Famed foodie regions
• Emilia Romagna •
Emilia-Romagna is Italy’s gastronomic gem, the birthplace of prosciutto and mortadella ham, parmesan cheese, bolognese ragù and balsamic vinegar. Up in the hills, vineyards cover the slopes like lines of militant soldiers, and down on the coast you’ll discover seafood restaurants and fish markets brimming with life. Known as the ‘Food Valley’, there’s nowhere quite like UNESCO-bestowed Parma when it comes to tantalising your tastebuds, with the area boasting the highest number of certified food products in all the Emilia-Romagna land. Then there's Bologna, with a culinary claim to fame that’s significant thanks to ragu alla bolognese.
• Tuscany •
From rolling Tuscan hills dotted with vineyards to the history and culture of Florence, Tuscany is full of the charm and romance that Italy is known for. For food and wine connoisseurs, it doesn’t get much better than Chianti - Tuscany's famous wine-making powerhouse that’s all silvery olive groves, terracotta-roofed towns, and scenic vineyards. As well as being the birthplace of Chianti wine, this picturesque pocket boasts numerous Italian hidden treasures, and ancient villages with historic architecture, all to be visited and discovered.
