Embark on a gastronomic journey in Bologna, a city where medieval architecture meets culinary excellence. During this three-hour food tour, you'll explore some of the city's most characterful areas, including the Quadrilatero market district, the Mercato di Mezzo, and the university district.
This tour features 10 carefully selected tastings accompanied by wine and insights into the stories behind Bologna's food culture. You'll sample fresh pasta topped with Bolognese sauce at family-run trattorias and savour handcrafted tortellini. The experience includes tastings of premium Parmigiano Reggiano cheese aged for 24 and 36 months, artisanal cured meats, and balsamic vinegar aged for 15 and 24 years. You'll also enjoy a traditional tigella served with prosciutto, a mortadella sandwich, and the city's famous rice cake, all prepared by Bologna’s culinary masters.
Complement these delicacies with local sparkling wines, and you'll understand why Bologna has earned the nickname 'la grassa' (the fat one). Conclude your experience with a sweet surprise: a chocolate tortellino.
