An intimate journey into the heart of Modena

Modena is a city of slow rhythms and traditions, best explored in a small, personal group. With a maximum of 8 guests, you’ll connect more deeply with the city, its food, and the people behind it.

What to expect:

Small-group experience: move easily through the market, ask questions, and enjoy a relaxed, friendly pace.

The 25-year secret: visit a private family acetaia and taste traditional balsamic vinegar aged 25 years, learning how to spot the real “Black Gold.”

Albinelli Market: meet local vendors selling Parmigiano Reggiano, prosciutto, and fresh pasta, and see the market through their eyes.

Modenese traditions: from gnocco fritto dipped in coffee to hidden medieval corners, discover the city’s food culture and legends.

Join us for a morning of authentic flavors and local stories—just bring your appetite and curiosity.
