About This Tour
Discover the authentic flavors of Bologna on a 3-hour private food tour in the heart of the city. You will walk together with a local guide among the scents and colors of the Quadrilatero Market, crossing Piazza Maggiore and the Jewish Ghetto, listening to stories and curiosities about the Bolognese gastronomic tradition. Along the way you will stop at three historic shops to taste typical specialties. The tour ends in an intimate wine shop, a welcoming place with a warm atmosphere, where the guide will greet you leaving you in the expert hands of a sommelier. Here you will experience a guided tasting of three Italian wines, accompanied by delicious appetizers. To make the experience even more original there is the Sommelier’s Game: an interactive challenge with 10 questions designed to have fun and discover something more about wine. At the end you will receive a digital certificate, a personalized evaluation and advice on the wines that best suit your tastes.
