This experience is built around something most visitors to Modena never get to see.
You’ll step inside a traditional family-run acetaia in Modena, closed to the public, and taste authentic balsamic vinegar aged over 25 years, learning how this “Black Gold” is truly made.
From there, you’ll explore Modena through its food traditions, meeting local vendors and discovering the stories behind Parmigiano Reggiano and tigelle.
You’ll walk through the historic Albinelli Market with a local perspective, seeing beyond the stalls and understanding how everyday Modenese food culture works.
Along the way, you’ll uncover small traditions and surprising local habits, such as gnocco fritto enjoyed with cappuccino, that most visitors never notice.
With a maximum of 8 guests, you’ll enjoy a more personal experience, with time to ask questions and connect directly with the people behind the food.
This is Modena from the inside, not just what you taste, but where it comes from and why it matters.
