About this activity

An unforgettable journey into the authentic heart of Modena’s culinary heritage — a must-do experience for food lovers visiting the region. Led by the passionate team of Acetaia Malagoli Daniele, this tour introduces you to two iconic Made in Italy treasures: Parmigiano Reggiano cheese and Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena, discovered directly where they are produced.

Begin at an organic dairy farm, where you’ll meet the cows, visit the milking area, and watch skilled cheesemakers craft authentic Parmigiano Reggiano using traditional methods. Then continue to a traditional Acetaia, stepping into an attic lined with wooden barrels, where cooked grape must slowly ages into precious Traditional Balsamic Vinegar. This family-run, behind-the-scenes experience offers rare insight into the craftsmanship and passion that define Modena’s food traditions. The experience takes place at two countryside locations. Transportation is required to reach the first site and to move between locations
