History, wine and shopping day tour from Parma

Here is what you will live

There are 3 main reasons why Italy is probably the most famous and interesting destination in the world: its history, the amazing food & wine heritage, and its style! This is why we want to offer you the opportunity to experience all of this in one special day tour from Parma.

Your first visit, after 1 hour drive, will be Casa Benna. This winery has been owned by Molinari family since 1916. Currently, Andrea Molinari and his nephiew Alessandro Stabile are fully devoted to it. Andrea manages pruning, vinification and business, while Alessandro is responsible for machine automation and maintenance, bottling and vineyard care.

With this wine tour you'll be greeted by a member of the family and then enjoy a special winery tour focused on the wine production of the famil and then taste more then 4 wines, including also cold cuts and cheese pairing.

After the tour, you'll get the chance to visit the beautful Castello d'Arquato and have the chance to visit this outstanding medieval village, before stopping here for lunch. Castell'Arquato is a well-preserved hamlet that is able to fascinate everyone with its art, its nature and its typical products. From the rural roads that wind between the hills and towards the Appennino, Castell'Arquato rises in the middle of nature with its towers, its belltowers and its castellated walls. Visitors will be amazed by its medieval history: the entire hamlet, the houses in sandstone, the narrow streets built on a terracing filled with fossils. Castell'Arquato is located in the Riserva Geologica del Piacenziano, a natural reserve that was covered by the sea in the prehistoric period.

On your way back you'll get the chance to stop at Fidenza Shopping village, probably the most interesting shipping village in the whole region. Time for shopping and relaxing and then back to Parma.
