A behind-the-scenes tour that takes you through the production rooms of a Parmigiano Reggiano dairy and the farm areas which are usually closed to the public. With a private guide totally dedicated to you and your family or friends, you’ll have the chance to see first-hand the passion and craftsmanship that lead to the creation of the king of cheeses every morning. A slow-paced tour that leads you to discover the details of production technology, ancient tools and modern materials and ends with a delicious vertical tasting of Parmigiano Reggiano, to learn how to taste it like a cheese sommelier.

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.
