Begin with visits to Parmigiano Reggiano and Traditional Balsamic Vinegar producers, discovering the craftsmanship behind Emilia-Romagna’s most iconic flavors.

Continue to Canossa Castle to learn about the story of Queen Matilde, then enjoy a scenic drive through the Apennines to a mountain farm, where you’ll savor a farm-to-table lunch made with organic, local ingredients. After lunch, enjoy a relaxed walk through forests, meet free-range animals, and explore a historic chestnut orchard with the farm owner.
