"Culture" of good food
Emilia Romagna has the highest number of European quality brand names in Italy and Maranello is a symbol of good Emilian cuisine.
Eating well is a skill passed on from generation to generation; the genuine and home made flavours of our tradition combined with our well known hospitality will make your experience unique.
Along the route of wines and flavours of Città Castelli Ciliegi you will discover the tastes of an ancient culture: interesting and extravagant eno-gastronomic programs among cellars, oil-mills, cheese factories, vinegar makers, typical restaurants and shops…
Our taverns and restaurants will offer traditional and innovating menus allowing you to discover our delights: Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena, Parmiggiano Reggiano, Tortellini e Tagliatelle, boiled meat, gnocco e tigelle to eat with our famous cheeses and cold cuts, Vignola's cherries…everything sprinkled with our Lambrusco DOC.
