About this experience

Participants will explore Bologna's historic center, walking through arcades, squares, and shops while learning about the origins and traditions of tortellino, a local delicacy. The tour includes a tasting of traditional tortellini, served either in broth or with Parmigiano Reggiano cream, based on the season. After the tasting, travelers can choose between two activities: a creative leather workshop where they can make a tortellino key ring or a cooking class focused on hand-making fresh pasta. Each participant will receive a themed gadget as a keepsake of their experience in Bologna. This experience is suitable for food enthusiasts and those interested in local crafts, but may not appeal to individuals who prefer less hands-on activities. It is advisable to book in advance due to limited group sizes.
