Hidden treasures in Valceno, close to Parma

Bologna· Food capital · porticoesEnglish, Italian

Just 50 kilometers south of Parma, you will experience a journey back in time, to the Middle Ages. In the heart of the enchanting Ceno valley lies the small but characteristic village of Bardi, dominated by a perfectly preserved fortress. The historical and natural wonders will be accompanied by the gastronomic excellence of the area : Parmigiano, whose production process and unmistakable taste will be the subject of extensive explanations, during the visit to a local dairy. At the end of the visit you will taste different ages of the precious cheese, with local wines and, then, you will be ready to reach a very small restaurant inside a micro-farm, for a delicious lunch with traditional dishes.

Where this sits in Bologna

Bologna is about 8 min by road from Bologna Marconi Airport. The food capital, and it does not have to try. Porticoes for miles, a real university city rather than a museum piece, and Modena and Parma close enough for a day out.
