Experience Bologna like a local with this unforgettable culinary adventure!

Discover hidden gems known only to locals and immerse yourself in the authentic rhythm of Bolognese life. This experience recreates the classic outings we enjoy with friends and family, offering over 15 tastings of the finest local food and wine.

We’ll begin with Tigella, a versatile and iconic dish served as a pre-aperitivo, followed by a variety of cold cuts, cheeses, and bread from the Bologna area, paired with local wines at the city’s oldest osteria. Strolling through the historic center, you’ll enjoy two beloved homemade pastas—Tortellini and Tagliatelle—at a traditional Osteria Bolognese, perfectly complemented by more local wine.

To conclude, we’ll visit the best gelateria in town for an unforgettable gelato. This is your chance to eat, drink, and experience Bologna’s culinary traditions like a true local!

    A perfect way to learn about the culture, history and try the delicious food and wine. Our tour guide Erica gave us lots of information about Bologna as well as sharing her experiences as a Bologna local.

  • Rushed/ Non professional and not worth the money

    Our guide was sharp and impatient with her comments. Because she was talking and walking most people missed out on the historical information given. I felt rushed throughout the tour. One of the stops was a cheese store where only half of the group got to hear her telling history of the product and the other half was ignored. When it came time to taste the cheese and cold meats, a very distasteful choice of a red and white wine was offered and it was sparkling. Most of the group complained. She didn’t show any interest or enthusiasm in her job. She just looked exhausted and overwhelmed. I didn’t stay to the end because I don’t feel the worth in this tour. My apologies but my experience was not worth the money.
