About this experience
This is a 3-hour private tour in Bologna that combines a visit to local markets with a professional wine masterclass. You will explore the Quadrilatero Market, Piazza Maggiore, and the Jewish Ghetto, guided by an expert who will share the history of "La Grassa". The tour includes stops at three historic delis for tastings of authentic local delicacies. After the market visit, you will go to a historic wine cellar for an hour and a half of professional wine tasting, led by a sommelier. During this session, three prestigious Italian red wines will be paired with a platter of cold cuts, cheeses, balsamic vinegar, and authentic Bolognese ragù. The tour concludes with the "Sommelier Game," a 10-question challenge about wine, which provides a digital certificate and personalized wine recommendations. This experience is suitable for food and wine enthusiasts but may not be ideal for those with dietary restrictions related to the included tastings.
