WHAT YOU VISIT
A Taste of Parma: Flavors, Tradition & Discovery
Renowned as the Italian Food Valley, Parma and the entire Emilia-Romagna region is considered by many to be the gastronomical and culinary heart of Italy, especially its cheeses. First, you'll embark on a guided walking tour of Parma's historic center. Later, your journey continues to an authentic Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese factory. Learn the process of how the "King of Cheeses" is created and hear the stories of the artisans who keep this tradition alive every day while sampling three different aged cheeses, paired with local wine.
PHOTO OPPORTUNITIES
While your guide brings Parma to life with stories and secrets, you can take photos of medieval marvels such as Piazza Garibaldi, home to Governor's Palace with its iconic clock tower and Piazza Duomo, site of the magnificent Baptistery, whose exterior dazzles in pink marble and the Cathedral (Duomo) Romanesque architecture, acclaimed for its intricate carved stone.
LUNCH
Expect a generous tasting of antipasti, fragrant prosciutto di Parma, and handmade tortelli - soft, delicate, and filled with authentic local flavors. It's a true introduction to the soul of Parmesan cuisine.
WHAT YOU SEE ALONG THE WAY
Your 105-minute journey from the pier into the heart of Emilia-Romagna travels through what's known as Italy's "breadbasket."
