Private Balsamic Vinegar Tour and Tasting in Emilia-Romagna
Enjoy a private and authentic balsamic vinegar tour with your host Silvia in her 18th century family villa. This is a perfect experience for anyone looking to connect with local culture over food. Cristina and Silvia inherited not only their father's acetaia but also his passion for balsamic vinegar making and food. They work alongside their colleague Rita who helps keep their passion alive by passing on their knowledge and traditions around vinegar making to travelers from around the world. Depending on the day, either Cristina or Rita will welcome you into the family home and treat you like family. Learn about the age-old tradition of vinegar making from your hosts who are passionate about keeping the family tradition alive.
