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!

5.00This was a super fun way to spend our short available time in Bologna! We had heard that Bolagna is known all through Italy for it’s exceptional food so this tour sounded like a terrific way to spend the available time we had, and it turned out to be a great choice! I can’t say enough about Fede, our tour guide! She was brimming with knowledge and enthusiasm about Bologna, and its history of food. The way the tour was structured she gathered the very best of the offerings from select sources and enabled us to try them in a very special setting, that I don’t want to ruin for you! In addition, she promised to send along a written description of the many treasures she shared with us. I have yet to receive it but look forward to receiving that information because she did share so very much great info! If you do this to her, you won’t be disappointed! We strongly recommend it!
Great Way to Experience Bologna!
