Visiting Emilia Romagna during the cold season will allow you to get involved in activities and experiences not possible in other times.
In October, the white truffle season starts, November is the month when we harvest olives and make the new extra virgin olive oil. Take the opportunity to hunt truffles with the truffle man and his specially trained dog, to harvest the olives and taste the first drop of the new olive oil, drink the new wine accompanied by chestnuts (very traditional in this area), visit a Parmigiano Reggiano cheese factory and a balsamic vinegar producer, and end the tour with a fabulous gala dinner at the Michelin two-star restaurant San Domenico in Imola.
