    A far more interesting tour than you might expect! We really enjoyed ourselves and wish we did the longer “Lunch and Tasting” version that Giorgio’s family offers. The balsamic aging process is quite interesting and we found ourselves using the knowledge gained throughout the rest of our trip in Italy. We were promptly picked up at the train station and taken to the estate where we received a crash course in traditional balsamic vinegar, saw the battery of barrels, and enjoyed tastings paired with food. We ended up purchasing one extra vecchio bottle on site and regret not buying more!

    A very good balance of information and tasting in a beautiful, historic setting. While sitting in the lovely room of the mansion, our guide described the balsamic process. Moving to the barrel room, we could visually see how balsamic is aged. Finally, sitting for the tasting with the guide's guidance was an exciting culmination. The 2 ages of balsamic paired uniquely with each of the food items - and you're free to try in all combinations at your own private table. In fact, the options were in such abundance we skipped a meal that day. As an extra benefit, we used the shuttle they provided from the train station and it was seamless. Thank you!

    A surprise hit on our two week trip to Italy. Marco was a very friendly host, who explained the family’s history in making balsamic vinegar and the process by which it is made, and guided us through a tasting with various homemade foods (recipes included). A great afternoon stop for anyone passing through Modena.
