There is no better area than Mantua for an oenogastronomical tour, thanks to the ancient cuisine and dairy tradition, next to a remarkable wine tradition, and the ability in making special "salami" and "mostarda".

The historical guided visit of the city will help you to understand why Mantua became so famous for its banquets and parties in the past, and still is.

In the morning there will be a guided tour of Mantua, including the visit of the Ducal Palace, the Cathedral, the Basilica of St. Andrea, the medieval heart of the city with the Town Hall and the Rotunda of St. Lorenzo.

We can learn how the Parmesan Cheese or Grana Padano is made and stored by visiting a local cheese factory.

We will not miss the visit to a vineyard and wine cellar and taste the sparkling Lambrusco or thetop wines of Garda.

There is also the opportunity to taste the "salami" and the home made spicy preserve called "mostarda", perfect accompaniment to cheese.
