In a compact perimeter, where every corner tells centuries of history, you can taste the authentic flavours of Ferrara among typical dishes, desserts and local wines.

It starts with an unusual breakfast of amberjack and cappuccino in a historic shop in the city.

Next, a tasting of local cured meats accompanied by the typical twisted bread, the “coppia,” and two first courses that are symbolic of Ferrara cuisine: pumpkin cappellacci with butter and sage or meat ragù and macaroni pie, a pasta heart with white mushroom and truffle ragù, enclosed in a sweet puff pastry shell. All this will be accompanied by a fragrant glass of local wine, the renowned “wines of the sands” of the Bosco Eliceo.

The food and wine expert will guide you on a pleasant walk through the ancient streets of the centre and the historic shops, revealing curiosities about Ferrara's cuisine and the traditions that have shaped the city.

The experience will end in the heart of the Addizione Erculea, where you can enjoy a second helping of typical desserts — the chocolate tenerina and the Panpapato IGP, a Christmas dessert — accompanied by a final liqueur surprise, also produced in Ferrara.
