A very fun and interesting tour we chose to visit a Parmigiano Reggiano producer, Prosciutto producer and a Balsamic vinegar producer all three were small to medium in size giving us a good representation of the producers in the region. Our guide Paolo Matteucci was perfect he stayed with us the whole time not just turning us over to the owner/staff at each location. It was clear Paolo has a strong relationship with these folks adding to the experience. The four of us were amazed how good his english was which added to how much we all learned from him. We will definitely be refering Emilia Delizia to our customers heading their way.

We were fortunate enough to have Paolo all for ourselves. He was very knowledgeable and profesional. The parmesan part was our favorite, we were right in the middle of cheese processing. Next we visited a well known balsamic vinegar producer. Paolo walked us through their cellars and provided us very valuable information on balsamic vinegar production. The ham museum tour is very informative but not so immersive as the others. Due to the corona situation there is no actual tasting but they offer packed salami instead. I wish we would have opted for the extra option on this one. Overall we were very happy with the tour and the information provided.

An Emilia Delizia food tour is an absolute MUST when visiting the area! A friend and I did an afternoon balsamic vinegar tour/tasting before heading to a parmigiano reggiano producer for another tour/tasting. Our tour guide was warm, knowledgeable, and personable as he took us through these different sites. The history and details that make up production for these two D.O.P products is remarkable, and I would do this our again in a heartbeat.

A great tour for any foodie. We opted for the pickup in Bologna and the full tour of the Prosciutto proprietor. Paulo made our day, full of details and relayed it all in a fun, informative and upbeat manner. The highlights were the tastings, the world's best balsamic, parmesan and hams. You can't beat it. Will create memories that will last and you'll be reminded of your day in Italy each time you eat such well crafted foods.

We cannot say enough about our Modena Foodie Tour with Kayleigh. She picked us up right on time at the Modena train station with a driver and we went straight to see the production of Parmigiano Reggiano which was incredible to watch. We had a front row view with the head cheese makers and got way more education on this process than we had anticipated. And we loved every minute of it. Kay was a clear expert. After the tour we got to taste the cheese which was to die for. We then went to taste Balsamic vinegar. The smell greeted you from outside the property. Kay taught us so much and was so knowledge about this process. The property owner joined us with his family and shared their family history and this made the experience so special. Not to mention the taste of authentic balsamic was something we had never experienced. We had a few spare minutes after this tour and we sat and had coffee and got to chat with Kay which was a delight in and of itself before heading to MUSA. This was a really cool part of the tour where a MUSA tour guide takes you through the history of charcuterie and then at the end of the tour you sample meats on the terrace. At the end of the day Kay offered to take us to downtown Modena instead of straight back to the train station and even spent a few extra minutes sharing about the city itself. She even arranged an impromptu and behind the scenes tour of the market area (which was otherwise closed on Sunday) This was an incredible experience I won’t ever forget and Kay was a top notch tour guide. I would 100% recommend this if you are in Bologna/Modena.

This "foodie tour" was the perfect way to start our Italy vacation. Paolo picked us up at our hotel and educated and entertained the 5 of us as he drove us (don't drive yourself, you miss too much fun) to the Parmigiano Reggiano dairy, a beautiful tiny boutique Balsamic Vinegar vineyard, and a bonus visit to a Prosciutto producer. Generous samples at each stop so we could appreciate the craft and aging process of each product. This tour was absolutely worth the price, and was one of the highlights of our trip.

Really couldn't have asked for this to be better in any way. Our guide, Paolo, was on time, extremely knowledgeable, spoke perfect English, and was extremely friendly, patient, and seemed interested in the food and ensuring we had a great experience. We were taken to three facilities and served a very generous and educational sampling at each, as well as local wines. We were given the opportunity to purchase all of the products we learned about, which we did, but we did not feel pressured at any time to do so. Truly a 10 out of 10, probably our favorite day in Italy so far.

Fantastic tour. We were a little worried about finding our tour guide but we needn’t have been. He turned up in time and immediately recognised two lost souls!
Straight off to the Parmigiano Reggiano dairy and our guide was so knowledgeable and made the visit interesting and we learned so much. We then went on to see the Balsamic manufacturer and again really interesting and well explained. Our tour guide was so helpful in explaining the process to us. Ice cream with balsamic vinegar - spectacular!
Then off to the Cured meat experience. This was the only down side of the experience. The museum side of the facility was closed. The tour guide was extremely upset as they had not informed anyone that this was happening. However, he was very quick to sort this out with Gabriele and we had a partial refund to our account within a couple of hours.
We weren’t pressurised into buying anything but we were so glad we did. We have thoroughly enjoyed eating our purchases.
We would recommend Emilia Delizia to anyone who loves food! We have told all our friends and we hope that some of them come to Modena for the tour.

Thank you for the review and apologies for the closure. There has been many changes due to Covid and we were not informed of the closure. This seems to be solved now.

We had the most incredible day on our food tour with Kay. We were picked up by a private car a the train station and our first stop was a small Parmesan producer where we were able to see the entire production process and taste the delicious product. We moved on to a prosciutto producer which included a generous tasting of their products, and ended at a basalmic vinegar producer that has been family owned for generations. Each experience was authentic and the producers all took such joy in sharing their craft. Kay was both charming and a wealth of knowledge and we thoroughly enjoyed our time with her. If you are in Modena- do not miss this experience!

The tour was excellent. My wife and I were the only ones on the tour, and Paolo was a great host. The cheese factory allowed us to get right up to the vats, and taste the big round of raw parmesan (no thrill, it is tasteless!) Lots of free samples. The balsamic farm was even better- really interesting to see production and taste on a small family farm. The meat museum was the weakest link, but we were the first tour after they had re-opened, so maybe they need some polishing. A couple of the videos they showed were almost comically bad. Still, quite interesting. We were staying in Bologna, and it was an easy morning train ride to Modena to pick up the tour. Paolo left us in Modena, which has a superb market where we had an enjoyable lunch.

Hi, I'd like to join the tour Chauffeured Mozzarella Tour From Salerno on 29th September. As I'm a solo traveler, is there any possibility I can join another visitor group or do the tour alone ? I also need transportation from Salerno station to the cheese factory. Looking forward to your answer.
Written August 28, 2018
The Mozzarella is a private tour, we need 2 people booking at the same time, so there is not group to join in this case. And yes this tour departs and returns to Salerno

Hi Emilia,
I would like to join the 3 gourmet food in one day. However we are staying in Florence, do you think it's possible to do a day tour from Florence? I saw there is an express train departure at 06:53 Firenze S. M. Novella and arrival at 07:28 Bologna Centrale.
Do you think it's enough time to catch your tour?
Also, I would like to know the price of the 3 gourmet food tour in total for 2 pax. We don't mind to join the group.
Many thanks!
Best,
Michelle

Hi
Thank you for requesting more info about the food tour.
Please have a look at this option that starts from 119 euros per person from Modena (only 15 minutes by train from Bologna) we can also pick you up for Bologna or Parma and add lunch at our organic winery (see additional costs) .
Just a few things:
the 119 euros price is valid when booked at least 2 weeks in advance and it is Monday to Friday (see details on site for weekends and late booking)
If you require pick up from Bologna or Parma we can do that and it costs 119 euros per group (not per person).
We depart from Modena train station at 8.30 am and Bologna train station at 7.30 am, the tour ends at about 12.30 but if you add the winery lunch\cookery class will end at approximately 14.30 hours. We take visa, and MasterCard. Advance booking is highly recommend.
