Alexandra, our guide, was passionate and informative. After tasting the different vinegars you begin to truly appreciate and understand how the aging process is critical to the final product. The acetaia was located in a beautiful little town which only added to the experience.
Thank you for visiting our Acetaia and for your kind review!
Very informative unique tour of a traditional historic process in an ancient tower. Steep ladders and steps are involved however but worth the trip. Guide was very knowledgeable and interesting facts. It’s a bit out of Moderna so you’ll need to rent a car. Only wish it was more time for the tasting as well-fell a little short in the end-but fantastic samples of both their DOP and IGP vinegars.
Dear Frank, it was a great pleasure having you here for the tour! Thank you for your kind review.
Fascinating tour, beautiful location in a very picturesque village and incredible balsamic vinegar. Highly recommended.
Thank you for your kind review! It was a pleasure having you here for the tour.

Thank you very much for visiting our Acetaia! It was a great pleasure to have you here.
The entrance already makes you smell the scent of other times. We searched the village for the story and found it! Elina welcomes us and tells you can only catch the light in her eyes in telling the flavor, tradition... family! Great experience, after a Taste we purchased with great satisfaction excellent products. To return
Grazie mille della sua gentile recensione! E' stato un vero piacere avervi qui a "La Vecchia Dispensa".
If you don't know the difference between DOP and IGP yet, this is the place for you. It's just a great experience and the little town just underlines everything. We spontaneously booked a viewing and tasting from one day to the next. Alexandra received us warmly and her guidance is top. Great English, deep professional knowledge very understandably brought closer and tips when buying balsamic. Added to this was an amazing tasting that brought the products convincingly closer to you. The problem, the next supermarket visits will probably be very critical 😉. We can unconditionally recommend this experience, a must for this region. Thanks again to Alexandra.
Grazie mille per la bellissima recensione! Vi aspettiamo di nuovo qui a La Vecchia Dispensa! Un caro saluto
