“My husband and I love to travel, especially to lesser know areas - off the beaten track. We could not have found a better guide to introduce us the Balsamic Vinegar and Parmigiana Reggiano production than Alessandro. He toured us through the back roads of his home town, Reggio-Emilia, shared stories of the region and was incredibly knowledgeable (and passionate) about the local products and their production processes that date back centuries.

Review of Modena’s Parmigiano Reggiano and traditional balsamic tour, with tastings, local lunch, transport details, value, and booking tips.

“I’m not sure why I didn’t write this review as soon as we returned from our trip, but it was one of the things we talked about most after our 3 week trip to Italy. We were in Florence, Rome and Lake Como, but our stop here was probably everyone’s favorite. Our guide picked us up at the train station and took us to his family farm. Watching this process from start to finish was incredible. Grating fresh “parm” on our salad or pasta is something we take for granted in the US. Watching the whole process from start to finish of what is involved in the making of this…”

“We were so looking forward to this tour and were not disappointed - it was one of our favorite days of our trip. Alice is wonderful – communicative, kind, knowledgeable, and helpful. She guided us through a parmigiano reggiano facility (with samples - amazing!) and brought us to a family-owned producer of balsamic vinegar where our cooking class also took place. Everything was authentic and delicious - we made two different pastas which were cooked while we got a tour of the estate and saw how the balsamic vinegar is produced. After this, we were led to our dining table where we enjoyed a vinegar tasting, wine, the pasta we…”
