What You Will Do
The 9-hour itinerary across the Apennines mountain range includes visits to the production sites of Parmigiano Reggiano cheese and Traditional Balsamic Vinegar in Emilia-Romagna.
Next, we'll visit Canossa Castle to learn about Queen Matilde's history. Afterwards, we’ll take a scenic drive through Apennines National Park to a farm in the mountains for a farm-to-table lunch.
After lunch, we can take a stroll through the surrounding forests and see free-range pigs and other animals. We’ll also explore a 100-year-old chestnut orchard with the farm owner.
Finally, we’ll visit Pietra di Bismantova, a rock formation from the last Ice Age mentioned by the writer Dante Alighieri. We’ll enjoy an easy 30-minute hike to the top for a stunning 360-degree view, but if you prefer not to hike, you can relax at the bottom or grab a coffee nearby.
Be sure to wear comfortable shoes with good grip for the hike!
