Wine Experience | Colli Bolognesi

Meeting point: Pick up at the Hotel in Bologna or Modena

Description

A few kilometres from the city centre, the verdant hills above Bologna are rich of history and famous for their typical products. In fact, not everyone knows that the hills above Bologna have for many centuries been travelled by pilgrims and traders on their way to Tuscany.

Here there are ancient hermitages and sanctuaries, very suggestive hidden paths immersed in greenery, including the famous Via degli Dei, which connects Bologna to Florence, and it is precisely among these hills that Pignoletto wine is produced.

An area of extraordinary scenic, historical and cultural richness, known worldwide for all for the quality of its food and wine offerings. With extremely varied altitudes, soils and microclimates, it is a land dedicated to the production of quality wines, from the great red wines that have brought this territory to the world, to Pignoletto, which finds here the locality from which it takes its name. A food and wine tour that will introduce you to the area's producers of excellence and, with the convenience of a private transfer, you can enjoy the breathtaking panorama that these splendid hills have to offer.

With the guided tour, you will discover two historic wine cellars in the hills of Bologna, visit the vineyards and observe the stages of wine-making. Of course, during the visit, you will also taste local wines accompanied by a selection of traditional Bolognese food. To round off your discovery of these picturesque hills in a mouth-watering way, you will have lunch in a delicious typical trattoria, where you will discover the flavours of the territory and tradition.
