Food Wine
The authentic taste of a region to experience
Staying at the Borgo means entering the most authentic heart of Emilia: a region where the landscape is not just beauty, but productive culture, artisan tradition, and knowledge passed down through generations.
Here, food is not simply tasting: it is storytelling, connection, living experience. From the vinegar cellars preserved in the attics of historic houses to the dairies where Parmigiano Reggiano is born each morning, from the ham factories nestled in the hills to the wineries that express wine as the voice of the land, each visit becomes a journey through the gestures, aromas, and stories of those who produce excellence.
The Borgo selects authentic experiences for its guests, guided tours, private tastings, and personalized itineraries to discover the local gastronomic soul with slowness, curiosity, and pleasure.

The experience concludes with guided tastings of Traditional Balsamic Vinegar and balsamic condiments of different ages, to appreciate their aromas, density, balance, and aromatic complexity. The tastings can be accompanied by small gastronomic pairings, designed to enhance the nuances of the product and offer an authentic sensory experience of the region.
