The guide and the owners... - The guide and the owners were very welcoming, and explained so much about the process that I feel like an expert on balsamic vinegar now! I highly recommend this tour if you are a cook, or just like to eat good food.

Fabuloso giro!!! Balsamico perfetto!!! - Passionate 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 - This 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.

Personnal touch - Very personal introduction to balsamic vinegar process. Owner family involved in tour and gave us great history. Can’t wait to return next year when on-site B&B is completed. Also strongly recommend stopping for lunch at il Cappero alle Mura in Castelvetro.

Amazing Tour and Tasting! - It 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!
