Taste Modena from the inside, starting with breakfast the Modenese way: crispy gnocco fritto dipped in a creamy cappuccino.

At Mercato Albinelli, the city's historic market, you'll meet the vendors and taste Parmigiano Reggiano of different ages and producers.

Then the highlight: a private family acetaia, usually closed to the public. Walk among the barrels where Aceto Balsamico Tradizionale ages for 12 and 25 years, and taste 5+ vinegars of different ages to understand why it takes decades to make.

Next, the food Modena shares with friends: warm tigelle with a glass of Lambrusco.

We finish with traditional sweets like Torta Barozzi, bensone and artisanal gelato. That's 10+ tastings, enough for a full lunch.

With a maximum of 8 guests and tours in English only, you get real time with the families behind the food.
