A lovely time with Claudio in his Balsamic businesd
This was a fantastic experience in a little part of paradise!
Claudio was generous with his hospitality and explanation of making and the tasting.
Be sure to book a lunch to follow your tour as the food at La Vendetta is superb!
The oils are great and taking a few back to New Zealand with me!

A lovely place
Stay with dinner and tasting of balsamic vinegar. Lovely place located in the hills a few steps from Castelvetro Modenese. Elegant and well-kept rooms, spacious and well furnished. Excellent dinner with quality products. But the tasting of their traditional balsamic vinegar and seasonings, are really excellent. The owner accompanied us in the vinegar factory showing great professionalism and love for his work, quality product at honest prices, worth a visit, bravo.

Private informative visit
We had a private tour of the manufactory. That's very interesting. From mid-September to mid-October is harvest and you can experience many steps of balsamic production live. Tasting was extensive. Very pleasant guided tour by a family member of the owners

Excellent hospitality given by our host and very informative. The family runs a small hotel, restaurant and vineyard for Balsamico. The product is delicious and even have a private label Rose Lambrusco.

Authentic and truly family run
This tour was great. So informative. A lot of fun. Very intimate and personal. Great value as well.
Claudio was so knowledgeable and left as much time and space as you needed/wanted to ask questions. You saw the process from start to finish. The balsamic was so good too. The tasting did not disappoint. A lot of fun to do solo or with a group. I did it with my girlfriend and one other couple. We were there for almost 3 hours
