Parma
1 hour 30 min
Wow! As a guide I just love this first tour! First we visit the traditional Makers of Parmigiano Reggiano and take in all the cooking and ageing processes before having a big platter of freshly cut tasting! You will meet the makers and have a fabulous talk about the history and insider product and nutritional facts and a few myths! This tour never ceases to amaze me and really is the perfect start for our day!

Langhirano

We continue the theme of traditional hand-made (edible!) masterpieces! We tour the ageing house of the amazing Prosciutto di Parma ham. Cured in this almost sacred valley by the Mediterranean salt air stream. Tastings galore also follow. This venue is exclusive to FWT.

Country valley drive and Castle of Torrechiara photo call! What a great spot to stop off and often the fields are brimming with freshly grown produce adding to the sparkling aromatics of this valley... as it opens up into the mountains. Spectacular!
