Parma Incoming

Immerse yourself in the soul of Emilia with a two-day experience that takes you from Parma’s historic flavors to the rolling hills of Piacenza. Savor local specialties in the heart of the city, then ride through vineyards and medieval villages on a scenic e-bike adventure.
We’ve designed a refined two-day experience that speaks to both the curious traveller and the passionate foodie: local tastings in charming shops and family-run producers, breathtaking landscapes, and encounters with the people who keep these traditions alive.
It’s not just a tour — it’s a celebration of Emilia’s soul, where culture, cuisine, and nature move in harmony.

Welcome to Parma, where every step tells a story — and every bite reveals centuries of tradition.
Accompanied by your private local guide, you’ll wander through the elegant heart of the city, starting from the iconic Piazza Duomo, where ancient stones echo with sacred art and timeless architecture. But Parma is more than a feast for the eyes — it’s a celebration for the palate. As you stroll through cobblestone alleys and charming artisan corners, your journey will be enriched by unforgettable tasting moments: the unmistakable scent of aged Parmigiano Reggiano, the softness of Prosciutto di Parma melting on the tongue, the comforting crunch of torta fritta, and the refined pleasure of a sweet local dessert paired with an espresso. In just a few hours, you’ll discover the soul of Parma — a city where food, culture, and warm hospitality come together in perfect harmony.

E-Bike Adventure in the Piacenza Hills: Medieval Villages, Fine Wines & Local Flavours.
Get ready to breathe deep and ride free through the rolling green hills of Piacenza — a land of vineyards, stone hamlets, and slow-paced charm.
On your comfortable e-bike with a private guide, you’ll follow scenic countryside roads, stopping first at a boutique winery to discover the secrets of Vin Santo, Italy’s most iconic dessert wine. From there, the medieval village of Vigoleno awaits: a picture-perfect gem with its stone castle and timeless atmosphere. After a relaxing lunch break, the ride continues to a traditional Salumificio, where you’ll taste the rich, authentic flavours of Pancetta and Coppa Piacentina DOP, true treasures of local gastronomy.
As the sun begins to dip, the final climb leads to Castell’Arquato — a jewel perched on a hill, suspended in time. Stroll through its cobbled streets, admire the fortress skyline, and soak in the peaceful silence of this fairy-tale town.
To cap off the day, you’ll return to the winery for a final toast: a guided tasting of Piacenza wines, paired with local delicacies — the perfect ending to a day full of beauty, discovery, and taste.
