh ricotta too. Then we went to a Balsamic Vinegar factory and were served a “breakfast of champions” with some of the authentic ingredients from our factory tours. It was really enjoyable to chat to everyone and hear from the tour guides. Lastly we went to a prosciutto factory and had a detailed tour, followed by the BEST lunch we’ve had in Italy. It was so much fun, the vibes were so energetic and joyful. The quality of the lunch was perfect, and the wine kept flowing. My husband and I are a bit introverted but honestly we’d highly recommend it still. We felt taken care of and comfortable the whole day, definitely don’t skip this one.

This tour was amazing! We learned so much about the production of each of the three foods and had a great time at the lunch afterward. The tour guide’s familiarity which the workers at each location means the tour takes you into the depths of each factory. We had a blast with Elena and Roberta! They really make sure everyone has a good time!

This was easily the best tour we did on our 2 week trip in Italy. Alessandro, Roberta, and the rest of the Italian Days team are incredible. We learned so much about the rich food culture in Modena/Emilia-Romagna. We got to taste everything we saw on our tour and had an absolute feast for both breakfast and lunch. A completely unforgettable day. Don’t hesitate to book this tour!

Our tour guide Alessandro was full of energy and passion when he was explaining the cheese making process of the parmigiana regianno. Then we had a wonderful experience at a traditional Acetaia where we met the 6th generation of balsamic producers where we enjoyed a wonderful breakfast which included Balsamic Vinegar tasting , our fill of parmigiano and of course Mortadella and local prosciutto which was washed down also with local sparkling Lambrusco. After breakfast we headed off to the prosciutto factory and here Alessandro gave us a wonderful and insightful tour of the different processes involved in manufacturing of prosciutto. Then for the great finale we had a magnificent lunch which included all the beautiful food from the Modena region including some dancing and karaoke. I would highly recommend this tour to my family and friends

An absolutely delightful experience! I went with my partner and another couple, and we all absolutely loved this tour. The staff is incredibly accommodating, especially with dietary restrictions. They made all vegetarian dishes for our friend, and she did not feel she missed out on any of the experience. We also had a member of our group with a gluten allergy that they accommodated beautifully as well. They offer other “fun” beverages besides wine for those who do not drink alcohol. This is an experience we will remember fondly from this trip. Be prepared to be stuffed with pasta and have a fabulous time!

Good food, good experience! Everything was super! Meet other people from all over the world and share the same experience🤌

Amazing Tour, highly recommend! The food and wine were delicious! It was a highlight of our trip and will do it again when we return !

This was the best tour I have ever been on. Elena was the most amazing guide. So knowledgeable, passionate and personable. Truly the best experience ever.

Excellent in every way! Visited 3 places over the day. Our guide, Julia, was the best. She was very knowledgeable of each stop and made the entire day so fun. The group was a good size, not too big which I think helped too. The pickup and drop off location was in the main piazza so easy for everyone to get to. It seems pricey, but is worth every penny. You won’t regret it.

Great tour and guide, very well organized! Meals were phenomenal. Not touristy!
