About This Tour
An intimate journey into the Capital of Taste. Parma is a city of quiet elegance. We believe it’s best experienced in a personal setting, which is why we limit our groups to only 8 guests. This tiny group size allows us to step inside authentic workshops and hidden kitchens where larger groups simply cannot fit. Our morning together: Behind the scenes: gain rare access to production labs and kitchens usually closed to the public to see the craftsmanship behind the flavors first-hand. The icons: savor authentic Parmigiano Reggiano, melt-in-your-mouth Prosciutto di Parma, and the rare Culatello di Zibello—the true "King" of Italian cured meats. Local connection: meet the producers keeping traditions alive and hear the secret legends of medieval alleys at a relaxed pace that makes you feel like a friend, not a tourist. Discover the soul of Parma, one bite at a time. Bring your appetite—we'll take care of the rest.
