We had a wonderful time with Giovanna touring their lovely estate and sampling the aceto. She is rightfully very proud of her family's tradition and products. We immediately recommended the trip to our friends in the area.

Very interesting tour. Family history as well as full explanation of the Balsamic process. Nice table of very tasty hors d'oeuvres using balsamic vinegar. Thoroughly enjoyed. Thank you, You can get there by bus from Modena. Bus schedules are convenient for the tour, but be careful to be on time for the bus back to Modena

Oor tour was a great experience, enhanced by Giovanna's obvious passion for traditional balsamic vinegar of Modena and love for her family. My husband, my sister and I all loved the experience, and recommend it highly.

We were so glad we chose to to visit this acetaia for a balsamic vinegar tour and tasting. First of all, don't be confused with simple balsamic vinegar, or even balsamic vinegar of Modena. Those two are not the best stuff on earth. "Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena" is the one and only, and is what this family has been making on this beautiful estate for generations. We were made to feel like guests in their home, and had an absolutely wonderful time.

We were so happy we chose this tour. First of all, don't confuse balsamic vinegar or balsamic vinegar of Modena with "Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena". The first two aren't the best stuff on earth which is what's been made here for generations. There's a BIG difference! Mariangela is extremely knowledgeable, and made us feel like guests in her family's beautiful residence and acetaia. We were sad to leave!

My husband and I drove to Modena to visit this manufacturer of Aceto balsamico and it was a very delightful experience. We've learn the process of producing and taste one of the best balsamic in the world. One of the owners gave us the tour and she was a smart and sweet lady.I highly recommend it!!
