Bologna Foodie Walk

A visit to Bologna is a must for Italian food lovers, and this bespoke food tour is a perfect opportunity for enthusiastic eaters, home cooks, cultural food geeks, chefs, farm-to-table enthusiasts, food in-takers and seekers of genuine culture who wish to have a comprehensive, flavorful food-driven experience.

We will take you on an incredible journey through Bologna’s “Fat” City legacy. We’ll taste traditional freshly baked in-house goods at a buzzing institutional caffe’ then travel through colorful streets, porticos, historical markets, cultural sites, family-run delis while sampling rich flavors, fresh pastas and gelato for a delicious overview of this city’s culinary treasure chest. We’ll delight in a handful of Emilia-Romagna’s 40+ consortium protected DOP traditional products like mortadella, real deal Parmigiano-Reggiano, balsamic vinegar, prosciutto di parma and more. You’ll learn about and taste Bologna’s world-loved pastas like tagliatelle and tortellini during a behind-the-scenes of a pasta making lesson at a local pasta laboratory. During this exclusive hands-on visit, local sfogline (pasta masters) will show us how tortellini are made (and properly folded), as well as other hand-cut pastas like tagliatelle!

After this authentic backdoor journey through this very food-centric city, you will feel more confident to return to these shops and know what defines the local culinary landscape of Bologna.
