In a compact area, where every corner tells centuries of history, you can taste the authentic flavors of Ferrara with typical dishes, desserts, and local wines.

It kicks off with an unusual breakfast of amberjack and cappuccino in one of the city's historic shops.

Next, you'll enjoy a sampling of local cured meats, accompanied by the typical twisted bread, the “coppia,” and two iconic Ferrara pasta dishes: pumpkin cappellacci with butter and sage or meat ragù, and macaroni pie, a pasta heart with white mushroom and truffle ragù, enclosed in a sweet puff pastry crust. All this will be accompanied by a fragrant glass of local wine, the renowned “wines of the sands” from the Bosco Eliceo.

Our food and wine expert will guide you on a pleasant stroll through the ancient streets of the center and the historic shops, revealing curiosities about Ferrara's cuisine and the traditions that have shaped the city.

The experience wraps up in the heart of the Addizione Erculea, where you'll enjoy a double helping of local sweets – chocolate tenderloin and Panpapato IGP, a Christmas treat – along with a final surprise liqueur, also made in Ferrara.
