Discover the Flavors of Parma: Parmigiano Reggiano, Parma Ham & Wines of the Hills

Immerse yourself in the heart of Italy’s celebrated Food Valley with a journey dedicated to three world-famous treasures: Parmigiano Reggiano, Parma Ham, and the wines of the Parma hills. This guided experience blends tradition, taste, and culture into one unforgettable day.

Your adventure begins at the designated meeting point before heading to an authentic Parmigiano Reggiano dairy, where the cheese is still made following centuries-old techniques. Here, you’ll watch the fascinating stages of production: from the extraction of the freshly made wheels to the brine baths and the aging warehouses. The visit ends with a guided tasting of Parmesan cheese at different maturations, paired with a glass of local wine.

Next, the tour continues to Langhirano, the birthplace of Parma Ham. After a short introduction to the territory, you’ll step inside a traditional prosciutto factory to discover the secrets of its slow curing process. Surrounded by the fragrant aroma of the cellars, you’ll enjoy a tasting of Parma Ham aged 24 months, served with freshly baked bread and a fine wine from the Parma hills.

To complete the day, you’ll visit a family-run winery in Parma nestled among the rolling hills. Stroll through the vineyards, explore the wine cellars, and learn directly from the experts about the winemaking process from grape to bottle. The experience concludes with a guided wine tasting in Parma, featuring three distinctive varieties—both red and white—that reflect the character of this unique region.
