How do I choose between the food experiences in Parma?

Decide first whether you want to eat in the city or go behind the scenes. Walking food tours stay in the centre and focus on tastings of local delicacies and wines, while producer tours head out to dairies and ham cellars to show how Parmigiano-Reggiano and Prosciutto di Parma are made.

Do I need a car to reach Parma's food producers?

No. The producer tours and combined food experiences typically include transport from a central meeting point in Parma, so you can reach the dairies and ham cellars without driving yourself. If you prefer to stay on foot, the city-centre walking tours cover the historic core and its food shops entirely on foot.

Parma's food and producer tours are popular year-round, and several of the most-booked options sell out ahead of time, especially at weekends and in spring and autumn. Booking a week or more ahead is sensible for dairy and ham producer visits, which run on fixed schedules.
