This visit inside the Acetaia La Vedetta will allow you to discover all the secrets of a centenary product also called the black gold of Modena. Claudio and Nonno franco will go through all the stages of production, including the explanation of the place where the acetification of the cooked must takes place, the only ingredient to be used according to the consortium for the real DOP balsamic vinegar. The visit will end with a spoon tasting of all our vinegars and for those who wish there will be a small aperitif with a glass of our wine
This was a fantastic experience in a little part of paradise! Claudio was generous with his hospitality and explanation of making and the tasting. Be sure to book a lunch to follow your tour as the food at La Vendetta is superb! The oils are great and taking a few back to New Zealand with me!
This was a great way to learn about balsamic vinegar production and to taste some amazing balsamic. We loved the facility and appreciated Claudio’s presentation.
Wonderful personal tour from Gianfranco Venturelli himself!! Would absolutely recommend and we go there again on our next visit to the region. Make reservations to eat at their restaurant and maybe even a stay at the onsite B n B .
Very pleasant and interesting Tour. Surrounding is beaytiful. Guide very nice. We had a good time though the weather was rainy.
Excellent hospitality given by our host and very informative. The family runs a small hotel, restaurant and vineyard for Balsamico. The product is delicious and even have a private label Rose Lambrusco.
This tour was great. So informative. A lot of fun. Very intimate and personal. Great value as well. Claudio was so knowledgeable and left as much time and space as you needed/wanted to ask questions. You saw the process from start to finish. The balsamic was so good too. The tasting did not disappoint. A lot of fun to do solo or with a group. I did it with my girlfriend and one other couple. We were there for almost 3 hours
We very much enjoyed this very interesting and informative tour and tasting. Lunch afterwards was delicious. Both Claudio and his wife were very gracious and attentive hosts.
The family who hosted us were gracious and very informative. Loved the environment and the vibes they provided, not to mention the high quality vinegar.
Very hospitable family that does everything from wine vinegar tastings to cooking classes. It was great to learn about both family history and the production processes for their wine vinegars.
Host/owner was lovely and had a lot of experience and passion about making good balsamic vinegar. Detailed explanation and showed us each part of their process and ended with tasting of the delicious products.
La Vendetta Don’t let the lack of reviews deter you from this tour. has a vast knowledge of the traditional ways of Modena Balsamic Vinegar. We were luck enough to to get a tour during the time that the vinegar was being processed from the grapes and we were able to smell the amazing aroma of the process. There’s many different options for taste and its was very hard to choose our favorite. Because of the amount of information that was given to us on the process and what makes good vs great vs the best we now consider ourselves vinegar snobs. This is a family owned and run business, we met the father, son and granddaughter. It is a beautiful place and was a wonderful experience. I wish we would have had more time to take advantage of everything this place had to offer.
A great experience with the owner who explained the history and technique. An exquisite person full of passion for what he does. I highly recommend this place.
Description of the production of balsamic vinegar detailed and excellent tasting of many types of balsamic vinegar. Claudio and his wife are very friendly and helpful people
Stay with dinner and tasting of balsamic vinegar. Lovely place located in the hills a few steps from Castelvetro Modenese. Elegant and well-kept rooms, spacious and well furnished. Excellent dinner with quality products. But the tasting of their traditional balsamic vinegar and seasonings, are really excellent. The owner accompanied us in the vinegar factory showing great professionalism and love for his work, quality product at honest prices, worth a visit, bravo.
We had a private tour of the manufactory. That's very interesting. From mid-September to mid-October is harvest and you can experience many steps of balsamic production live. Tasting was extensive. Very pleasant guided tour by a family member of the owners
Visit this institution in the Modena region, enriching and very complete, in French, and unforgettable tasting at the end with nearly 10 different types of balsamic vinegar, from PDO to IGP stars and flavored ones... 😀 a real surprise!
We were really satisfied with the visit, the tasting and the historical description of the structure
Very kind and passionate!! Very interesting and instructive visit, excellent vinegar tasting
My boyfriend and I attended the visit without knowing anything about the complex process of vinegar production. Claudio has transported us into his world transmitting us all the love and passion he puts into his business. With simplicity he managed to describe the work he does to produce his vinegar, a quality product that speaks of the history of his company. If you want to taste a genuine product and make an intimate visit in peace I recommend La Vedetta. We'll be back.
