Cần Quan Tâm
San Secondo Parmense
The Lowlands of the Province of Parma consist in the plain north of Parma. It is a territory characterized by the respect for ancient traditions, rich in history, art and genuine food, to discover and enjoy at a slow pace. Our route to the discovery of the Parma Lowlands starts crossing the strip of land running from the Parma Morta Reserve to Maria Luigia’s Woods in Torricella, near the meandering of the Taro river, to reach San Secondo Parmense, Roccabianca, places where it seems as if time has stood still.
Castello di Roccabianca
We will see the Roccabianca Castle (exterior), that was built around mid 1400 by Pier Maria Rossi for his beloved Bianca Pellegrini, the beautiful frescoes and heraldic emblems in the portico that a recent restauration has brought to light. The castle is home to the Museum of Distillery.

5.00Roberta and our driver, Guido, took us around in this wonderful and peaceful day in the area. Despite the rainy weather, we had a wonderful time. Guido picked us up in a beautiful and comfortable Mercedes right at our hotel, with Roberta meeting us and all of our luggage. At the end, they dropped us off at the station to catch a train to Milan. We had a delightful day chatting with Roberta as we made stops at some of the local towns for a coffee, pictures, seeing the castles, while she explained the history and the geographical importance of the elements of the area and creation of the local products. We ended at the local producer of the Cutello di Zibello and a delicious lunch with cured meats, pasta, local wine, and desserts. She took care of everything and we found the knowledge that she shared was excellent, but also just having conversations about our experiences, ours and her backgrounds, etc. We really enjoyed our day with her. Thank you Roberta! We would love to come back and bring our family and friends on this tour.
Loved this experience! Exactly what you come to this region for.

5.00This tour is incredible! This is exactly what you come to this region for in every way. Michelle is so warm and knowledgeable about the region (being from Parma herself) and just beams with joy to share it with you. The pride for the food that’s produced here and the dedication to preserving it is downright infectious. We stopped at several historical sites off the beaten path, a family farm where the pigs are raised and produce is grown, and the otherworldly estate where the Culatello of Zibello is aged. This was a once in a lifetime experience! The estate has a Michelin star restaurant, a museum that gives a ton of background on how the cured meats are produced, a huge one of a kind aging cellar, and even a few rooms as a hotel. I couldn’t stop taking pictures of the landscape and the aging cellar. The Culatello of Zibello is the best thing you’ll ever taste. The other meats were also incredible. The portion was so huge we had to wrap a few pieces up for later - rarely ever happens to my husband and I. The pasta was also really delicious and local to the area. It was such a pleasure to share this experience with Michelle and we’ll be giving her a call for more when we come back to Parma!
Amazing experience!

5.00What a fantastic experience! This tour was very personal and so much more informational than other group tours around Italy. We loved getting to know all about the area from our local guide, Serena was amazing! We got to try a whole tray of different meats from the region, some homemade pasta, and a lovely traditional dessert. Would recommend!
Extraordinary experience!

5.00This tour is just extraordinary! We were only in Parma for a day and a food tour was a must do experience. I’m so glad I booked with Michelle! The location you will visit on this tour is absolutely beautiful and the lunch was delicious. Michelle is one of a kind! She has a wealth of knowledge when it comes to the region of Parma, the history, the food, everything! She is professional and accommodating. She arranged our transportation and picked us up punctually right in front of our hotel. I immediately felt comfortable talking to her and we ended up sharing great stories! In addition to this tour, she also arranged a morning experience for us which included an incredible visit to a Parmigiano Reggiano plant. After the tour, Michelle gave us more recommendations for a few other places to visit and showed us where to get the best gelato in Parma! Thank you for making our short time in Parma so memorable, Michelle!
Deep knowledge told on a special experience!

5.00A special tour. Our guide Michelle and a driver picked my girlfriend and I up from the train station in Parma and brought us to an organic pig and curing farm where we learned how various cured meats, particularly Cullatello are produced. During the whole time she told us with specific facts and knowledge about the history of the region. After that we went to a special restaurant and farm where we could see hundreds of Culatello curing underground (the same basement featured on Anthony Bourdain). The whole time the guide Michelle was well-researched, friendly and answered your questions deeply. The format of the private tour gives you flexibility and the ability to ask lots of questions. At the end of the tour, Michelle gave us recommendations for things to do in town and even helped us purchase awesome Parmigiano from her favorite specialty store. Would recommend this experience for all!
