Experience Bologna Like a Local with This Unique Culinary Adventure!

Join us on a gastronomic journey through Bologna, where you’ll discover hidden gems only locals know about—places you simply must try!

Our goal is to share the authentic rhythm of Bolognese life, recreating the classic outings we enjoy with friends and family. Prepare to delight your taste buds with over 15 food and wine tastings that showcase the very best of our local cuisine.

The experience begins with Tigella, one of Bologna’s most iconic and versatile dishes, served as a delightful pre-aperitivo. From there, we’ll move on to savor a selection of cold cuts, cheeses, and bread, all sourced from the Bologna area, paired with local wines at the city’s oldest osteria. As we wander through the historic city center, you’ll get to try two of the region’s most beloved homemade pastas—Tortellini and Tagliatelle—served at a traditional Osteria Bolognese and accompanied by more exceptional local wines.

To end on a sweet note, we’ll visit the best gelateria in town for an unforgettable gelato experience. This is your chance to eat and drink like a true Bolognese, immersing yourself in our culinary traditions and savoring every bite along the way!
