Return Details

Returns to original departure point
Half-Day Tour (5 Hours):If you’ve elected to enjoy a private chauffeur, greet your guide at your Milan hotel and climb aboard a luxurious private vehicle. If you’ve opted to drive yourself, meet your expert guide in Parma and set out to explore the rich culinary region of Emilia Romagna.

Stop first at a local cheese factory to watch artisans create the delectable dairy product; see enormous wheels of Parmesan stacked in towers and savor the creamy flavor of the cheese during a tasting session.

Travel onward to a revered Parma ham producer to sample one of the country’s most popular exports; let the marbled goodness of the ham melt on your tongue and then return to the road for the journey to Torrechiara, a quaint medieval village with a 15th-century castle.

Continue to an atmospheric wine cellar in the Colli di Param region and appease your appetite with a bounteous feast of locally sourced specialties like cured meat, handmade pasta and refined wines.

Sated, relax during the journey back to Milan, where the tour concludes.

Full-Day Tour (7 Hours):ON the full-day tour, the same itinerary as the half-day applies. After lunch at the wine cellar, head to an authentic balsamic vinegar production house to discover how the delectable condiment is made. Taste the prestigious vinegar and educate your palate to recognize the difference between flavors.

Then, return to Milan in the comfort of your private vehicle.

Please note: A minimum of two people per booking is required.

If you get the driver option this tour is REALLY expensive. It was a smooth ride, and our driver was really good. But be prepared to only spend about 35 minutes at each factory. We spent just as long parked on the side of the road looking at the castle. your going to spend most of your time driving between each location, as they are not close together. You will not get a tasting at the Parma ham factory, which is disappointing. Also the Cheese factory we went to has a store, but doesn't ship. They honestly told us, it wasn't worth their bother. So you can't bring anything with you. I am glad that we did the tour, I am just not sure we got our money's worth. The tour guy, while limited English was very good. Also, if you don't like heights, this tour isn't for you. Both the parm ham factory we went to, and the lunch location were on the top of very high hills, that required driving up steep, one lane roads. It reminded me of tours we took in Almafi.

Great tour of Parma - the Parmagianno Regianno processing plant was a great, authentic experience. The guide Claudia was knowledgeable and friendly. The tour of the Prosciutto di Parma plant was also a great experience. The food a the winery was really tasty. The tour of the winery was short, but there was not much to see anyway. We also took the optional Balsamic Vinegar tour. Not in Modena, but nearby. The hostess/owner was great and we learned a lot. Tasty vinegar too! The driver from Milan did not speak English, so it was a quiet ride. Overall, a great experience!
