Overview

Go beyond the surface - uncover every step of Parmigiano Reggiano's production process with your private guide. Take a slow-paced journey through Emilia Romagna’s food traditions: taste, learn and connect with true local artisans. Choose a behind-the-scenes tour that takes you through sites, production rooms and farm areas usually closed to the public. Discover ancient tools and modern materials, method and passion, a magical combination that leads to the creation of Parmigiano Reggiano every morning. Learn how to taste it like a Cheese Sommelier, relying on the professionalism of a local experienced guide dedicated exclusively to you. Delve into the secrets of Traditional Balsamic Vinegar, one of the hidden and still little-known jewels of Reggio Emilia and Modena.
