Secret Food Tours Bologna Quadrilatero

On our Secret Food Tour: Bologna, we'll provide your tastebuds an unforgettable experience.

We'll take you to a small trattoria to indulge in the traditional Ragù alla Bolognese, taste and learn why the authentic Parmigiano Reggiano is so special, sample 8-, 12-, and 25-year-old balsamic vinegars from Modena, enjoy a carefully selected charcuterie sampler from Emilia-Romagna, and savour homemade fresh pasta created by Bologna’s very own sfogline - pasta makers.

Then, as we end our savoury stroll through the city you will get to enjoy the best artisanal gelato in town.

Quality drinks will be served at some stops, however if you would like more, a thoughtfully curated Upgraded Drink Package is available.
