## Why each made the list

- **Bologna Food Experience: Factory tours & Lunch By Italian Days** — A full day of factory and production site visits out in the food valley, with generous tastings at every stop, breakfast with wine and coffee, and a multicourse Italian lunch, run by minivan from central Bologna. No hotel pickup and a single early morning departure; English only. 4.96 from 1303 reviews at €159 per person.
- **Bologna Food Valley Small Group Factory Tasting and Winery Lunch** — Three producers in one long day out of Bologna: a Parmigiano Reggiano dairy at work, an acetaia where traditional balsamic of Modena ages, and an old Lambrusco winery where the day ends with lunch and wine. Round trip transport is included but hotel pickup is not, and infants need a car seat you supply. 4.95 from 296 reviews at €154 per person.
- **Taste of Tradition: Parmigiano, Wine & Balsamic Tour from Bologna** — Three family run producers in one long day: Parmigiano Reggiano at the early morning curdling, a winery tasting and a cellar where traditional balsamic of Modena ages, with coffee and a cornetto before the dairy. The tastings stand in for a sit-down lunch and much of the day is travel between stops; English only. 5 at €250 per person.
- **Lunch and Tasting of Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena** — A visit to a family cellar where traditional balsamic of Modena still ages in barrel sets a great-grandfather started, with the tasting led by the producers themselves and lunch included. Nothing about getting there is included, so it suits people who already have a car or a train plan. 4.94 at €39 per person.
- **Secrets of Parmigiano Reggiano and Balsamic Vinegar** — Follows Parmigiano Reggiano from the cow barn through the dairy and the salting room to the maturing vault, coats and shoe covers supplied, then tastings of cheese at three ages, cured meats, Lambrusco and traditional balsamic of Modena.

- **Private Tour Parmigiano,Prosciutto,Balsamico with driver-Bologna** — A private run to three family producers with a driver and a licensed guide, watching Parmigiano Reggiano, prosciutto and traditional balsamic of Modena actually being made and tasting each with bread and wine. It is tastings rather than a meal, and one option leaves from Ravenna instead. 4.92 at €390 per person.
- **Private Emilia Romagna Food Tour Full Day** — A private day through the food valley with tastings of Parmigiano Reggiano, prosciutto di Parma and traditional balsamic of Modena, plus lunch with wine, and you choose between a car with driver or following in your own. The guide stays until lunch, a minimum party of two applies, and the self drive option starts in Parma. 4.9 at €275 per person.
- **Parmesan and Balsamic Food Tour with Ferrari Museum** — Parmigiano Reggiano tasted at several ages on the dairy farm, then a traditional balsamic maker of Modena and a skip the line ticket for the Ferrari Museum in Maranello, by minibus with hotel pickup.

- **Ferrari Museum, Ducati Lamborghini Factories and Museums** — The motor day that gets onto the factory floor, pairing the Ferrari Museum in Maranello with the working Lamborghini and Ducati plants.

- **Ferrari Lamborghini Pagani Museums - Tour from Bologna** — The museum run that adds Pagani to the usual Ferrari and Lamborghini pairing, taking in Maranello, the Casa Enzo Ferrari in Modena, Sant'Agata Bolognese and San Cesario in one shared day. Lunch is in the price; a test drive or a simulator session has to be requested well in advance. 4.74 from 46 reviews at €440 per person for 8h 30m.
- **Ferrari Lamborghini Pagani Factories and Museums - Tour from Bologna** — Ferrari in Maranello, the Lamborghini factory and museum, and the Pagani factory and museum in one day, with lunch and pickup in Bologna at the station, the airport or your accommodation. The guide works inside the factories only, and confirmation depends on the factories having room. 4.82 at €460 per person for 8h.
- **Cars&Food: Lambo, Ferrari, Parmigiano, Balsamic, PrivateTransport** — Pairs the Lamborghini museum at the works and the Ferrari Museum in Maranello, both with skip the line entry, with a Parmigiano Reggiano dairy, a balsamic acetaia and a countryside lunch, all by private car. A guide costs extra on request, and driving one of the cars is not part of it. 4.69 at €380 per person.
