But the great food and wine aren't the only tempting features of this generous land. Think about beautiful landscapes spotted with castles and family homesteads, vineyards, dairy farms, and food museums. Picture yourself walking around a wine cellar, smelling the freshly picked grapes, sipping an aromatic Malvasia wine, or tasting a slice of savoury, matured Parmigiano Reggiano.
