Full description
They call it Black Gold of Modena and it is not difficult to understand why.
At the Agriturismo Acetaia la Vedetta, in Castelvetro di Modena, you will discover that balsamic vinegar is not a "simple condiment" but something that is part of the family, ages with those who produce it and is cared for with love and passion.
During this guided tour, you will discover all the stages in the production of balsamic vinegar and conclude the experience with a spoon-tasting of the entire line of house condiments, accompanied by a tasty platter of local products.
What we will do
The appointment is 10 minutes before the selected time at the Agriturismo Acetaia la Vedetta in Castelvetro di Modena (MO), the territory of excellence of balsamic vinegar.
Once there, we will be welcomed by the guide and our journey through all the stages of production of Balsamic Vinegar of Modena PGI will begin. We will start from the area of pressing and cooking of the PDO must, a step rarely shown to the public and which represents the heart of the family's closed-cycle production chain.
We will then continue through the various rooms dedicated to the acetification and ageing phases. During the visit, the guide will tell us the history of the family, which is strongly linked to the Modena area in all respects.
At the end of the visit, we will move on to the tasting area, which includes a spoon tasting of the entire line of balsamic vin egar and condiments from the vinegar cellar, including the prized 40-year-old balsamic vinegar.
The tasting will then be accompanied by an accompanying platter of parmesan cheese, bruschetta with caramelised onions and sweet and sour peppers and a glass of house wine .
The experience will last a total of about 1½ hours.
