The experience begins in Florence with a morning departure aboard a comfortable, air-conditioned Mercedes-Benz minivan, accompanied by a professional English-speaking driver. As the journey unfolds, the landscape gradually changes while Tuscany gives way to Emilia-Romagna, one of Italy’s most renowned food regions (Approximately 2 hours drive).
Upon arrival in Bologna, participants meet a licensed local food guide and begin a 3-hour immersive walking food tour through the historic center. The route passes beneath the city’s iconic porticoes and through lively markets, introducing the culinary traditions that define Bolognese cuisine.
During the tour, participants sample a selection of local specialties, including handmade fresh pasta, mortadella, aged cheeses, cured meats, and other traditional products. Along the way, the guide shares stories about family recipes, culinary rituals, and the origins of Bologna’s rich gastronomic identity.
Following the guided tastings, participants enjoy free time in Bologna to continue exploring at their own pace. This time may be used to sip an espresso in a bustling piazza, browse gourmet shops for food souvenirs, or simply soak in the city’s vibrant atmosphere (Approximately 1 hour free time).
In the afternoon, participants return to Florence aboard the private minivan, relaxing during the drive after a day dedicated to flavors, traditions, and local culture (Approximately 2 hours drive).
