About this tour
Spend a day exploring Emilia-Romagna's legendary makers in the countryside around Modena and Bologna. You'll visit a Parmigiano Reggiano dairy and a balsamic vinegar producer to see how these protected-origin staples are actually made, then taste them properly. The afternoon swings to the Ferrari and Lamborghini museums to clock the engineering obsession behind Italy's most famous supercars. A light lunch rounds out the seven-hour loop, with door-to-door transport included.
Highlights
- Watch Parmigiano Reggiano aging in the round at a working dairy
- Taste balsamic vinegar aged decades; learn the slow fermentation process
- Skip-the-line access to both Ferrari and Lamborghini museums
- Lunch among Modena's rolling hills at a vinegar producer's estate
- Small-group minivan touring countryside farms and industrial heritage
What to expect
You'll be collected from Bologna or Modena city centre in the morning and driven out to the farms. At the dairy, producers walk you through curd-cutting and mould work; you'll taste Parmigiano at different ages to feel how time changes the texture and bite. The balsamic acetaia (aging house) is cooler and darker—expect wooden barrels stacked high and a tasting that moves from young to complex. Between stops, there's a light lunch of local plates at the vinegar estate. The Ferrari and Lamborghini museums come next, with skip-the-line tickets. Expect crowds; you're moving through on your own. The driver brings you home by evening.
Good to know
Bring sturdy shoes and a jumper—cellars stay cool year-round. Tell the operator about food allergies in advance. The visits are led by the producers themselves, not a dedicated guide, and other guests may join. Exact pickup time comes separately by message.
