This tour was a bit of a splurge, but it was a very efficient use of 7 hours on the last day of our vacation. My daughter and I were given private tours at all of the places we went and it was truly an incredible experience. Tasting different ages of parmesan cheese and then getting to sample 50 year old balsamic vinegar. How else are you going to do that?? Just amazing. Also got to purchase everything we tasted at a fraction of the price it would cost in the United States. If you're a true foodie, you need to do this!

The cellar where we took the tour and the tasting is brand new and really beautiful to see. The hills around make everything magical. Our guide led us on a journey made up of the flavors and aromas of the area through oils, wines and gastronomic products. Absolutely recommended!!

We had a great time with Damiano! He was patient with us with the bikes and very knowledgeable about Bologna. The little bar at the end with wine and pastries was awesome!

We had a very good tour guide Alberto. He spoke very good English and was very nice to be with! Very personable and knowledgeable Thanks for an enjoyable experience
