What you can expect

Experience Bologna through its most beloved evening ritual: aperitivo. This is not a food tour or a formal wine tasting. It's a relaxed and social evening experience designed around the places, drinks, and traditions that locals enjoy after work.

As the city begins to slow down and the wine bars fill up, explore hidden enotecas, historic wine shops, and authentic local venues tucked away in the streets of Bologna's historic center. Along the way, discover the culture behind aperitivo while enjoying a variety of regional wines, local drinks, and carefully selected aperitivo specialties.

Visit several unique locations, from atmospheric wine cellars and centuries-old shops to beloved local gathering spots where Bolognese people come to drink, eat, and socialize. Expect multiple drinks, local wines, stories, laughter, and the kind of places most visitors would never find on their own.

To accompany the drinks, enjoy a selection of traditional aperitivo specialties from Emilia-Romagna, including local cured meats, regional cheeses, traditional tigelle, piadina, authentic balsamic vinegar, and other local favorites. The food is designed to complement the drinks and showcase the flavors of the region while keeping the focus on Bologna's aperitivo culture.

This experience is all about atmosphere. It's about sharing a glass of wine in a hidden enoteca, discovering local traditions, meeting fellow travelers, and experiencing Bologna the way locals do at the end of the day.
