A Delicious Day in Emilia-Romagna - This tour was amazing and was absolutely one of the highlights of our trip! We learned a lot (and enjoyed the tastings) at every stop on the tour: the Parmigiano Reggiano dairy, the family-run Balsamic Vinegar factory in a quaint village, and the farm where we made tortelloni and had a beautiful lunch in a picturesque setting. We found the cheese and vinegar making processes really interesting, and had a lot of fun making pasta from scratch. Alice is an excellent guide; she is very knowledgeable and personable. She made the day very special because it felt like we were being shown around by an old friend. If you want to experience some of the titans of Emilian cuisine the way the locals do (and avoid the tourist traps), this is the tour for you!

A Perfect Taste of Emilia-Romagna with Alice - This tour was an unforgettable journey through the flavors of Emilia-Romagna, made even better by our fantastic guide, Alice. We started at a Parmigiano Reggiano dairy, where we watched the cheese being made and enjoyed a delicious tasting of aged varieties. Next, we visited a traditional acetaia to learn the secrets of balsamic vinegar. The tasting—from young to decades-old vinegars—was a true highlight. The day ended at a beautiful farm, where we made fresh tortelloni filled with ricotta and spinach, then sat down to enjoy them with a glass of excellent Lambrusco.

The highlight of our Italian vacation - My wife and I went with 2 other couples, and this was an amazing experience. We are all really into food and enjoy making our own pizzas and pasta as well as other Italian-inspired dishes, but we still learned a lot from this tour. We found the cheese-and vinegar-making fascinating, and the tastings gave us all a new appreciation for the time and process necessary for this level of quality. But the pasta making (and eating!) was the real star. Enrico is an excellent instructor, and Nonna's fritatta and ragu with our tagliatelle is exactly what we hoped to eat at such a traditional Italian-family meal. The wine was delicious, the village was remarkable, and the company was excellent. It was a fabulously authentic Italian experience. Aly is an amazing guide. She is a joy to be with, and she provided so much interesting insight. Her enthusiasm is infectious, and she made the whole tour fun and fascinating. As Americans, we struggle a bit with the Italian language, but Aly's English is perfetto. We thoroughly enjoyed this excursion, even moreso than many of the other sights and experiences in and around Bologna and Modena. We all highly recommend Aly and this excursion.
