About this activity
Meet your guide in an agreed-upon location in central Parma to begin a 2-hour tour to learn about some of the regional culinary specialties.
Parma is the city that gave the world Lamborghini, Verdi, and enough ham and cheese to start a deli chain. Food lovers will relish the opportunity to stop for a visit in this gastronomic heaven.
Many well-known delicacies, including the famous 'prosciutto' ham and Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, come from the sweet, sun-kissed hills of Parma. But the great food and wine aren't the only tempting features of this generous land. Think about beautiful landscapes spotted with castles and family homesteads, vineyards, dairy farms, and food museums. Picture yourself walking around a wine cellar, smelling the freshly picked grapes, sipping an aromatic Malvasia wine, or tasting a slice of savoury, matured Parmigiano Reggiano.
Enjoy a visit to either a cheese factory or a Parma ham producer to learn more about one of the famous culinary exports from this region. Your tour includes a tasting of samples of either Parmigiano Reggiano or Parma ham with a glass of local wine.

Our guide was very nice, picked us up. Not sure what picture is in the ad for it, never saw anything resembling this castle. Unable to see the cheese being made, as our tour was in the afternoon, didnt know that until the day before. There was no vinyards, although we did taste their wine. The Parmasan cheese was delicious, but the tour disappointing.
