Pignoletto vineyards in Casalecchio đŸ˜đŸ„‚ Pignoletto is hands down my favorite Emilia-Romagna wine. What's yours? *You can visit many regional wine producers this weekend as part of the event 'Cantine Aperte' promoted by Movimento Turismo del Vino. When you walk around the Apennines, the mountains south of #Bologna, you'll often stumble upon tiny 'borghi' (villages) stuck in time - such as Palazzo D'Affrico, which features buildings dating to the 15th century. Just one of many good reasons to explore the beautiful #appenninobolognese. Put those walking shoes on and explore the beautiful hills surrounding Bologna - it's prime season for it! Find my suggestions for three top Bologna walks through the link in my bio. Wishing you a great weekend from Bologna, where It.a.cĂ , the festival of responsible tourism, is currently under way. Lots of events and walks to learn about sustainable tourism and interesting destinations in and around Bologna for the next 9 days. The beautiful Italian-style gardens at Villa Spada, a neoclassical villa built in the 18th century. This is a popular starting point for walks in the immediate hills that surround #Bologna. More tips on great walks around the Bologna hills in an upcoming blog post! Looking toward a Bologna landmark from the parco di San Pellegrino - unexpected views of the Basilica of San Luca.
