Vinegar cellar and winery tour with tastings and brunch from Bologna

-What you can expect-
Let the true gastronomic soul of Emilia captivate you on this food and wine experience among the hills between Bologna and Modena. This private tour begins with a convenient pick-up directly from your accommodation in Bologna. Your driver will take you to an exclusive location surrounded by nature, where a rich and relaxing brunch awaits: local cured meats and cheeses, homemade pastries, artisanal yoghurt, wine, and coffee. Weather permitting, the meal will be served on the outdoor terrace with a spectacular view of the Emilian vineyards.

The journey continues to a historic, family-run acetaia where authentic Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena DOP is produced using ancient techniques passed down through generations. Guided by an expert, you’ll walk among the wooden barrels where the vinegar ages slowly over many years. You'll learn about the fermentation, transfer, and ageing processes, and taste different vintages of this prized product, known worldwide for its complex aroma.

Finally, you'll visit a beautiful estate that houses a top local winery. Here, you’ll enjoy a guided tasting of three wines from Emilia-Romagna, paired with a selection of artisanal cured meats, cheeses, and bread. An authentic gourmet experience, perfect for lovers of great food, fine wine, and Italian traditions. At the end of the tour, your private driver will take you comfortably back to your hotel in Bologna.
