Tour Itinerary:
Day 1: Arrival and transfer from the airport or train station to your hotel. Time to settle in and relax. Dinner tonight will be on your own, with suggestions from your host. Perhaps dine at a famous local restaurant—a favorite of John Grisham’s and one featured in his bestselling novel, The Broker!
Day 2: Following breakfast at the hotel, departure to Maranello to visit the Ferrari Gallery. Then it is on to Modena to visit an acetai, the traditional balsamic vinegar production. There will be an explanation of the main rules for producing the best traditional balsamic vinegar of Modena, with of course, an opportunity for a tasting. Lunch will follow at the acetaia’s restaurant. After lunch some free time to shop in Modena. Return to Bologna with dinner on your own.
Day 3: Following a very early breakfast, it is off to Parma to learn the secrets of the production of one of the most famous Italian products, the parmigiano reggiano cheese. Afterwards, transfer to a typical farmhouse of the region for a morning cooking class followed by lunch of typical Parmesan dishes, including a taste of aged Parma ham (prosciutto). Return to Bologna with dinner on your own.
Day 4: After breakfast, depart for an excellent cooking school in historic Bologna for a class of typical Bolognese homemade pasta, tortellini, tagilatelle and tortelloni, with lunch to follow based on your efforts. In the afternoon, a tour around the medieval market. Your farewell dinner tonight will be in a charming tavern dating form the 15th century in the historic center of town; a very festive night with music set in the renovated but historically unchanged building.
Day 5: Breakfast followed by departure. Ciao!
