Modena: Guided Tour + Balsamic Vinegar Tasting

Visit Acetaia Marchi, located just outside Modena. This family business has been producing balsamic vinegar since 1910. The estate uses only native grape varieties, like Trebbiano Modenese and various Lambrusco types.

Take a guided tour to see the aging rooms, where Balsamic Vinegar of Modena IGP ages in wooden barrels. Learn to distinguish artisanal products from industrial ones while viewing rows of barrels where vinegar ages for 12 to 25 years. Visit the onsite shop offering local specialties.

There are two tasting options (depending on selection):

* Classic Tasting: Includes four types of Modena PGI Balsamic Vinegar (one aged and one reserve), two types of traditional Modena PDO Balsamic Vinegar aged 12 and 25 years, and two toppings with different aging periods. * Prestige Tasting: Includes everything offered in the classic tasting, along with Parmigiano Reggiano, sweet and sour jams made with Balsamic Vinegar, Balsamic Pearls, and a liqueur or glass of wine.
