It is over in well under an hour, and alcohol is served to adults only. 4.96 at €29 per person. ## Overview Our activity stands out for its unique blend of tradition and innovation in the heart of Bologna. You will experience personalized wine tastings using the advanced Rewine technology, which tailors wine suggestions to your preferences. Our guided tastings by expert sommeliers and taste artisans offer a deep dive into the rich culinary heritage of Emilia-Romagna. Additionally, you can enjoy a variety of local food specialties and engage with our interactive SOMMELIER GAME, making the experience both educational and entertaining. Plus, receive an exclusive fridge magnet to bring a bit of Bottega botlé with you! ## Before you book - Meeting point: - By Foot (From the Central Train… - 11 start times: between 12:30 and 20:00 - Food included: see what is included - Wheelchair accessible: operator-marked - Strollers OK: infants accepted - Age 18+: minimum age to join ## Key facts - Price: from €29 per person - Duration: 45m - Rating: 4.96/5 from 81 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Recommended by 100% of travellers (share of four- and five-star reviews) - Operator: Bottega botlé ## What's included - A glass of Pignoletto Fermo + a glass of Sangiovese In Purezza + a glass of Sangiovese Appassimento (dried grape). - Sommelier Game: Test your wine knowledge with our tecnology. - Mortadella Bologna; Parmigiano Reggiano 24 months; Local food; Local cheese; Aceto Balsamico IGP; Monocultivar Oils...and more - Exclusive fridge magnet: Bottega botlé style. ## Schedule - Runs: Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat - Departures: 11 start times between 12:30 and 20:00 - Schedule last checked: 2026-09-29 - These are published departures, not a live seat count; availability is confirmed at checkout. ## Cancellation For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time. ## Meeting point - By Foot (From the Central Train Station) 15-minute walk, straight down Via dell'Indipendenza - By Public Transport (Bus) From the Train Station: Take Bus Line 11 or Line 25 and get off at the Rizzoli stop - By Private Car & Parking Parcheggio Piazza VIII Agosto, located just a 5-minute walk Map: https://www.google.com/maps/place/?q=place_id:ChIJ3cUbhL3Uf0cREXprhfKSR4k ## Good to know - Wheelchair accessible - Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller - Service animals allowed - Public transportation options are available nearby - Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap - All areas and surfaces are wheelchair accessible - Not recommended for pregnant travelers - Suitable for all physical fitness levels - We will serve alcoholic beverages to persons over the age of 18, as required by applicable law Booking asks for: dates of birth ## Compared with other Food Tours | Tour | Price | Duration | Rating | Group | |---|---|---|---|---| | **This tour · #7 of 21** | €29 | 45 min | 4.96 (81) | private | | [Small Group Bologna Food Tour – Local Food & Market Experience](/italy/bologna/tours/small-group-bologna-food-tour-local-food-market-experience/?format=md) | €110 | 4h 30m | 4.97 (922) | shared | | [Bologna Food & Market Tour with Local Dishes, Pasta, Wines & More](/italy/bologna/tours/bologna-food-market-tour-with-local-dishes-pasta-wines-more/?format=md) | €60 | 2h | 4.95 (1734) | shared | | [Private Bologna Food & Market Tour with 6 Tastings & Wine](/italy/bologna/tours/private-bologna-food-market-tour-with-6-tastings-wine/?format=md) | €188 | 3h 30m | 4.97 (115) | private | Ranked #7 of 21 in Food Tours by Guidekin score (rating weighted by review volume).
