Modena Balsamic Vinegar Tour & Tasting with Monica
Description
Meet your host Monica, a guide at the modern Malpighi acetaia, for a local balsamic vinegar tour and tasting. You will learn about why the region of Modena is world-renowned for its balsamic vinegar and how it is made. You will visit two barrel rooms and a museum of vintage vinegar utensils. The proportion of black to white grape juice and the order of the wood that the vinegar is transferred in is what distinguishes the Malpighi family’s vinegar from others. After your tour you will enjoy a tasting of vinegars of various ages, ranging from 5-25 years, and see if you can determine the age of each vinegar based on its taste. You will leave the experience with one bottle of Saporoso (100 ml) and one bottle of flavored balsamic vinegar.

Very informative and interesting with lots of history! Great detail on the process and differences in the real balsamic vinegar. Would recommend! The passion of the tour guide with her family history with the vinegar made it even more special.
Local great advice to try x believe pizza excellent welcoming staff all great I will often return x taste great dishes
The madam was going to tour us the brewery and show us how to pair food. She had health condition problem, so her brother ( I guess who is the CEO) lectured us the process of making Balsamico. He was very good presentation and everything he Showed us and told us was extremely interesting. Then he recomended three examples of usage of Balsamico. All of them tasted great. They also have cookbook in English as well as Q code shows us the cooking book. We really appreciate the CEO to be very kind for us and answering all the questions as well as pick up at the station.
