Cheese, prosciutto, and vinegar tour

Cheryl_M, Dec 2025

This was a magnificent tour. The tour guides were amazing and hats off to Valentina (?) as she was great. Montana is a must see in the vinegar is amazing. The Parmesan Reggiano cheese farm was so interesting and fun. The prosciutto was interesting but we were told that we could bring it home so I bought a chunk of it for US$80 and could not bring it through. They should not be telling Americans that we can bring it through because it is not legal to bring cured meats into the United States from Italy. I had to leave it there. What a waste.
