This 4.5-hour walking food tour in Bologna includes six stops where participants taste more than 20 regional dishes and products. It begins at a local café for a classic Italian breakfast of coffee and a sweet pastry. Then the group visits an artisanal pasta workshop to watch pasta makers and sample cold cuts and aged Parmigiano Reggiano. Next, the tour walks through the Quadrilatero food market where guests enjoy an aperitivo with local cold meats, aged Parmigiano Reggiano, and wine at one of Bologna’s oldest osterias. The guide then leads to Piazza Maggiore to share stories about the main church, Neptune statue, and other landmarks. Lunch follows with three types of handmade pasta served with wine. After lunch, the tour includes a tasting of 15- and 25-year-old Aceto Balsamico di Modena IGP and DOP. The guide briefly explains the history of Bologna’s Two Towers before the tour concludes with a serving of artisanal gelato. The tour is led by a local host in a small group format. Participants should notify the operator of any dietary restrictions, as pork-based cured meats are common but vegetarian substitutions are available.
