Description

Learning The Art Of Italian Cuisine 
Your day begins at a charming 19th-century mill nestled beside the Ceno River, in the small village of Bardi, transformed into a picturesque country-chic bed and breakfast. Here, you'll meet the 'resdora' - a local culinary expert who will guide you through a private hands-on cooking class featuring traditional local recipes. Under her expert guidance, you'll learn to prepare three authentic dishes that capture the essence of Emilian regional cuisine.

Tasting The Real Local Savour
At the end of your culinary experience, an aperitif in the cellar, once the underground premises of the mill mechanisms, and an exclusive lunch with the dishes previously prepared by yourselves are waiting for you!

Visiting An Ancient Fortress
Explore the magnificent Bardi Fortress, a stunning medieval stronghold dating back to the 10th century, with a private guide: you'll uncover the fortress's fascinating history, walking through rooms that once belonged to the noble Landi dynasty and immerse yourself in the legendary tale of the knight Moroello, whose ghostly presence adds an extra layer of intrigue to this historic landmark.
