So interesting - the process of making Parmigiano and Parma ham. And delicious - the sampling and pairing with local wines. Lambrusco now is a new favorite. Our guide was wonderful - knowledgeable and funny too. Thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Grazie Mille

We had a great time! Our guide did a fantastic job. It was fascinating to see how the Parmesan was made as well as prosciutto. Even the owner Claudio and his wife came out to talk with us all and serve the meat.
