Producers of Traditional Balsamic Vinegar since 1850 Our family has been producing Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena since the mid-19th century. Like many Modena farming families, ours initially produced balsamic vinegar at home for our own consumption. Passing down this tradition later turned into a passion and finally our main business. We know we hold a precious treasure tied to the food and wine culture of our region, and that's why we strive every day to produce high-quality vinegar and promote it beyond the region's borders. We believe that visiting an ancient vinegar factory and seeing firsthand how this unique product is made is a privilege. That's why we offer guided tours of our vinegar factory and hands-on experiences of Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena DOP, of which we are certified producers.

Very insightful and interesting balsamic vinegar tour. Loved the fact that the family business is located in the city. Easy to access, close walk to the plaza. The tour guide was very friendly and accessible. The English tour was great.

An educational and tasty experience! The location of the tasting room right in Bologna city was ideal, since most of the balsamic vinegar production facilities are a car ride out of town (and we were travelling car-free). Our host explained the process of making, aging, blending and quality testing balsamic vinegar. We then got to taste and compare a range of this small company's products. Host was very knowledgeable.
Thank you for sharing your experience! It sounds like you had a wonderful and educational visit, especially with such a knowledgeable host. Tasting and learning about the process of making authentic balsamic vinegar right in Bologna must have been a memorable and delicious experience. I'm glad you enjoyed it!
This is a display of representative barrels and tasting with explanations and chance to purchase. The person explaining provided interesting information. After walking through the city to get there, it would have been nice to be able to sit for a while since it was all standing on two spots.
Thank you for your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the display and tasting experience, and we appreciate your kind words about the information provided. We understand that standing for two spots can be tiring, especially after walking around the city. We'll take your suggestion into consideration and look into ways to offer a more comfortable, seated experience in the future. We hope to welcome you back for an even better visit!
A lovely tour in a small group. The guide was very interesting and we learnt a lot about the process of balsamic vinegar production with an opportunity to buy some at the end of the tour.

Teresa was an excellent guide! Very informative! Well worth the trip from Parma! It was so fun to learn about how one of our favorite Italian tastes is made! And she was right on with a recommendation of La Brusca Cafe (Osteria) for lunch! We had so much fun and are excited to bring some back home with us!
Thank you for your enthusiastic review! We’re so happy you had such a fun and informative experience discovering traditional balsamic vinegar with Teresa—she’ll be thrilled to hear your kind words. It’s great that you enjoyed both the tasting and her local recommendation too! We truly appreciate you making the trip from Parma and hope to welcome you again in Modena.
