Parmigiano Reggiano cheese factory Tour and Tasting for small groups

We booked this tour last minute and had no idea what to expect. Within the hour of booking, Claudio had contacted us to get our information and sent us photos of his van and the meeting point in Reggio Emilia, making things easy from the start. Claudio was super friendly and you can tell very passionate about his family’s business. His passion comes though in the tour. We started the morning going to breakfast at a little place in the countryside where I had the best cappuccino of my life and some local breakfast foods. This meal is included in the tour price. Then off to the RIGGIANO ;) cheese factory! This is the heart of the tour and you’re given a thorough explanation of how things work. It’s an intimate setting and feels super original because it is. This tour is seriously that great! From the factory you go to the farm and see the dairy cows. It’s a sight to see! Then you go to the final place where you’ll have a light lunch with cheese meats, wine, and balsamic, all of which are produced by Claudio’s family. To top it off you’ll get a gift at the end and the chance to buy what you want but there is no pressure at all. Claudio will return you to the train station and you will have had an amazing, authentic experience. Have you booked your tour yet? Seriously this was my favorite part of our two week Italian vacation. Book Claudio’s tour already! You won’t be sorry! Ciao!
