I would like to learn more about the route "Strade dei Vini e Dei Sapori di Parma." I am a cultural anthropologist specializing in food. I will visit Parma and the region in the end of October. F.J., Amsterdam. The 'Strada dei Vini e dei Sapori di Parma' is split into three by the via Emilia and the A15.
This creates the specific 'Strada del Prosciutto e dei Vini dei Colli', 'Strada del Culatello di Zibello' and 'Strada del Fungo Porcino di Borgotaro'.
In other words, if you want to do the whole of the wine and flavours road in the province of Parma, you can break it up into three days by wine, salami and mushrooms.
Without going into detail, this is what you should be seeking out route by route.
