Modena: Balsamic Vinegar Cellar Guided Tour

2. Modena: Balsamic Vinegar Cellar Guided Tour

Discover balsamic vinegar the king of condiments, full of secrets and traditions that are handed down generation to generation. You will have the option to follow Claudio or grandfather Franco, inside the acetaia, to discover its origin and history. From our 10 hectares of vineyards, including 5 of trebbiano modenese, we select the best grapes for the production of our balsamic vinegar. After cooking it is moved inside the barrels of each battery, where it remains to age for many years until it reaches the smallest barrel and from there it is then bottled. It is a product that requires a lot of patience. In addition to traditional balsamic vinegar, for some years now we have also been producing PGI certified balsamic vinegar with less aging but at the same time highly appreciated for its versatility and taste similar to the traditional one. Claudio then developed other condiments to try to create products very similar to traditional balsamic but which required less aging. If you want to discover the true shades , the real differences between traditional and commercial Baslamic, come and visit us.

If you seek the embrace of humanity while traveling, Luisa and Ilaria offer that warm hug of food, friendship and cultural understanding. Luisa’s self-proclaimed, ‘simple meal,’ was delightful, tasty and plentiful. Ilaria’s lively conversation was fun and thought provoking. We enjoyed each others’ company fully.

The welcome is very warm. The very interesting explanations and the surprising tasting. Real balsamic does not resemble anything we know in France.

Interesting, also from the history and the museum! Learned a lot about and from Lambrusco, especially the new Lambrusco. great guide!

Vitoria was lovely and kind, the tour was amazing and very interesting! Strongly recommended

Gracious hosts with lots of family history and heritage to share. The food was fantastic.
