Notes

Program: the described program may undergo minor changes in the timings

Pick-ups: If you add the car + driver supplement from a specific town, you will be picked up at your hotel downtown. If out of town, you could be asked to pay a further supplement

Live production: being artisanal and not industrial products, the working cycle is not repeated every day at the same time, so it is not guaranteed to see craftsmen at work at each site (for example: Wine and Vinegar making, Prosciutto di Parma, Culatello)

Driving license: an internationally valid driving license with at least 1 years of driving are mandatory for the test-drive

Guide: the tour does not include a private guide following you up during the tour: each visit is run directly by the producer in a private mode

Our drivers are NOT driver-guides, since this kind of professional profile is forbidden by the Italian law
