Transportation to/from attractions

The visit will take place in Italian or English and will be led by the owner of the company. The visit starts with the explanation of the vineyards, which you will see all around. The vineyards are for the production of balsamic vinegar and wine production of Lambrusco grasparossa castelvetro. You will then see all the processing phases, from the pressing of the grapes, the wort boiling cooked inside the boiler, to the filtration and mixing. Continue until inside the acetaia where the vinegar begins its ageing step within the wooden barrels of different types of wood and different sizes. Here, vinegar has been ageing throughout 7 generations, and now you will see the historical vinegar factory, dating back to 1860. You will also have the opportunity to taste the 'young' balsamic vinegars, produced for use on vegetables, salad and daily use, to more 'aged' vinegars, for use on meat and fish, to enhance the flavor of more refined dishes. Then we get to the tasting of the 'Extravecchi' (very old), that have been ageing from a minimum of 12 years up to the reserves of the family of over one hundred years of ageing. You will have the opportunity to taste some typical dishes. At the end of the meal you will be offered Grasparossa Lambrusco, a wine produced on site.

Great 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.

Authentic Balsamic experience

Tour was authentic and very well presented with all the history and knowledge passed down for many generations of making balsamic!

Fabulous 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!

Simply 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.

Great 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!
