  • 5Great Balsamic Tour

    Family run operation where you meet the father and son who run this place. Elizabeth, our tour guide was very knowledgeable of the balsamic aging process and gave us great insight as to how it is produced and the certification process. The food tasting with the different balsamic vinegars was wonderful. I highly recommend this tour.

  • 5Fabulous Balsamic Tasting and Tour

    A wonderful experience! The history of Modena Balsamic Vinegar is surprising and engaging, and the guide made it come to life for us. Meeting the family made it personal and fun - how many grapes to make a liter of basilico? We had booked the gourmet tour from Viator, quite a surprise and lovely food and hosts. This is a 10 out of ten tour!

  • 5Simply and incredible...

    Simply and incredible experience. Learning if the history, process and limitations of what DOP Balsamico is blew my mind. I love to cook, and have enjoyed many aged vinegars, but I had no idea of the complexity and passion that goes into DOP Balsamico. A great experience and Elisa was excellent guiding us through the history.

  • 5Great way to learn about Balsamic Vinegar!

    While it is a drive to get there (we took a train from Firenze to Modena and then a taxi, it was well worth the trip. Very interesting tour and yummy food and balsamic vinegar tasting! We learned a lot!

  • 5Amazing visit

    What a lovely family business to visit. The lady who gave us the information about the balsamic and their other products was amazing. Very informative, knowledgeable and generous with her time. She introduced us to other members of the family who were equally as nice. It was a lovely visit we were just sorry we did not have more time.

About Modena

Modena is an Emilian city of cathedral and tower, balsamic vinegar, tortellini and fast cars, in the flat country between Bologna and Parma.

Modena's centre is a World Heritage Site: the Romanesque cathedral, carved with scenes by the sculptor Wiligelmo, the Ghirlandina tower beside it and the Piazza Grande together form one of Italy's finest medieval ensembles. Arcaded streets lead to the Ducal Palace, built for the Este family when they moved their court from Ferrara in the late sixteenth century, and the Estense Gallery holds their art collection.
