Personal and lively tour of a balsamic vinegar cellar in the gorgeous country side outside of Modena. - This was a very informative and interesting tour. You will learn about of process of making balsamic vinegar, about the history of the family and their gorgeous house. Finally there is a tasting of food with different cheeses, omelette and also ricotta cake paired with two types of balsamic vinegar.My guide Elena was lovely and very well prepared. Her English was outstanding. There was also a shuttle service from the train station in Modena as the place is outside in the country side. Lovely experience and so worth !

A most pleasing and informstive experience! - My visit was a very pleasing and informstive experience. To me, visiting a locally owned and operated as a family business is the best experience. I was welcomed into the family house and treated like family and was able to meet some of the family. The presentation was well done and I now feel fully educated on how labor intensive and time consuming the process of producing real basalmic vinegar is. The tasting and final sit down and consume basalmic vinegar on a wide selection of snacks was phenominal!

Very Highly Recommended - Visiting this balsamic farm & the owners home, the knowledge of the guide & the fabulous tasting was fantastic. It was incredible value for money and it was a bonus being picked up from Modena train station (by the owner for €10) as he was engaging and informative. If you’d like to do a balsamic vinegar tasting, I highly recommend this one as it’s perfect and you’ll leave with a much better appreciation for balsamic vinegar.

Aceto Balsamico Tradizionale Rocks!! - A far more interesting tour than you might expect! We really enjoyed ourselves and wish we did the longer “Lunch and Tasting” version that Giorgio’s family offers. The balsamic aging process is quite interesting and we found ourselves using the knowledge gained throughout the rest of our trip in Italy. We were promptly picked up at the train station and taken to the estate where we received a crash course in traditional balsamic vinegar, saw the battery of barrels, and enjoyed tastings paired with food. We ended up purchasing one extra vecchio bottle on site and regret not buying more!

Idyllic and thorough balsamic experience - A very good balance of information and tasting in a beautiful, historic setting. While sitting in the lovely room of the mansion, our guide described the balsamic process. Moving to the barrel room, we could visually see how balsamic is aged. Finally, sitting for the tasting with the guide's guidance was an exciting culmination. The 2 ages of balsamic paired uniquely with each of the food items - and you're free to try in all combinations at your own private table. In fact, the options were in such abundance we skipped a meal that day. As an extra benefit, we used the shuttle they provided from the train station and it was seamless. Thank you!

A great lesson in traditional balsamic vinegar - The place is a family-run « acetaia » since 1905. The guide, Elena, was very knowledgeable and was able to explain the whole process of making balsamic vinegar. We met with the owner and he too was quite knowledgeable and explain the difference in 12 year old vs 25 year old balsamic vinegar. We sampled different foods with both vinegars. It was a very pleasant experience! Highly recommended.
