What to expect
Your driver will collect you from your Florence hotel and drive south to Modena, where you'll spend the day moving between food producers and the Ferrari museum at your own rhythm. At the Parmesan dairy, you'll see vats of curds being stirred and aged wheels stacked in temperature-controlled rooms—expect genuine production noise and sharp milk-fermentation smells. The balsamic acetaia (aging house) is quieter, with rows of wooden barrels releasing deep, syrupy aromas. Ferrari's museum showcases racing history through legendary models. Between stops, your driver provides context on Emilia-Romagna's food culture. Lunch isn't included, so plan a meal at a local trattoria.
