Overview of your Bologna tour:

Don't have much time in Bologna but want to learn about all the food and how to navigate the iconic food products and traditional dishes like a local? Then this is the tour for you. During this full-immersion Market experience, I condense all of my knowledge about the food of Emilia Romagna to bring you an unforgettable learning and tasting experience as well as helping you navigate the traditional dishes of Bologna. For those who have little time, this is the best way to experience the gastronomic icons of the Food Capital of the World and learn why Bologna and Emilia Romagna are so famous for so many of those food items you know but had no idea came from this region! The entire will be carried out in the main covered market in downtown Bologna. THIS TOUR IS AVAILABLE FROM MONDAY TO SATURDAY ONLY. ***THIS TOUR IS NOT AVAILABLE ON SUNDAY

Your Bologna tour itinerary

-We begin in an award-winning cafè where we will talk about Italian coffee culture. Over a cup of artisan roasted coffee and a map of the 44 and counting PDO and PGI products you will learn about the agricultural and gastronomic history and traditions of the foods and dishes of Emilia Romagna. - We begin with tastings of different maturations of Parmigiano Reggiano as well as a selection of other local and unique cheeses. - We will wander around the market talking about the food culture, the various fruits and vegetables on offer, gastronomic traditions as well as some lovely anecdotes about the history of some of the dishes. - We will stop off at various market purveyors along the way to try an incredible selection of some of the finest charcuterie, pasta or traditional filled flatbreads and dessert. I advise to have only a minimal breakfast before you embark on your tour as you won't go hungry!
