One day through the heart of Emilia-Romagna — speed, craftsmanship, and flavor in a single itinerary.

This Ferrari Museum and Emilia-Romagna food tour brings together two of Italy's most celebrated traditions — world-class gastronomy and legendary automotive engineering — in a well-paced, easy day trip departing from Bologna.

You will visit a working Parmigiano Reggiano dairy to witness the centuries-old production process of one of Italy's most prized cheeses, followed by a stop at a traditional balsamic vinegar producer in the hills of Modena, where aged barrels and slow craftsmanship define the process.

The route then continues to Maranello, home of the iconic Ferrari Museum, where the history of the prancing horse is told through rare cars, championship trophies, and engineering milestones. A light lunch in the Modena countryside provides a relaxed pause between the culinary and automotive highlights of the day.
