Culinary Journey Parmigiano Reggiano and Tortelli Cooking Class

Join us for a 5-hour culinary adventure in Reggio Emilia featuring a guided visit and tasting at a Parmigiano Reggiano dairy farm, grocery shopping for fresh ingredients, a traditional aperitivo, and a hands-on cooking class to prepare tortelli in a local apartment—with round-trip transportation from Reggio Emilia train station included. Cook, eat, and connect like a local—nonna would be proud!

Parmigiano Reggiano Dairy Farm:

Our day begins at 8:30 AM at the Reggio Emilia train station (Piazza Guglielmo Marconi). From there, we’ll head to a traditional Parmigiano Reggiano dairy farm, where you’ll witness the fascinating process behind the world’s most iconic cheese. After a guided tasting, you’ll also shop for fresh ingredients directly at the farm—essentials for the cooking class ahead.

Aperitivo & Briefing:

Then, we’ll return to my apartment in the city of Reggio Emilia, where you’ll be welcomed with a traditional aperitivo featuring Lambrusco wine and Erbazzone, our signature savoury pie.

Tortelli cooking class:

Next, it’s time to roll up your sleeves and join a hands-on cooking class, where we’ll prepare tortelli di ricotta e erbette—fresh pasta filled with ricotta, spinach, and Swiss chard, just like our grandmothers (nonne) used to make. You’ll learn traditional techniques in a relaxed and homey atmosphere.
