Today you will enrich what commonly would be a simple (and probably boring) transfer with a sightseeing tour and a great food experience!
After crossing the northern border of Tuscany and entering the Emilia Romagna region, you will have a first stop at one of the marvelous cheese factory that produce one of most famous and world-celebrated cheese: the Parmigiano Reggiano!
Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese derives from an admirable synthesis of special milk, heat, cheese making craftsmanship and long natural aging.
The rounded forms, 20-24 cm in height and approximately 40 cm in diameter weigh an average of 37 kg. With its sharp flavour, it is quite nutritional and has a high biological value.
A tasting of different ages of Parmigiano will be had - of course - together with a quick visit of the factory.
To follow, and always taking avantage of the journey, stop on the way and pay a visit to one of most important and charming cities in Italy: Bologna.
Bologna, the capital of the Emilia-Romagna region, other than being (as all Italians say) a sort of paradise for all gourmets and foodies, is full in art and history.
The highlights of the medieval shape, enchanting city center of Bologna include the Basilica of St. Petronius, the two Towers (Torre degli Asinelli and Torre Garisenda, whose iconic leaning forms provide a popular symbol of the town) and a net of beautiful streets with shops and arcades (there are some 24 miles of porticoes in the city's historical centre!).
Try in a typical wine shop some slices of "mortadella" typical ham and a glass of Lambrusco, the most famous local production.
Leaving from Bologna, you will be in Venice in less than 2 hours.
Stop in Piazzale Roma, the large square that's the gate to Venice and its only vehicle-permitted area, and drop off.
From here, you can arrange a Water-taxi transfer to your destination in Venice city center - or ask us and get a quote to do it for you!
