If you’ve elected to avail of a driver and car, start your tour with a pickup from your hotel or preferred meeting point in central Milan. If you’re driving yourself, hop inside your own vehicle and pick up your guide in Parma.
Then, take a spin around the scenic Emilia Romagna region and seek out some of the region’s most sought-after gastronomic exports. As you travel, chat with your private guide about the history of the province and its high-quality produce.
Stop into a traditional cheese factory and watch local artisans at work. Learn about the lengthy aging process that gives the cheese its unique flavor, and see the aging wheels of Parmesan stacked high before sampling the delicious cheese for yourself.
Next, visit a Parma ham producer, who will explain the painstaking curing processes that make the ham as tender and flavorful as possible. Then, hit the road once more, stopping briefly in the medieval village of Torrechiara. Use your camera to capture photos with the 15th-century castle as a picturesque backdrop.
Continue to a wine cellar in the Colli di Parma wine region. Enjoy a lunch comprised of local specialties such as fresh pasta, cured meat and cheese, washed down with mouthwatering local wines like lambrusco and malvasia.
After lunch, begin the journey back to Milan, where your tour concludes back at your accommodation or preferred drop-off point (if option selected).
