5.00Passionate father and son team provided one of the best tours we've ever had. They spent time explaining the entire process of balsamic vinegar production, how to distinguish authentic DOP products, and shared their family tradition of a "batteria" of vinegar for each new family member. Their tasting presentation exceeded expectations-- delicious bread, mortadella, prosciutto, Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese all paired with their different balsamic products. This was memorable and very, very special.
Fantastic experience

5.00This was the highlight of my Italy trip! So glad I picked this tour. Elisa was super friendly, informative and passionate about balsamic vinegar. Didn’t expect to meet two generations of the owners but they came to greet us too, really made us feel like vinegar making is so much more than just a family business for them. They truly love balsamic vinegars and want to share everything they know about vinegar making and tasting with their visitors. This was part of my birthday gift for my partner and we both had a wonderful time.
Great visit into a...

5.00Was a great tour, in a beautiful setting, and our tour guide was wonderful.. Learned a lot about balsamics and how they are made. And we were given a generous amount of food to sample the product with.
Amazing Tour and Tasting!

5.00It was quite simply outstanding! Not to be missed. We met some of the family, heard history, learned how balsamic is made and wondered about the future of these small family farms. Really a step back in time. And if you’re lucky (We happened to be the only 3 people that AM) you might get to taste the over 125 year old balsamic! We bought an 80 year old bottle! This is truly a family operation and the guide was so knowledgeable. Enjoy!
Book it!!!

5.00Elisa was very knowledgable about the balsamic and the family history of the owners. Paolo, Marcello and Elisa were very friendly and their products were excellent. The lunch provided was all local products and tasted amazing. It was very interesting pairing the different balsamic to the food, especially the dessert. Their wine was very nice but it didn’t overtake or spoil the taste of the balsamic.
