Description
Treat yourself to a full day of culinary excellence, departing conveniently from Florence's Santa Maria Novella. By high-speed train, you'll reach the culinary capital of Bologna in no time. This out-of-town trip is designed to offer you maximum flexibility: optimize your time by choosing the experience that best suits your wishes.
Those looking for a focused, top-quality experience can opt for the Parmigiano Reggiano food tasting. You will experience a true sensory journey through three different excellent aging periods (over 20, 30 and 40 months), expertly enhanced by pairing with artisanal preserves and honey, all accompanied by a glass of white or red wine.
Lovers of Emilian sparkling wines can instead choose the vertical tasting of Lambrusco. An expert will guide you through the discovery of three different labels, accompanied by a carefully curated selection of local specialties. The experience culminates with the fun 'sommelier game', a sensory challenge to test your nose and palate in an original and engaging way.
If you want a full immersion in the soul of Bologna, the guided Food Tour will take you through the shops and historic medieval markets, where you will taste the true masterpieces of the region. For those who don't want to compromise, the complete package combines the extensive Food Tour with the Lambrusco food tasting: the ideal formula to maximize your trip and experience Emilia from every angle.
The choice is yours! Whatever package is perfect for you, the train trip is already included; the culinary experiences, on the other hand, change according to your selection. Get ready to go, Bologna is waiting for you: have a good trip and enjoy your meal!
