Wine tasting in Bologna

Availability: September–April

A classic Bologna wine walking tour is the perfect way to slow down and sip your way through the city like a local. Bologna does wine in a wonderfully unpretentious way — think lively osterie and cozy enoteche where the focus is on good bottles, good conversation, and that warm atmosphere that makes you want to stay for one more glass.

As you walk between stops, you’ll get regional wines explained in plain English, with no sommelier jargon: what makes Lambrusco such a local favorite, why Pignoletto works so well as an aperitivo pour, and where Sangiovese fits when you want something deeper. The pace stays relaxed, with time for photo breaks and practical recommendations for where to drink and eat later.

  • Wine bars locals love: osterie and enoteche
  • Regional wines explained simply: Lambrusco, Pignoletto, Sangiovese
  • Relaxed pace with photo stops
  • Local recommendations for the rest of your trip
