Modena: Food Tour with Family Acetaia Visit & 10+ Tastings｜Italy

Meet your guide in Piazza Grande, under the Ghirlandina Tower, for a 3.5-hour walk through Modena's food culture.

Start the morning the Modenese way: crispy gnocco fritto dipped in a creamy cappuccino. Then explore Mercato Albinelli, the city's historic market, where you'll meet the vendors and taste Parmigiano Reggiano of different ages and producers.

Next comes the highlight: a private family acetaia, usually closed to the public. Walk among the barrels where Aceto Balsamico Tradizionale ages for decades, taste 5+ vinegars of different ages, and learn how to recognize the real thing.

Sit down to warm tigelle with a glass of Lambrusco, then finish with traditional sweets like Torta Barozzi and bensone or gelato.

By the end you'll have had 10+ tastings, enough for a full lunch.
