Who wants to spend an evening in Bologna sipping wine and listening to excellent jazz has no choice: choose the Cantina Bentivoglio. Yes, because the winery over the years has established itself as a true temple of jazz music in the city, bringing important guests on the international scene.

Enoteca with restaurant kitchen, Cantina was born about 50 years ago as a warehouse for wines and wine shop: wines were brought from the countryside in carboys and stored, waiting to be put into bottles and sold to families who could not make wine in their cellars ( widespread habit, this, in Bologna 60s).

It 's only in 1982 that the old tavern was transformed into an inn with food, beginning the task that still plays. In 1989 from the cellars of the sixteenth century Palazzo Bentivoglio, until then used as a warehouse and cellars of the inn, wass derived the current Sala Musica, for which it is really worth making a trip to this osteria that doesn't really offer a class restaurant menu , but its offers refined and sophisticated music in the jazz music scene, it's worth all the money spent.

And if you decide to make a stop in Bologna, the advice is to go to winery between July and August: throughout the summer, in fact, it opens the gazebo outside of the orange lights of the arcades of Bologna in an even more suggestive, and together with the two adjacent spaces will be created in the end part of Via Mascarella (closed to vehicular traffic) "The Jazz Lounge", an outside demonstration where you can eat and listen to music.
