Overview

Go beyond the surface - uncover every step of Parmigiano Reggiano's production process with your private guide.

Choose a behind-the-scenes tour that takes you through sites, production rooms and farm areas usually closed to the public. Discover ancient tools and modern materials, method and passion, a magical combination that leads to the creation of Parmigiano Reggiano every morning. Learn how to taste it like a Cheese Sommelier, relying on the professionalism of a local experienced guide dedicated exclusively to you. Delve into the secrets of Traditional Balsamic Vinegar, one of the hidden and still little-known jewels of Reggio Emilia and Modena. At the end of this experience, Parmigiano and Balsamic Vinegar taste will always bring back memories of the passion and the marvels encountered along the way. We are waiting for you to live a truly unforgettable experience!
