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!

5.00An awesome tour. Darren did a fantastic job. He kept the whole group engaged with his knowledge of Bologna and with his passion for Italian cuisine. The food choices were excellent and the portions were perfect for a food tasting tour capped with refreshing gelato....and of course, the wine choices were spot on.
Culinary experience and some history.

5.00Great culinary experience with a very friendly guide who encourages conversation and knows how to put participants at ease. A little history without too much heavy detail. Good food, good local wine and the quantities are perfect. The tour takes place in perfect weather, you don't feel rushed. We might have liked to have some time after tasting or presentation in some of the shops, surely we would have made some purchases which would have been to the advantage of these. But there is always the option to return unless like us we leave Bologna after the tour.
Great way go see Bologna and enjoy the great food of the region

5.00Via a guided food tour you get a good insight into Bologna gastronomy. Our guide Roberta gave us an exciting tour. It was also good that it was limited what we had eaten for breakfast as there was plenty of food along the way.
