What you can expect

The experience begins with an introduction to professional wine tasting, where you'll learn how to taste like a sommelier. You'll be guided through the five senses of wine appreciation—sight, smell and taste—uncovering how to evaluate aroma, color, body, and balance with confidence and curiosity.

You'll then sample four carefully selected wines that capture the diversity of the Colli di Parma area and beyond. Among the reds, you might encounter a structured and fruity Barbera, a lighter Bonarda, or a bold Colli di Parma DOC Rosso blend. For the whites, enjoy aromatic and refreshing varieties such as Malvasia or Sauvignon Blanc, or explore more refined profiles with Pinot Bianco or Chardonnay.

One highlight of the tasting is Lambrusco, a sparkling red that defies expectations with its effervescent charm and deep regional roots. Each wine will be thoughtfully paired with local delicacies, offering the perfect introduction to Parma’s gourmet reputation. Savor slices of aged Parma ham, whose sweet-savory depth complements the tannins of red wines beautifully. Experience the nutty richness of Parmigiano Reggiano, expertly matched with sparkling whites or floral Malvasia.
The wines are all selected for their authenticity and quality, representing both traditional methods and innovative winemakers who embrace sustainable practices. Your guide will share stories about the vineyards, grape varieties, and regional DOC and IGT classifications that make Parma’s wine scene so dynamic.

This experience is not only a tasting—it’s a cultural immersion. As you sip and learn, you’ll discover how wine in Parma is more than a beverage: it's a narrative of place, people, and passion. Your setting in the historic center only adds to the charm, offering an atmospheric backdrop that connects you directly to the city’s culinary heartbeat.

Whether you're a seasoned wine lover or a curious beginner, this guided tasting offers insight, indulgence, and inspiration. Come thirsty for knowledge—and great wine.
