The experience

The tour starts in Brescia's old town and moves through four tasting stops over four hours. You'll eat bertagnì, casoncelli and a polenta skewer, dishes that define Brescian cooking, and drink a spritz or craft beer at each point. A panoramic walk connects the stops, so you're not just eating. You're moving through the streets where these foods belong. The guide is a local who knows the history behind each dish and the locales that serve them.

You choose between a shared tour on Saturday mornings (up to ten people) or a private tour any day Tuesday through Sunday. Both formats include the same four gastronomic stops, full lunch and a guided walk. The shared Saturday group keeps the atmosphere intimate and gives you a chance to meet other travelers. The private option lets you set the day and pace with your own group.
