Emilia Romagna tour: DAY 1 – Thursday
Landing in Parma airport; then private transfer and overnight stay in the hills of Reggio Emilia. Here you will start you 4-day royal experience in Emilia, where exceptional hospitality meets timeless excellence.
The province of Reggio Emilia is the perfect destination for those seeking relaxation, culture, and a journey through history. Nestled among rolling hills and breathtaking landscapes, this enchanting territory invites visitors to slow down and discover its unique heritage. It was here that the legendary Great Countess Matilde of Canossa ruled during the Middle Ages, leaving an enduring legacy that shaped European history. Exploring these lands means stepping back into a fascinating era of castles, fortresses, and power struggles, while enjoying the authentic beauty, traditions, and hospitality that make Reggio Emilia an unforgettable destination in a tour in Emilia Romagna.
DAY 2 – Friday
Your day begins with an exclusive visit to a local producer of Parmigiano-Reggiano PDO. Known as the “King of Cheeses,” Parmigiano-Reggiano is still crafted today using the exact same artisanal methods as eight centuries ago. First, watching the expert casaro (master cheesemaker) at work, you will discover why this cheese is considered a masterpiece of Italian cuisine and the undisputed star of the Food Valley. Then, the experience concludes with a guided tasting.
Afterward, your Emilia Romagna tour continues to Parma for a guided tour of its elegant historic center. Strolling through the refined atmosphere of the Parco Ducale, you will visit the monumental Teatro Farnese, the Camera di San Paolo, the Cathedral (Duomo), and the Baptistery. Along the way, you will have the chance to admire the breathtaking frescoes of Correggio, the 16th-century genius whose art made this city immortal.
The day will end with a dinner at a fine-dining restaurant and overnight stay.
DAY 3 – Saturday
This third day of Emilia Romagna tour begins in the foothills of Reggio Emilia. Here you will be introduced to the secrets behind one of the region’s absolute crowning achievements: Aceto Balsamico Tradizionale di Reggio Emilia DOP (Traditional Balsamic Vinegar). Aged for over twelve years in the attics of ancient vinegar cellars (acetaie), this precious elixir traces its roots back to the Middle Ages, when these very lands were ruled by the Great Countess Matilde of Canossa. In conclusion, you will be delighted by an exclusive tasting.
After that, we journey to the historic center of Reggio Emilia for an elegant stroll through its historic streets and main squares. Here, majestic churches, grand palaces, towers, and the iconic Romolo Valli Theatre frame the landscape. A mandatory stop includes the Sala del Tricolore (Tricolor Flag Hall) to discover the rich history behind the birth of the Italian flag, dating back to 1797.
In the afternoon, transfer to the beating heart of the Motor Valley to encounter the region’s other undisputed king. The adventure kicks off at the Ferrari Museum in Maranello, a true temple of elite motorsports showcasing legendary cars of the past and visionary prototypes of the future. For those looking to elevate the experience after soaking in the myth of the Prancing Horse, the day can culminate in a memorable, private onroad test drive: the unforgettable thrill of feeling the sheer power and speed of the world’s most famous “Rossa” (Red Car).
Finally, your dream day of this Emilia Romagna tour will conclude with a special dinner at Michelin-starred restaurant and overnight stay.
