Discover Parma and its delicacies with a local professional guide.Benefiting from its position as one of Italy's most prosperous cities, Parma has every right to feel smug. This is the city that gave Lamborghinis to the world, a composer called Verdi and enough ham and cheese to start a deli chain. Stopping here isn't an option, it is a duty.

Many well known food excellences, like the famous "prosciutto" (ham), Parmesan cheese and the aromatic Malvasia wine, were born on the sweet, sun-kissed hills of Parma – thus making this area the the ideal hideaway to enjoy some mouth-watering delicacies. But that’s not the only tempting feature of this generous land. Think about beautiful landscapes spotted with castles and family homesteads, vineyards, dairy farms and food museums; picture yourself walking around a wine cellar, smelling the freshly picked grapes, or tasting a slice of savoury, matured Parmigiano Reggiano.

This is what we’re going to learn (and enjoy) together.
