Overview

An exclusive journey dedicated to the finest flavors of Italy's Food Valley. The "delicious" adventure begins with the legendary Parmigiano Reggiano, where you will see the entire process from milk to the final curd, culminating in the breathtaking aging storage where thousands of wheels sleep. Enjoy the amazing tasting!

Next stop, the Wine producer: before rasing your glass, you will take a step back in time with a guided tour of the private Wine Museum and Local Traditions. Continue into the modern production and enjoy the exclusive tasting.

Last stop, the fascinating world of Traditional Balsmaic Vinegar of Modena, knows as the Black Gold: min. 12 years in precious wooden barrels to be ready! Tasting of different ages with tea-spoon and then, a curated lunch that perfectly let you taste balsamic in pairing with local cuisine.
