about this tour
This seven day journey offers a balanced introduction to Emilia Romagna, blending noted food traditions, cultural landmarks, and time spent in both historic cities and the countryside. With a steady mix of guided experiences and time at leisure, the itinerary provides a clear understanding of the region’s food culture and the places that have shaped it. Your experience begins in Bologna, where medieval streets, porticoed lanes, and local shops introduce you to the flavours that define this celebrated gastronomic centre. In Modena, you gain insight into regional production with visits to a Parmigiano dairy and a traditional vinegar factory, followed by free time in the city and the option to visit the Enzo Ferrari Museum. Ravenna adds an artistic contrast through its UNESCO listed Byzantine mosaics, while a pasta class in the city centre with a marietta offers an enjoyable way to learn regional techniques. You then travel into the countryside near Rimini for a truffle hunt followed by a meal that highlights the ingredient through seasonal dishes. The journey continues in the hills, where a visit to a winery includes a tour of the cellars and a tasting that reflects local winemaking heritage. Throughout the tour, planned experiences highlight the region’s traditions, from foods to notable landmarks. Whether walking through city centres, learning from local cooks, or sampling products at their source, each day adds depth to your understanding of Italy’s culinary regions.
