Just 36 miles west along the Via Emilia, Parma reveals why chefs and music lovers make the trip: Parmigiano Reggiano aged 24–60 months, prosciutto cured in the Langhirano hills, and an octagonal pink Verona-marble baptistery (1196) by Benedetto Antelami. Around Teatro Regio and Santa Maria della Steccata, the city still echoes with Verdi and Toscanini. On the way, you pass dairies, ham cellars, and—on a south wind—the distinct, nutty scent of aging cheese.
Collected from your Modena hotel, you’ll have a Mercedes at your disposal all day, with flexible stops while your dedicated driver handles routing and parking. Start with a booked dairy visit to watch the 9:00 a.m. curdling, continue to Langhirano for hand-sliced prosciutto, then spend the afternoon at the baptistery and a caffè on Piazza Garibaldi before an easy ride back. You taste and tour; he drives and waits. If a local market is on, we simply adjust the schedule.
