Here's some advice for your free-time

For gourmets:

Italy is a country with great cuisine and wine and both are important elements of the Italian culture. For this reason you will find these themes as part of the course, and in your free-time you can put your knowledge into practice. You can visit a winery, for example, where you can taste and eventually buy typical wine of the region. Or you can have a complete overview of the production tied to the area in suggestive locales such as the Regional Enoteca of Emilia-Romagna, inside the Dozza Fortress, where you can also have the possibility of wine tasting and/or purchase of your choice.

Those who want to know more in depth the king of Romagna wines, Sangiovese, should come in November, when Imola hosts the International Festival of Sangiovese ("Rassegna Internazionale del Sangiovese"), dedicated to the great species of grape that serves also as a base for Chianti and at this point is found diffused all over the world, from California to South Africa. Here you can taste not only the optimum vintage wine, but also a preview of new wines ("vini novelli"), that come out every year at the beginning of November.
But the wine must always be accompanied by the right food, and in order to know the typical dishes of the area you need to stop at a good restaurant.

The menu consists of popular first dishes ("primi piatti") in a million combinations, grilled meat and above all the local specialties like crescentine, tigelle or piadine (types of flat bread fried or cooked on a stone), that one can add pork salted meat, cheese, vegetables preserved in oil and sauces with a meat or mushrooms base. We offer you a cooking workshop in which you can prepare (and then taste) typical Italian dishes so that in this way you can take part of this experience with you.

November is a month rich in shows dedicated to gourmets: and once again Imola hosts the "Baccanale", an enormous festival dedicated to good cuisine which lasts two weeks with free tasting in the center. Menus directed at the theme of the festival are also offered by diverse restaurants of the area. November is also a period in which diverse towns in the Apennines organize the feast of the tartufo and caldarroste (roasted chestnuts over the fire), another local specialty.
