Homemade fresh pasta is a tradition in Emilia that has been passed down from generation to generation. It’s a childhood memory, a moment of celebration and togetherness with family and friends. Like every Italian dish, each house has its own recipe. A recipe made not only of ingredients but also of consolidated habits and secrets passed down. It’s a recipe deeply rooted in the family’s history, whether for tortelli, anolini, ravioli, gnocchi, tagliatelle, passatelli, maltagliati, strozzapreti, or garganelli…
The tour dedicated to discovering fresh pasta in Emilia can be customized based on your tastes, specific needs, and time available. The experience of preparing fresh pasta is held in an agriturismo located in the hills of Parma. Starting early in the morning, it’s possible to include a visit to the imposing Torrechiara Castle, located in the heart of a vast wine-growing region, continue with a visit to a winery to learn about local wines, and finish the morning with an experience preparing different types of traditional fresh pasta, followed by a lunch where the dishes made with the chef’s help can be tasted.
This is a private tour, organized exclusively for you, your family, or friends.
