Looking for an authentic food experience to explore the true Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena? You’ve found the perfect place!
Join us at Acetaia Malagoli Daniele, where the passion for this centuries-old craft comes alive. Led by the Malagoli family, this immersive experience offers a warm welcome and a professional, in-depth explanation of Modena’s iconic "black gold"—all while surrounded by ancient barrels that have been aging balsamic vinegar for generations.
The Malagoli family is excited to share their knowledge and passion with you, making this a truly educational experience. Learn about the rich traditions of Modena and discover the differences between the two types of balsamic vinegar: the IGP Balsamic Vinegar of Modena and the DOP Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena. Though they may sound similar and both are delicious, they are distinctly different products—let’s explore why!

5.00This was a last minute tour as we wanted to do something different in the area of Modena, Italy. This is well worth the trip and was one of our highlights of Italy. Sofia and her family were probably the nicest people we met in Italy. They allowed us to book a last minute tour since we had just got in from Naples and we were only there for the Ferrari half marathon the next day, we had not eaten and offered us some food which tasted great. She spoke amazing english. The tour was wonderful and informative but was not boring at all. If I had met them before and known about their BnB I would have stayed there instead. Over great tour and would definitely recommend.
Highly recommended

5.00This mini tour was such an eye opener for how balsamic is produced. It gives a new meaning and appreciation for how expensive good balsamic is! I basically had a private tour and Elena was very knowledgeable and friendly. I highly recommend this so you too can appreciate how quality balsamic is made.
Must do! My entire family including 2 teen boys loved this!!

5.00THIS PLACE IS AMAZING! I say this being a family that stayed there for 8 days, with the smell of balsamic coming from above us in the attic, but really this is a GREAT tour. Alessia was our guide and she is so informative and knows so much and is funny and helpful. The entire family is the greatest. I really can't give this place enough stars. The experience is amazing and I will never eat balsamic the same again. We bought a ton of bottles to bring home. what a great gift for friends who couldn't experience what we did first hand. Even the cheapest bottle, about $10 which Barbara says "oh that is for salad" meaning its not the super stuff, is 10000x better than any balsamic you buy at the store. I wish I had bought even more than I did. I have used it every day since I have been home.
