Bologna Food Valley Factory Tour with Lunch Tickets

About this experience

Explore Emilia-Romagna’s food traditions beyond the city on a guided Food Valley excursion from Bologna. The advertised route visits a Parmigiano Reggiano producer, a traditional balsamic vinegar cellar and a Lambrusco winery, with tastings and a Modenese lunch. Round-trip transport from Bologna, a local guide and a driver are included, so you can focus on the visits rather than arranging separate journeys. Book this integrated excursion for a day centred on regional producers and their food, rather than a walking tour of Bologna’s restaurants. Bologna Food Valley Factory Tour: see Parmigiano Reggiano at its source The cheese-factory visit introduces Parmigiano Reggiano through a guided tour and tasting. Seeing a producer’s setting adds a different perspective from ordering cheese at a restaurant: the experience focuses on the food’s origin and the work associated with it. Follow the guide and the producer’s arrangements during the visit, as working premises can have their own access rules. The ticket establishes a guided producer visit and tasting, rather than a guarantee that every production stage will be operating when you arrive. Confirm any particularly important viewing expectation before purchasing. Bologna Food Valley Factory Tour: visit a traditional balsamic producer A cellar visit introduces traditional balsamic vinegar, with a tasting that lets you concentrate on its flavours. The itinerary connects this stop with the regional food culture around Modena, giving you a chance to compare it with the cheese and wine tastings elsewhere in the day. This is a guided visit to a producer, not a voucher for unrestricted shopping or an independent tasting at any acetaia you choose. Any personal purchases are separate unless your confirmation says otherwise. Use the guide’s explanations and the tasting itself to decide which flavours you might want to explore further. Explore Lambrusco through a winery visit The winery stop focuses on local Lambrusco wines. It provides another setting for understanding the region’s food and drink, with the guide helping connect the different visits into one itinerary. The operator includes wine tastings and describes a winery visit, but does not establish a choice of every wine or unlimited drinks. If someone in your party does not drink alcohol, check the actual booking arrangements before purchase. The experience is designed around its advertised producers and tasting route, so the selected departure’s programme takes precedence over assumptions about a particular named estate. Lunch and included refreshments A traditional Modenese lunch is included alongside the food and wine tastings. Coffee and bottled water are also listed, making it easier to plan the day without arranging a separate lunch stop during the guided programme. The operator does not provide a guaranteed fixed menu for every date, so confirm dietary needs and any essential restrictions before booking. Treat the lunch as part of the organised excursion rather than a free-choice restaurant reservation. These meal and tasting inclusions are central to the product; a cheaper transport-only day trip or a Bologna city food walk would not provide the same scope. Depart from Bologna with transport arranged The listed start is Piazza XX Settembre in Bologna. Follow the exact meeting instructions and departure time on your confirmation and arrive with time to find the guide. Round-trip transportation, a local guide and a driver are included for the advertised route. Allow space in your plans for the full excursion and return journey, checking the selected departure’s schedule rather than assuming a city-walk duration. Wear suitable footwear for producer visits and confirm specific access needs before purchase. Retain your booking confirmation and use the organised transport throughout the itinerary to return to Bologna with the group.
