Amazing tour and tasting
Amazing tour. Entertaining and educational. Attila was a great host and tour guide. And of course, the cheese was delicious
via Tripadvisor
A fascinating journey into the world of Parmigiano Reggiano
What a nice visit, interesting and well organized. The route is clearly explained and accompanies step by step between the production tanks and cheese forms stacked on huge shelves: a truly impressive and imposing vision. Very engaging also the part dedicated to the supply chain, up to the milk producers who contribute to the production of Parmigiano Reggiano, allowing you to better understand all the work and care behind each form. Excellent final tasting of the cheeses, which allows you to appreciate the different maturations and characteristics. Also welcome is the opportunity to buy products directly in the shop, so as to take home a concrete memory of the experience. A recommended visit for those who want to discover a true Italian excellence up close.

That's great!
I was on this outing with my family, and we were delighted! Our guides, Karina and Attila, were really nice and good with explanations, not to mention the fantastic tasting! Thanks for this day😘

Very interesting
Excellent visit. Showing the production process of Parmigiano Reggiano. The presentation by Atila was enriching for this knowledge. The storage of the cheeses is surprising. At the end there is a small tasting that also shows the difference of cheese by age! It's worth it!

The perfect place for lovers of Parmesan cheese! Passion, commitment and kindness. Like at home but in a dairy ♥️
I bought the visit to the dairy through their online website as a Christmas gift for my husband (it consists of a voucher that can then be transformed into a real booking and is valid for 1 year). Today we went for the guided tour (available in both English and Italian) and what about... really wonderful! Mary our guide is very kind, friendly and prepared! After a first introduction to Parmigiano Reggiano and the difference compared to the Padano, we entered the dairy where we could see the machinery and an initial part of the processing (Mary explained step by step the various phases, tools and timing of processing, we participated in the visit at 11.00 but if I'm not mistaken if you do the visit first you can observe the very first stages of processing and alas when we arrived we were already finished) until you get to the most spectacular and impactful part which is definitely the aging room. For lovers of Parmesan it will seem to enter a la mecca or paradise.... A myriad of forms of Parmesan cheese are neatly lined up in shelves, divided by seasoning, with a machine that brushes and turns them to dry evenly. Finished with the dairy, you can visit the stables (when we went there were also puppies) and the milking room. After the guided tour ... and with your mouth watering ... we then move on to the tasting ... A GREAT THING! We tasted fresh ricotta, the first salt, white cow Parmesan (a delicacy) and then the different maturations (even 100 months) of Parmesan cheese combined with honey, Modena vinegar and even chocolate. All really delicious and accompanied by Mary's expert guide who was able to involve us and explain the various differences by giving us suggestions for tasting. We also got to know the owner and founder of the dairy: a kind, welcoming woman who transmitted to us all the commitment and love for this job as beautiful as it is challenging. We felt like at a lunch at the house of friends, in a convivial and pleasant environment. It is a family business that looks to the future but maintaining solid principles and a very human approach. It's not one of those super inn places where the suit guide explains things to you and then gives you a micro taste... here you really try and try everything and you feel like family. After the visit and the tasting you can of course buy their products (or alternatively order them in the online shop) and not only... there were tortellini, Modena vinegar, wines... a bit of everything, but of the territory. They also gave us some great tips on where to have lunch in the surroundings 😄 I put 5 because I can't put more, but really over-deserved!

Why this scores 70
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Modena Private Tour of Organic Parmigiano Reggiano with Tasting: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bologna.
How much does Modena Private Tour of Organic Parmigiano Reggiano with Tasting cost?
+
Prices start at $91 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Bologna usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Modena Private Tour of Organic Parmigiano Reggiano with Tasting take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Bologna is not rushed.
Is Modena Private Tour of Organic Parmigiano Reggiano with Tasting worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 25 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Bologna, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Modena Private Tour of Organic Parmigiano Reggiano with Tasting?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Modena Private Tour of Organic Parmigiano Reggiano with Tasting suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Modena Private Tour of Organic Parmigiano Reggiano with Tasting?
+
Around 9 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Bologna can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Bologna and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Modena Private Tour of Organic Parmigiano Reggiano with Tasting start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Bologna within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Bologna?
+
On Outty we rank every Bologna experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Bologna Local Pasta Cooking Class, Ragu, Spritz, Wine & Gelato, Bologna Food Experience: Factory tours & Lunch By Italian Days, Small Group Bologna Food Tour – Local Food & Market Experience. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Bologna?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Bologna?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

Where is the meeting point for Modena Private Tour of Organic Parmigiano Reggiano with Tasting?
