5.00An amazing and delicious day learning about the food culture of Tuscany! Stephania was a great guide, and all the tour stops were fantastic. Balsamic vinegar with gelato was a particular revelation!
Good, but…

4.00Visited cheese, vinegar, and wine making facilities via bus and then headed out for a very filling lunch with the small group. Each facility had a speaker that educated us on their product. The guide was very nice and well-informed, but could have had a more planning/curriculum to teach us about the products, culture, and customs of the regional cuisine. Would have liked to hear about general expectations and overall plan for the day (i.e tell us what we are about to do, how long each experience will take, what we will taste there, to kick it off… etc). Would have liked more context, customs, trivia, and history of the cuisine and foods as well. Good, but not sure it was worth the significant cost. Could’ve also added more activities (ie. everyone practice making a tortellini perhaps? Mortadella factory? gelato maker? Try some other unique local product?). Good, but just seems like it needed something more at this price point.

5.00This tour is a must if you’re visiting Bologna. Stefania is absolutely incredible and so knowledgeable as someone who has lived in the region for many years. Every stop was fantastic and we were never rushed. Stefania is very patient and kind and answers every single question. We had a great group and she makes sure that everyone is having a good experience. The winery, parmigiano factory tour, and the lunch with authentic regional dishes were the highlight of our trip. I’d give Stefania and this tour 100 stars if I could!
Great foodie experience...
