Have you ever wanted to know just how professional baristas manage to make the perfect coffee? Well now, thanks to the Coffee and Gelato Experience Tour, you can.
Emilia Delizia has just launched a guided tour of local culinary delights in the Bologna and Modena areas, including how the area makes its world famous coffees, ice creams and Balsamic vinegar.
Here, tourists staying in Bologna, Italy, can get a hands on coffee experience and learn how to make the best cappuccinos, caffe lattes and espressos in this famous part of the world.
As part of the tour, participants will visit some of the most famous coffee makers in the whole of Italy, in both Bologna and nearby Modena.
