Here is what's in store for you

Embark on an immersive culinary journey through Bologna, one of Italy’s most iconic food cities. Guided by a passionate local expert, this experience takes you deep into the city’s vibrant markets, rich food history, and legendary flavors, making it the perfect experience for food lovers and cultural explorers alike.

Your adventure begins in the heart of Bologna, where you’ll explore the bustling Quadrilatero Market and the historic Mercato di Mezzo. These vibrant marketplaces offer a sensory feast — from fresh produce and fragrant herbs to cured meats, handmade pasta, and artisanal cheeses.

Along the way, you'll sample some of Bologna’s most iconic dishes, including tagliatelle al ragù, traditional mortadella, and a variety of local charcuterie. These tastings are paired with a selection of regional wines, such as Lambrusco and Pignoletto, carefully chosen to complement the savory flavors of Emilia-Romagna cuisine.

As you walk through the city’s charming streets and hidden alleys, your guide will share stories of Bologna’s culinary heritage, tracing its roots from medieval times to its present-day status as Italy’s food capital. You'll learn how its traditions shaped Italian cuisine and how the city continues to celebrate food as a core part of its identity.

By the end of the tour, you’ll not only have tasted the essence of Bologna but also gained a deeper appreciation for its cultural and gastronomic soul.
