About this activity

A food and wine tour through breathtaking landscapes and unforgettable views.

A private local guide will be dedicated to you and your family throughout the day and will answer your questions, explaining what you are observing step by step.

Our experience starts in the early morning with a visit to a Parmigiano Reggiano dairy, a small company that handles the entire supply chain. You’ll see the whole production process of the king of cheeses. The visit will end with a delicious vertical tasting of cheese. You will learn how to taste it like a cheese sommelier, analyzing it through the sense of sight, smell and taste.

We will discover the secrets of Traditional Balsamic Vinegar, visiting a small family business tied to the territory and its traditions, soaking in the atmosphere of the old days. Our morning experience will end with a visit to an organic winery followed by lunch and wine tasting.

We will complete our food immersion with a visit to a Parma ham plant followed by tasting.
