A wonderful evening-do not miss this!

We had a great time with Stephania and Gabriele cooking and learning about the foods and drink we enjoyed. Made and ate our own pasta! Generous amounts of food and drink and relaxed atmosphere. Met some wonderful people who loved the experience as much as we did, including 2 couples who were starting their honeymoons in Bologna! Highly recommend and special thanks to Stephanie for creating the enjoyable experience.

A great day of food, culture, and history

Federico was AMAZING! Her knowledge of Bologna and the history of every food we tried was exceptional and extremely informative. The tour was perfect and the food remarkable. We’ve done many food tours in other countries. This one ranks high on the list.

Best activity for a weekend in Bologna

It was my birthday, and we decided to celebrate together by making our own Italian dinner. Our children (6, 8, and 11 years old) were involved too, and our chef/guide was the friendliest person with them. It was funny, comfortable, and delicious! Thank you :)

Bologna Food Experience: Factory tours & Lunch By Italian Days

Daphne_W, May 2026

Highlight of our trip!

This was such an amazing experience for me and my family! From all the rave reviews on Viator, I had a feeling this would be an experience not to be missed so I booked this for my birthday, which fell during a family trip to Italy. My family and I are big fans of Italian food and wine, so it seemed right up our alley, and it definitely did not disappoint. The Italian breakfast (with wine!) and balsamic tastings was delicious, and it was really interesting to see how parmigiano reggiano cheese was made and the process of curing prosciutto. Tasting the different years of aged balsamic (while eating aged cheese) was such a great experience as well. And then lunch - SO much delicious food and the hospitality that came with it was unmatched. You can tell that everyone in the Italian Days team loves their jobs, genuinely wants to be there with each other and their guests and making connections, and wants to make sure that you have a great time. There is no pretense and it is really lovely and so rare these days to find that kind of genuineness. Food and wine was aplenty with lots of variety. And then came the entertainment with some karaoke by the staff and dancing, and it was just a joyous time all around. The staff were also very sweet to sing me a little happy birthday and to put a candle on the dessert (unbeknownst to me), and even gave me a little gift just before I left which was really nice of them (also not expected)! All in all, exceeded all of our expectations (even my dad who is tough to impress couldn't stop raving about this experience). This is one not to be missed, highly recommended! A big thank you to our wonderful new friends at Italian Days - Grazie Mille in particular to Julia, our guide for the day, and Roberta, who got us safely to each destination!

Bologna Food Valley Small-Group: Factory Tasting, Winery & Lunch

Gina_G, May 2026

Memorable Modena

This tour was, without question, one of the highlights of my trip to Italy. From the moment our guide greeted us with a warm smile and an infectious enthusiasm for not only Modena but everything Emilia-Romagna has to offer, I knew we were in for something special. We visited a Parmigiano-Reggiano factory where we were able to watch master cheesemaker go through every step of the centuries-old production process — it’s one thing to eat great cheese, but watching it being made with such care and craftsmanship gave it a whole new dimension. We sampled different ages and were able to shops and bring a little piece of goodness home. The Balsamic vinegar factory was equally jaw-dropping. The aroma alone when you walk through the door is worth the trip. The family owned business was warm and welcoming. We even got to taste balsamic vinegar with ice cream. Then came the winery. This was nestled in rolling countryside that looked almost too beautiful to be real. We learned about Lambrusco and experienced a private tour of the winery. And of course the wine tasting is where we really began to learn. Our guides knowledge was extensive, but never making it overwhelming. She explained every fact making into a story. She was deeply proud of her region’s culinary heritage. This was truly a memorable day.

Awesome Bologna Food Tour with a Local

My wife and I went on the Bologna Food Tour with our host, Eugenio, and 4 other Americans. We were excited for this tour since we've heard so much about the food in Bologna, and we were not disappointed! Eugenio has a comprehensive knowledge of the Bologna's history and geography as well as so many facets of the gastronomic milieu that he was able to create the proper context for us to sample the specialties of his native region. The tour was about three hours long and we covered a lot of distance, but it was comfortably-paced and we never felt like we were hurrying. Eugenio has a good sense of humor and is very personable, which was evident by his friendly relationships with the vendors. We would highly recommend this tour and Eugenio as a host and guide!
