Bologna Old Town Food Tour with Traditional Lunch, Wine and Gelato

Explore the culinary heart of Bologna on a delicious 4-hour small group food tour through its historic Old Town. Known as Italy’s food capital, Bologna offers a rich gastronomic heritage that comes to life through tastings, stories, and local traditions.

Enjoy a generous portion of traditional handmade pasta, lasagne or tortellini, prepared according to seasonal availability to ensure peak flavor and authenticity.

A full traditional lunch follows, featuring iconic local specialties such as mortadella, salame rosa, Parmigiano Reggiano, and other regional cheeses served with authentic Balsamic Vinegar of Modena. Everything is paired with organic local wines including Pignoletto, Sangiovese, or Lambrusco.

To end on a sweet note, indulge in a gelato tasting at one of Bologna’s favorite artisanal gelaterias.
