Wine and flavours route “Cities, castles and cherry-trees"

The Wine and flavours route “Cities, castles and cherry-trees” which winds through the hills between Bologna and Modena, guides travellers through “one of the most succulent areas of Italy”.

Spending time in this area means immerging yourself in the most authentic part of Emilia, where nature is still the boss, but above all, it means having the unique experience of tasting and discovering the secrets of one of the most noted and appreciated cookery styles in the world.

The basket of typical products which you can try along this route includes cherries, plums, potatoes, mushrooms, truffles, chestnuts and honey, as well as the undisputed excellence of the regional cooking, such as tortellini (always in broth!), Parmigiano Reggiano (Parmesan), Mortadella di Bologna and the Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena, accompanied by DOC dei Colli Bolognesi wines and Lambrusco of Modena.

The Bolognese territories which are part of the route are Zola Predosa, Crespellano, Bazzano, Monteveglio, Monte San Pietro, Savigno and Castello di Serravalle, as well as Casalecchio di Reno, Sasso Marconi and Vergato.
