Ferrari: Living in the Fast Lane

Written By Admin

Be seduced by Italian good living and discover three Italian wonders: Ferrari, Balsamic Vinegar and Parmesan Cheese! Enjoy the roar of a Ferrari engine and experience the myth of the “Red Cars” by visiting the FERRARI MUSEUM in Maranello! Learn about the legend of the “Prancing Horse” through an exhibition of images of vintage cars, F1 singleseaters and admire the trophies won by the Ferrari racing teams. See the famous “Galleria del Vento” (Wind Tunnel) designed by Renzo Piano, where cars are tested for their aerodynamic properties. But Maranello and its surroundings are also a synonym for delicious specialities and typical products, so our tour continues with a visit to a famous “ACETAIA”. The owners of the estate will show you the vinegar ageing in barrels and reveal all the tricks of the trade to produce the best traditional balsamic vinegar of Modena. You will finally have the chance to taste the fine products of the farm. Your hunger for local flavor will be satisfied with a rich LUNCH IN A TYPICAL RESTAURANT where you will be able to taste a mouth watering menu of regional products. The last “pit-stop” is dedicated to the discovery of the world-famous Parmigiano Reggiano cheese. Parmesan is a protected iconic hard cheese that reigns as king for its unique taste and tradition. It’s said that Parmigiano-Reggiano has been “a great cheese for at least nine centuries” and you’ll be able to see how the traditions still live on today by visiting a CHEESE FARM.
