Highlights

Discover a unique side of the Modena countryside through a small-group food experience in the famous cherry hills of Vignola. This tour goes beyond the classic balsamic tasting by introducing you to three different and fascinating interpretations of balsamic: the traditional balsamic vinegar aged in wooden barrels, a rare apple balsamic produced by a small local artisan, and a unique cherry balsamic linked to the territory’s most famous fruit. Along the way you will visit local producers, learn about traditional production methods and taste these distinctive products. The experience ends with a relaxed picnic in a beautiful cherry orchard featuring local specialties such as Parmigiano Reggiano, cured meats and cherry products. It’s the perfect experience for food lovers who want to discover authentic flavors and hidden gems of the Modena hills.
