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!

Great family experience. We were able to learn more about the history of Bologna, enjoy a variety of food and drinks and share this experience with new “friends” from other parts of the world. We got more food than I expected and trecked to more areas that I anticipated. Sonia was great host. Very friendly and informative.
Great way to spend a few hours getting to know Bologna!

Truly a great, tasty, informative experience! Show up hungry because you’ll get to eat a lot. It was a great way to learn about the food, history, and culture of Bologna.

Catarina was the kind of host you could only hope for. Engaging, positive, genuinely friendly and was an expert on Bologna. The food was typical Italian staples that are part of Bologna story. Great tour!!
Definitely worth it

It’s so worth doing a food tour rather than wandering around. This one was the perfect length. Sonya made the tour both fun and educational.
Very nice experience!
