This journey around Bologna and the Emilia region’s culinary delights begins with a buffet breakfast to the tune of music at Già Baglioni Grand Hotel Majestic’s new 800 & 900 rooms adjoining the original Winter Garden, whose name derives from its characteristic early 20th century trompe l’oeil and a solarium roof open in the warmer months. 

Emilia’s multiplicity of culinary specialities makes it the choice par excellence for a gastronomic journey around its many characteristic markets, tortellini culture and Parmigiano cheese excellence.

One option is to remain in Bologna to visit some of its oldest grocer’s shops, find out more about the history of tortellini, tagliatelle and mortadella, visit the medieval market, have lunch at a typical Bologna osteria to taste some of Bologna’s specialities and finish it off with a little relaxation with some of the region’s wines at Enoteca Morandi.

An additional gourmet experience means moving outside the city to find out more about this extraordinary region’s history and taste its delicacies. First travel to Modena for a visit to one of the dairies where Parmigiano cheese is made before moving northwards first to Parma and then to Piacenza in pursuit of Italy’s most famous charcuterie: Pancetta Piacentina DOP, Coppa Piacentina DOP and Salame Piacentino DOP and the 2000 years of history of Prosciutto di Parma DOP, all washed down with excellent Colli Piacentini and Parma wines.


The Già Baglioni Grand Hotel Majestic’s staff is on hand for information and to organise a made-to-measure gastronomic tour, including cooking lessons at the home of one of Bologna’s ‘cesarine’ to discover the secrets of traditional Emila food.
