Small Group Gourmet Day Trip from Florence with Bologna Food Tour, Modena Balsamic & Parmesan-Making Experiences

Your gourmet Day Trip From Florence begins when you meet your guide and small group of no more than 15 people in Central Florence and climb aboard your private air-conditioned transport. Your first stop is a parmigiano reggiano storehouse tour where you'll see the famous cheese stacked to the ceiling, and taste a block that has been aged for 24 months.

Next, your Gourmet Day Trip From Florence takes you to a small farm that produces artisanal balsamic vinegar where you'll sample 12 and 30-year-old vinegars before sitting down for a light lunch of local seasonal food with a complimentary glass of wine. Then it’s off to the foodie city of Bologna, the historic capital and largest city in the region of Emilia-Romagna. Things to do in Bologna include strolling through the amazing Piazza Maggiore, a visit to the delightful food market and the old Jewish Ghetto, and seeing the city's two famous towers, the Torre degli Asinelli and Torre della Garisenda. You'll also sample local wine, tortellini and mortadella, the gourmet inspiration for everyone's favorite luncheon meat, baloney.

Hopping into your minibus, you'll be back in Florence that evening, having experienced the best of the region's incredible food.
