Local Cheese and Charcuterie Tasting Tours

Explore the rich culinary heritage of Valchiavenna through guided tasting tours of local cheeses and charcuterie. These tours often visit small, family-run producers or traditional 'crotti' – natural caves used for curing and storing food due to their constant cool temperatures. Participants learn about the production processes of local specialties like Bitto, Casera, and Bresaola, followed by generous tastings paired with regional wines and bread. It's an authentic sensory experience that celebrates the flavors of the mountains. Tours vary in length and price, often including transportation to various locations.
