Food n Walk Tours
Join one of our wonderful Italian food tours! Italy Food experience begins in Cinque Terre as it is only 50 minutes drive from or to prov. Parma: 5Terre a rugged portion of coast on the Italian Riviera. It is in the Liguria region of Italy, to the west of the city of La Spezia. The Five Lands comprises five villages: Monterosso al Mare, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola, and Riomaggiore.
Many of our clients combine the great tastes of Parma with the great Riviera experience of Cinque Terra and the wonderous fine Arts of Florence and Rome.
The coastline, the five villages, and the surrounding hillsides are all part of the Cinque Terre National Park and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The Cinque Terre is noted for its beauty. Over centuries, people have carefully built terraces on the rugged, steep landscape right up to the cliffs that overlook the sea. Part of its charm is the lack of visible modern development. Paths, trains and boats connect the villages, and cars cannot reach it from the outside. It is a very popular tourist destination.
In 1998 the Italian Ministry for the Environment set up the Protected natural marine area Cinque Terre[1] to protect the natural environment and to promote socio-economical development compatible with the natural landscape of the area.
In 1999 the Parco Nazionale delle Cinque Terre was set up to conserve the ecological balance, protect the landscape, and safeguard the anthropological values of the location.

Tour Description:
Parma's Treasures: A gourmet Parma Food journey:
Parmesan cheese, Parma ham and Aceto balsamic vinegar, all DOP product await your arrival.
Our day starts with a visit to one of the truly rustic traditional makers of Parmigiano
Reggiano cheese, made following the same trusted methods just as it was 700 years ago.
You will watch the family cooking, separating the yellow whey and lifting this magnificent DOP product into cheesecloth for the cutting. The shaping and salting rooms are equally enthralling as we begin to realise the enormous amount of care and daily toil this product requires. Moving on from the salting vaults we enter the ageing room: the stagionatura.
Here among the maturing golden wheels is where the fullest, richest aroma, ignites the senses as we learn how after 12 months, the Consorzio experts, taste, test and skilfully hammer the cheeses before the ritual of branding. Finally, we taste.
We then head off on a fascinating journey to a renowned Prosciutto di Parma curing house, in the lush, picturesque highlands of the Langhirano valley, all about run the true Lambrusco nero vineyards Via Francigena paths and salt smugglers trails. The air floods the heartland of the Parma Ham DOP production area but more than that perhaps it is the nutritious Parmesan whey that produces the creamy, rich, melting textures of Italy's most famous cured ham.
Our lunch settles us into the perfect point of reflection as we taste the treasures and sip the fantastic Malvasia crisp fresh white frizzante wine. In the castle we eat Michelin restaurant with award winning dishes.
The final destination is a gleaming jewel in the crown. First mentioned in writings in 11th century, DOP Aceto Balsamico Tradizionale is the missing link for all gourmet and slow food fans. Never to be confused with ordinary Balsamic Vinegar, this Aceto Balsamico Tradizionale is produced solely from the best sweet white Trebbiano grapes in an organic estate that is simply a wonder of nature.
We stand in a 500 year old aromatic loft, gaze and sip the wonder.

Emilia-Romagna Travel Guide for Food Lovers (Bologna, Forlimpopoli, Faenza, Modena, Parma) in Italy Travel Food Video Transcript:
So good morning from Italia!
We are back in Italy. This time we're exploring the region of Emilia-Romagna and we're going to be spending three days here eating, drinking, exploring. Yeah. So exciting. This is a food heavy tour and I can't wait to just like devour as much Italian food as possible and we're also going to be doing quite a bit of travel too. Yeah, so we're starting things off in Bologna and we're also going to be exploring a few destinations so tag along.
So this afternoon in Bologna we are climbing Torre Prendiparte. This tower was built in the late eleventh century, early twelfth and we're supposed to get some amazing views of the city from the top.
You can actually stay inside the tower and it has some pretty cool accommodations
So we made it to the top. We had to climb twelve stories on rickety wooden stairs to get here but the views are spectacular even in the rain.
So this morning we are going to be cooking. We're currently in Forlimpopoli. This is the hometown of Pellegrino Artusi and he basically created the first Italian cookbook in Italian. We're going to be preparing some of the recipes in that cookbook.
So we watched the demonstration. Now it is time to create our own pasta. It is one hundred grams of flower to one egg.
So I've got my pasta now it is time to I guess make it into different shapes.
So this is Mio Laboro. My hard work with pasta to feed an army.
Lunchtime. We get to eat the pasta we made.
So we just finished a wonderful lunch but the day is not over yet. Next up we're doing a vineyard and wine tour so we're just going to take a little look around and see what we can find. Yeah, so this place is called La Palazza to drink wine.
So last night we spent the night at an agriturismo and that is kind of like a home stay but in a rural farm setting in a vineyard.
So this morning we are visiting Acetaia di Giorgio and we're learning about the Balsamic Vinegar making tradition.
Alright, so Brendan and Audrey we are doing a taste test of Balsamic Vinegar.
So what did you think of that original traditional balsamic vinegar?
So for today's lunch we are getting a little bit fancy. We're currently at Antica Corte Pallavivina Relais. It is basically like this old fortress slash castle in Parma.
I'm walking through a tunnel of ham. You have prosciutto, salami and some different meats and cheeses.
So I'm trying Frizzante Rosso and it is a traditional type of wine and if you look down here you can see it is in a very traditional cup not a typical wine glass.
So this morning we're at a dairy farm learning all about the Parmigiano-Reggiano. It has been cool just seeing how like the production and how it is stored.
Welcome to world of Parmigiano Reggiano. Look at all of this cheese
So we're vising the Enzo Ferrari Museum and in terms of all of the things we've done on this trip this is going to be one of my favorites I think. And if you look up here it the museum is actually shaped like the engine of a Ferrari so the design of the actual museum is really cool.
And because this is an Italian museum everyone is having coffee. I'm having gelato. This flavor is called paradiso. I think it is mango.
Well, our time in Italy has come to an end. We're currently at the airport in Bologna enjoying one final lunch eating pizza.
This is part of our Travel in Emilia-Romagna, Italy video series showcasing Italian food, Italian culture and Italian cuisine.

Places to see in ( Parma - Italy )
Places to see in ( Parma - Italy )
Parma is a university city in Italy's Emilia-Romagna region, famed for Parmesan cheese and Parma ham. Romanesque buildings, including the frescoed Parma Cathedral and the pink marble Baptistery, grace the city center. Classical concerts take place at the Teatro Regio, a 19th-century opera house. The Galleria Nazionale, inside the imposing Palazzo della Pilotta, displays works by painters Correggio and Canaletto.
If reincarnation ever becomes an option, pray you come back as a Parmesan. Where else do you get to cycle to work through streets virtually devoid of cars, lunch on fresh-from-the-attic prosciutto and aged parmigiano reggiano, quaff crisp, refreshing Lambrusco wine in regal art-nouveau cafes, and spend sultry summer evenings listening to classical music in architecturally dramatic opera houses. Smarting from its position as one of Italy's most prosperous cities, Parma has every right to feel smug. More metropolitan than Modena, yet less clamorous than Bologna, this is the city that gave the world a composer called Verdi and enough ham and cheese to start a deli chain. Stopping here isn't an option, it's a duty.
Dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary, Parma Cathedral is considered one of the finest examples of a Romanesque Cathedral in Italy, and is particularly known for its fantastic interior frescos. As the main Baptistery of Parma, this structure sits next to the cathedral but actually dwarfs it in size and stands higher than the central point on the roof of the cathedral.
Parma has a number of charming squares, but the most notable is the Piazza Giuseppe Garibaldi that can be found to the south of the cathedral in the historic town centre. Located within the Palazzo della Pilotta complex, the Teatro Farnese is one of the most renowned example of a wooden theatre that stands today.
Tucked behind the cathedral is another fantastic church – The Church of St. John the Evangelist that was created in the 1500’s during the Renaissance. Constructed in the late 1500’s, this complex served various functions including a royal palace and a court. Parts of the structure remained unfinished and thus create a strange combination of plain stone architecture together with decorated facades and beautiful arched walkways. Within the complex you can find The National Gallery, The Biblioteca Palatina and the magnificent Teatro Farnese.
Parma has several beautiful parks, but non as expansive and luscious as the vast Parco Ducale. Covering over 200 square metres, this park is one of the central places of recreation in Parma and is simply known as “The Garden”. Located across the river adjacent to the Palazzo della Pilotta, the park is easily accessible.
Another fine establishment that is located within the Palazzo della Pilotta complex, the National Archaeological Museum was founded in 1790 and has housed a fantastic collection of ancient artefacts and relics ever since. If you are looking for a day trip from Parma, the quite country village of Torrechiara offers a different experience.
( Parma - Italy ) is well know as a tourist destination because of the variety of places you can enjoy while you are visiting Parma . Through a series of videos we will try to show you recommended places to visit in Parma - Italy
