Overview of your Bologna tour:

The hills and plains of the Romagna area (Emilia's other half) are largely unexplored by tourists but are a food and wine lover's paradise, producing the unique 'Formaggio di Fossa' or pit-cheese, Italy's rarest and most expensive olive oil and Sangiovese wines that represent excellent competition with Tuscany. We will learn about these rare cheeses that were originally hidden from pillaging armies during the Middle Ages and how burying these cheeses caused an accidental fermentation process that is unique to this DOP cheese. We will visit the terraced olive groves in one of Italy's finest and least-known olive-growing areas and an award-winning local olive oil producer in this area. Where the olive groves meet the vineyards, we will also taste this producer's wonderful local wines and vermouth and have lunch with their own local produce. Our last stop will be in Dozza, a tiny charming town featuring frescoes by international artists and the Regional Wine Cellar housed in a medieval fortress.

Your Bologna tour itinerary

Formaggio di Fossa 09. 30 am We will visit the unique pits located in the producer's home as well as the tiny museum located in a prison dating back to the middle ages which tells the story of the pits and cheese production. End with tastings of various cheeses made with cow's, sheep's and goat's milk, other local products and a crash course in how to taste cheese. Olive Oil 'Tour', Wine Tour, Tastings & Lunch 1pm - Forlì / Cesena The experience, in addition to visiting the groves, includes a lesson in olive-oil tasting, enabling you to understand how to recognise a 'good' oil from a defective one and learn about the different aromatic, taste and flavour characteristics of not only the Brisighello Cultivar but also a selection of other blended and local cultivars. We will also taste a selection of the producer's wines and incredible Vermouth. 5pm - While we head back to Bologna, we will stop off in Dozza, explore the frescoed houses and visit the Regional Wine Cellar housed in a medieval fortress.
