A slow route through foliage, tradition and outstanding hospitality at the Borgo of Balsamico<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Autumn is a special season to discover Emilia: the hills are tinged with gold and copper, the air becomes crisp and nature invites you to slow down. It is the ideal time for a regenerating break amidst the scents of must, village festivals, farmers' markets and authentic tastings. And if you choose to stay at the Borgo del Balsamico<\/a>, in the green heart of Albinea, you can enjoy a charming experience immersed in history, nature and timeless flavours.<\/p>\n

1. Explore the Reggio Emilia countryside among vineyards and foliage<\/h2>\n

The surroundings of Albinea offer bucolic landscapes ideal for walks and bike rides among hills covered with vineyards, oaks and poplars that in autumn explode in a palette of warm colours.
You can set off on foot from Borgo, following paths through the rows of vines and perhaps stop at a rustic trattoria for a typical lunch of erbazzone, pumpkin tortelli or gnocco fritto with local cured meats.<\/p>\n

2. Visit a Parmigiano Reggiano cheese factory<\/h2>\n

Just a few minutes from Albinea you can find dairies that produce the king of cheeses using traditional methods. Some offer guided tours and tastings.
The smell of the ripened wheels, the tale of the cheesemakers, and a taste of Parmigiano with a few drops of Balsamic Vinegar of Borgo\u00a0<\/a>\u2026 An experience that smells of real Emilia<\/em>!<\/p>\n

3. Gourmet stop: markets, festivals and typical products<\/h2>\n

Autumn in Emilia is the season of festivals dedicated to mushrooms, chestnuts, pumpkins and new wine. Between September and November, nearby villages such as Viano, Scandiano or Quattro Castella organise authentic events celebrating rural culture with food, music and handicrafts.<\/p>\n
