“Spectacular”

I wish I had bought a bottle of oak aged to take home.

Best balsamic in Modena
This is a must ! Marcello was an outstanding host and very passionate about his product. This boutique shop has the best I’ve ever tasted. I won’t go back to any other. The tour was very informative and tasty too. Our group was small and intimate. Can’t wait to go back.

Fascinating family owned business
We learned so much that we never knew about balsamic vinegar. This was one of our favorite things we did in the entire region. The tour is free and you get to see the attic of a small family owned balsamic vinegar place. This was such a special find. There is no pressure to by anything, but we loved it so much that we just had to buy a bottle to take home. It’s a wonderful excursion.

Balsamic Vinegar tasting in Modena
2nd time visiting. Marcello does a fantastic job explaining the history of balsamic vinegar and offers tastings of all of their products. Very informative no pressure to buy. Had a fantastic time. They also offer to ship what you buy if you do not have room in your luggage. Highly recommend.

Essential Modena Experience
Giovannia did the tour for us, even though she worried about her English, she gave an amazing tour that involved her personal family history and the intricacies of the Balsamic process. One of the other hightlights was interacting with the family dog Brando in the garden. This tour was the highlight of my trip, its unbelievable that its free.

True authentic balsamic! What a lovely family, so kind and generous! We were a walk in on the day and they were so accommodating, making time to give us a tour and sample their incredible balsamic vinegar! If you’re stopping by Modena. This is a must do!

Try mail order. Great service.

May 2020 • Solo

Quite a few years ago, I visited this wonderful place and purchased a couple of bottles of their balsamic. Used sparingly they lasted a while but eventually ran out. A trip to Italy was planned for this year with a side trip to Modena and quick visit to Acetaia di Giorgio for old times sake. Of course this was not possible so I thought I’ll have some sent. What wonderful service my two bottles arrived today after only seven days. I have a little reminder of Italy to keep me going until we can once again visit. I have said that I visited May 2020 and was solo, both are required fields to complete but are obviously incorrect.

Spectacular

Apr 2023 • Family

Spectacular and tasty from start to finish. Thank you to the family for accommodating tours (for free). To smell and see and taste the balsamic production was pure heaven. And so informative as well. I wish I had bought a bottle of oak aged to take home. If it’s good enough for the White House..

Great tour and tasting

Sept 2021

It was a great tour and amazing to hear the story of making this high quality of balsamic vinegar. They really love their product and are very passionated. Even though it is precious, after the tasting you take a bottle home haha.

Outstanding tasting and tour.

Sept 2021

Thanks so much to tour hostess. We arrived 1 hour late for our tour, due to my mix up in times. Giovanna was so gracious and held an extra tour just for us. the tour was very informative and gives a backgroud to the time intensive process of creating such a fine product. The tasting was incredible. almost impossible not to buy some vinegar before leaving. Do yourself a favour don't buy some inferior I.G.P. product for cheap in the market. Visit this place and get some of the D.O.P. you will thank yourself.
