Tour Highlights
Full Description
What sets it apart is direct access to real producers — working dairies, acetaie, and wineries — where visits and tastings are led by the people who actually make Parmigiano Reggiano, Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena, and Lambrusco. Nothing is staged or rushed.
Unlike standard food tours, this experience also includes skip-the-line entry to the Ferrari Museum, creating a unique link between Emilia-Romagna’s culinary heritage and its Motor Valley legacy.
With small groups (max 8 guests), a relaxed countryside lunch at a producer’s estate, and convenient pickup options, this tour delivers maximum value, authenticity, and comfort in one unforgettable day.
