What to expect

Set off on an unforgettable journey in the heart of Bologna, where history, art and flavours blend into a unique experience.

With a certified guide, visit the Archiginnasio, former seat of the Alma Mater Studiorum, the oldest university in the world (1088) and symbol of the city’s academic heritage. Here studied and taught figures like Laura Bassi, the first woman to graduate in biology and physics, and intellectuals such as Carducci, Pasolini, Copernicus and Tasso. The palace also hosted illustrious visitors, including Erasmus of Rotterdam and Carlo Goldoni.

Inside the 17th-century Anatomical Theatre, admire wooden statues of renowned doctors, intricate carvings and the historic chair from which anatomy was taught — a true immersion in the history of science.

After this cultural interlude, enjoy a short walk through the historic centre to a charming wine bar. An expert sommelier will guide you through a tasting of three fine wines from Emilia-Romagna, paired with typical Bolognese products made with fresh local ingredients. Then, take on the Sommelier Game: an interactive quiz with 10 engaging questions to test your palate and wine knowledge. At the end, you’ll receive a digital certificate, personalised feedback and tailored wine suggestions.

A complete and engaging tour for those who wish to explore Bologna through its culture, history, wines and gastronomy in an authentic and original way.
