Overview

Experience the best of Bologna with this exclusive 3-hour private tour that masterfully combines the vibrant energy of local markets with the elegance of a professional wine masterclass. The first part of the tour is a dynamic journey through the scents and flavors of the Quadrilatero Market, Piazza Maggiore, and the Jewish Ghetto. Alongside an expert local guide, you will explore the history of “La Grassa” (The Fat City), stopping at three historic delis to savor authentic local delicacies.

The second part marks a distinct change of pace: your guide will escort you to a historic wine cellar where, in a reserved area, you will enjoy an hour and a half of professional wine tasting led by a sommelier. Here, three prestigious Italian red wines are paired with a rich platter of cold cuts, cheeses, balsamic vinegar, and a warm taste of authentic Bolognese ragù.

The experience concludes with the interactive “Sommelier Game,” a 10-question challenge to test your knowledge, complete with a digital certificate and personalized wine recommendations.
