Tour with a tasting of the authentic Traditional Balsamic vinegar
Descrizione

The tour provides an excellent overview of how balsamic vinegar is produced, and I learned several things I hadn’t known before — including the surprising fact that heat plays a more important role than cold temperatures in the aging process. Seeing the rows of aging barrels was genuinely fascinating and added authenticity to the experience. However, the conclusion of the tour shifts noticeably toward product sales, and the pricing did not feel meaningfully lower than what one might find at other retail outlets. I would have expected a clear cost advantage when purchasing directly from the producer, but that wasn’t the case. Another point worth noting is that Viator does not clearly explain the logistics of getting to the venue. It is a long countryside drive, and in our situation — staying in Reggio Emilia — it took about 45 minutes. Even from Modena, the trip would be roughly 20 minutes. Fortunately, we had access to a car, so the journey was manageable. Had we needed to rely on a taxi or rideshare, it would have been quite expensive. On a positive note, the family running the operation is warm and welcoming, and the complimentary coffee and pastries were a thoughtful touch that added to the hospitality
perfetto, i highly invite to do this tour
Wonderful tour. Sophia and staff are extremely warm and friendly. Small production balsamic filled with passion from a family owned and operated business. My wife and I thoughly enjoyed the education and hospitality. We wish you continued success.
A lovely drive to the countryside. Gracious hosts. Beautiful garden. Thorough and detailed tour of their operation. Pleasantly relaxing. Delicious products!
Dear Teresa, thank you so much for your kind words! We’re truly delighted to hear that you enjoyed the drive through the countryside, the tour, and the relaxing atmosphere of our garden. It was a pleasure to host you and share our work and products with you. We hope to welcome you back again soon for another peaceful and delicious experience.
A tour in this Acetaia should not be missed. Beautifully located estate with a large garden for relaxation. During the approximately 90-minute tour of the facility, one learns everything important about the history, tradition, and production of Aceto and the various Aceti from Modena, which can then be tasted and purchased at the end. Very nice reception and super friendly staff. Absolutely recommended!

Visited Acetaia Malagoli near Modena and had a fantastic experience. We were warmly welcomed by Domenica and another lovely guide, who walked us through the barrels, explained the production process, and made the whole tour engaging and easy to follow. The tasting was a highlight—getting to try different ages of traditional balsamic vinegar really showed the depth and craftsmanship behind it. You can feel the passion and tradition in every step. A genuine, authentic experience I’d absolutely recommend if you’re in the area.
