The Black Gold of Modena: Traditional Balsamic Vinegar house private tour & tasting
The Black Gold of Modena: Traditional Balsamic Vinegar house private tour & tasting
The Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena PDO is an aged vinegar produced through the acetic fermentation of only cooked grape juice (must) obtained from the grapes produced in the province of Modena. No other ingredients are allowed in the production of this very special dressing and there are only a little more than a hundred producers today, all located in the area around Modena.
Talking about Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena is talking about passion, patience and hard work, as it takes at least 12 years for nature to work its magic and the vinegar to turn balsamic.
On this journey you will see and taste first-hand the passion and love of a still very much artisanal product, very different from the industrial dressings that you are probably used to call Balsamic.
Itinerary
- Visit of a acetaia (Traditional Balsamic Vinegar producer) + balsamic vinegar tasting and happy hour break with local delicacies
- Return and drop off in Bologna
Notes
Starting from Bologna, we will visit production sites located in the countryside between Modena and Bologna. The tour will not take you visiting Modena

The 3 Knights of Flavour: Parmigiano Reggiano, Traditional Balsamic Vinegar & Prosciutto productions sites & tastings
Calling all the cheese and meat lovers around the world, this tour is for you!
We'll start with the king of cheeses from Emilia Romagna, PDO Parmigiano Reggiano, visiting a cheese factory and their huge aging room (a real "cheese bank") and tasting different types of Parmigiano Reggiano.
But we won't stop there as the area also boasts a huge number of high quality, pork meat products, some of them already produced as far back as 2000 years ago.
Throughout the centuries, techniques and tools have changed but the tradition stays.
The PDO Prosciuto di Modena is one of these delicacies, made only from the thigh of the heavy Large White breed of pig farmed and butchered in northern and central Italy only.
What's the difference between using "Italian" pigs vs foreign ones? You'll be able to see it with your own eyes when visiting the factory and tasting their many flavourful pork meat products.
Last but not the least, the third gem of the region: Traditional Balsamic Vinegar from Modena.
The setting changes completely for this visit as we will switch from factories to a villa in the countryside, surrounded by vineyards and fields, where the passion of our host will guide us through the discovery of the amazing world of authentic PDO Traditional Balsamic Vinegar from Modena
