🍰 Stop 1: Sweet Start at a Historic Bakery

đź«“ Stop 2: Tigelle & Tradition

Head to a rustic eatery to try tigelle, a type of mountain bread served warm with local delights like lardo pesto, aged cheeses, or grilled seasonal vegetables. Learn how these flavors reflect Bologna’s mountain-meets-valley cuisine.

🍷 Stop 3: Wine at Osteria del Sole

Step inside one of Italy’s oldest osterias—Osteria del Sole, a hidden gem that’s been pouring wine since the 15th century. Here, enjoy a glass of Lambrusco or Pignoletto, just like the locals do.

🧀 Stop 4: Cured Meats & Cheese at the Deli

We visit a renowned salumeria to indulge in a handpicked tasting of regional salumi, Parmigiano Reggiano, and other artisanal cheeses, served with rustic bread. Your guide will share tips on how to recognize authentic DOP products.
