EXCEEDS expectations...all my momma could say was WOW!!! - The family Cavedoni is seven generations into their "passion" as they call it -- making phenomenal balsamic vinegar that exceeds anything you've ever tasted or bought in a grocery store. We enjoyed new bottles (aged 5 years) and very rare bottles over 160 years. Each one unique and bursting with flavor. Marcello (6th Gen) hosted us and served a full spread to try the balsamico on meat, cheese, strawberries, cake, and greens --- all local to the region. This experience is off the beaten path but worth adding to your itinerary!! It was bellisimo!!

Experience balsamic vinegar making history - This was a wonderful exposure to the family history of the Cavedoni family and their expertise in balsamic vinegar. We thank our host for the experience. A 2-hour must see if you are in the area. And they export their products!

Dreamy and unforgettable - Truly the most incredible experience. We felt like we were welcomed into the Cavedoni family as a close family friend. The entirely of the tour was done with intention, passion, and love. Our group all felt the same way leaving Acetaia Cavedoni. There is no place in the world like it. We look forward to our swift return.

Best balsamic tour! Educational and delicious! - We had the best tour with Marcello, we learned so much about Balsamic (most importantly how to spot the imposters), how it's made, the history of their family and an excellent tasting experience. Highly recommend!!

Old World Charm - This is a must and exactly what I was looking for! I so appreciated the small group experience, the tour operator went out of his way to accommodate travel since I was in Bologna and the train only goes to Vignola, he arranged taxi service when I could not. Very special to share a family owned business with it's traditions and celebration of Familia!
The setting, Balsamic Vinegar education, food and overall experience was beyond my expectations!

A great, highly... - A great, highly recommended, experience. A true family-operated Acetaia with an inspiring approach on making (and aging) balsamic di Modena.
Also, value-wise, one of the best tasting experiences. You will get a chance to taste various ages, expensive ones as well, and later to accompany them with food and evaluate different pairings.

Great tasting and tour - Excellent tour delivered by Marcelo, sharing his family’s history making balsamic vinegar. But the tasting - oh, my… what delicious vinegar, and great pairings of meat, cheeses, and desserts. The wine was also very good. Well worth the price.

Passion, Love, and true Artisans! - The father and son that guided us had so much passion and love for what they do! They are true artisans and could not have been nicer about sharing their story and exceptional products with us. We were treated like royalty and had to pinch ourselves at times as we appreciated every minute there.
Exceptional!
