Italy's Food Capital

‘Bologna is a jewel!’ The gastronomic delights of the Emilia-Romagna region are legendary and provide lots of material for any Italian cookery course. Bologna is the home of parmesan cheese, balsamic vinegar and Parma ham. Pasta shops in Bologna specialise in tortellini, piled in tantalising mounds with an amazing variety of mouth-watering fillings that change with the season. No cooking holiday in Bologna would be complete without learning to make these delicious pastas for yourself. The classic Bologn ragu is a staple food practically worldwide, although you might find yourself surprised at how the Bologn actually make this famous sauce. The food is often rustic as is the villa, Palazzo Minelli, that you get to stay in while undertaking Flavours cooking holiday in the Emilia-Romagna region.

There are a variety of fantastic wines from this region and also the famous Nocino liqueur. Even on our short, four-day breaks we make sure that there is ample opportunity for our guests to taste for themselves a variety of wines.

Bologna is also an enchanting location for a cooking holiday with its galleries, museums, theatres and churches comfortably providing plenty of entertainment away from the kitchen! There's lots more than cooking on the menu and our itinerary is full of exciting things to do and see!
