21 tours · €29–€275 per person · ★ 4.9
Every Bologna food tour here was picked by hand: we read every listing and kept 21 tours rated 4.5★ or higher. Prices run from €29 per person for a food and wine tasting to €275 for a private day in Emilia Romagna with lunch. The guided walks take you between local food stops, with several bundling pasta and wine into a meal along the way.
A quick way to choose: a Bologna market tour can cover the guide alone, with food and drinks paid for separately; on the private Emilia Romagna day, pickup and transport depend on booking the car and driver option. Check dietary restrictions before booking, as some walks cannot accommodate vegan or gluten free diets. The best reviewed food tours in Bologna come first below.

Choose the Food and Market Tour's Express option for a short walk. Choose Local Specialties, Pasta, Wine and Gelato for pasta at a trattoria, with wine and gelato.

Food and Wine Experience (4.96 from 81 reviews; €29 per person) is a seated tasting of wine, cheeses and cured meats rather than a walking meal. Meal coverage belongs to the named product, not to the word market.
Plan around 3 hours and €84 per person as listed for a food experience. This collection also includes seated tastings and full day producer visits, so choose the format first. Across 21 listings, the middle half of prices is €67 to €145. 14 of 21 have a listed minimum duration of up to three hours; longer options can sit on the same card. Private Emilia Romagna Food Tour (4.9 from 133 reviews; €275 per person) is a full day producer visit whose starting price requires your own car and a meeting in Parma, not a walk departing Bologna.
Choose Taste Bologna for a shared market walk with pasta at €115 per person. Choose private for your own party; menus and formats differ. The 14 shared and 7 private listings have medians of €75 and €186 per person, a spread between different products, not a premium. Food Tour by Taste Bologna (4.85 from 458 reviews; €115 per person) includes handmade pasta and wine and needs two guests to run. Private products include walks and seated tastings. Booking minimums and per person rates depend on the option and party size.
For vegetarian food or a gluten free request, start with Taste Bologna and give notice at booking. Dinner, Wine and Food Tastings offers vegetarian food but is not recommended for vegans or coeliacs.

Gluten free is not a coeliac safety guarantee; confirm requirements with the operator.
Plan to travel to the meeting point for a shared food walk: none of the 14 shared listings flag hotel pickup. Private producer trips can require a separate transport option. Hotel pickup is flagged on 2 of 21 listings, including 2 of 7 marked private. Private Emilia Romagna Food Tour (4.9 from 133 reviews; €275 per person) has a starting price for By Own Car from Parma; pickup from Bologna is a separate option.
