Highlights

Only 50 kilometers south of Parma, you will experience a time travel back to the Medieval age. At the heart of the enchanting Ceno valley lies the small but characteristic village of Bardi, overlooked by a perfectly mantained fortress.
The wonders of history and nature will be accompanied by the gastronomic excellence of the area: Parmigiano cheese, whose production and exquisite taste will be widely explained during a private visit to a local dairy factory.

Itinerary

  • Brugnoli Fratelli Soc. Agricola

    2 hoursAdmission Ticket Included
    A private guided tour will go through the production stages of Parmigiano cheese, in a plant which combines modern technologies and traditional knowledge. It will start from the green fields around cattle stables, then entering the halls with their reverse bell-shaped copper boilers and brine basins, then ending in the seasoning area. Afterwards, a complete tasting of Parmigiano and homemade bread will be offered.
  • Castello di Bardi

    2 hoursAdmission Ticket Included
    A professional qualified guide will lead the private tour of the amazing Bardi fortress, a medieval castle which belonged for more than four centuries to the noble Landi family from Piacenza. Starting from the impressive defensive structures, the tour will touch the ice house, the stables and the cellar, finally reaching the Princes'residence. Its halls are decorated with frescoes, celebrating the marriage union with Grimaldi family of Monaco. Up to the main tower, the guests will follow the steps of Sir Moroello, whose ghost is said to be still haunting the castle.
  • Bardi

    2 hoursAdmission Ticket Free
    At the end of the visit you will taste different ages of the precious cheese, with local wines and, then, you will be ready to reach a very small restaurant inside a micro-farm, for a delicious lunch with traditional dishes.
