Absolutely! - A tour in this Acetaia should not be missed. Beautifully located estate with a large garden for relaxation. During the approximately 90-minute tour of the facility, one learns everything important about the history, tradition, and production of Aceto and the various Aceti from Modena, which can then be tasted and purchased at the end. Very nice reception and super friendly staff. Absolutely recommended!

Warm Welcome & Authentic Balsamic Experience at Acetaia Malagoli - Visited Acetaia Malagoli near Modena and had a fantastic experience. We were warmly welcomed by Domenica and another lovely guide, who walked us through the barrels, explained the production process, and made the whole tour engaging and easy to follow.
The tasting was a highlight—getting to try different ages of traditional balsamic vinegar really showed the depth and craftsmanship behind it. You can feel the passion and tradition in every step.
A genuine, authentic experience I’d absolutely recommend if you’re in the area.

A highlight of our Emilia-Romagna visit! - We attended the balsamic tour and tasting, and stayed the night. The tour was a lot of fun. Our room was excellent - spacious, well-appointed and sparkling clean. Breakfast was excellent as well. And excellent value all around.
Thank you Sophia and staff! The 4 of us had a wonderful experience.

Good learning experience on how Balsamic Vinegar is made - The tour provides an excellent overview of how balsamic vinegar is produced, and I learned several things I hadn’t known before — including the surprising fact that heat plays a more important role than cold temperatures in the aging process. Seeing the rows of aging barrels was genuinely fascinating and added authenticity to the experience.
However, the conclusion of the tour shifts noticeably toward product sales, and the pricing did not feel meaningfully lower than what one might find at other retail outlets. I would have expected a clear cost advantage when purchasing directly from the producer, but that wasn’t the case.
Another point worth noting is that Viator does not clearly explain the logistics of getting to the venue. It is a long countryside drive, and in our situation — staying in Reggio Emilia — it took about 45 minutes. Even from Modena, the trip would be roughly 20 minutes. Fortunately, we had access to a car, so the journey was manageable. Had we needed to rely on a taxi or rideshare, it would have been quite expensive.
On a positive note, the family running the operation is warm and welcoming, and the complimentary coffee and pastries were a thoughtful touch that added to the hospitality
