Featured review

Marie_A

There are two reviews here. Five stars to Elena who went so far above and beyond to save us, and her comprehensive and obvious love of the unique product and its pure family, small producer history. A definite highlight of our trip! VIATOR IS MISLEADING HERE. IT IS NOT,NOT “something to do in Modena”. It is located in the gorgeous Tuscan countryside and is perfect if you are traveling by car only. Unless, like us, you have a $50.00 cab ride from Modena and get stranded and dropped off at the wrong address. You can take a nice regional train to Vignola, but you will still need a cab to CASTELVETRO DI MODENA, ACETAIA LA VECCHIA DISPENSA.

A Double Take

Marie_A, Apr 2025

Response from Host, Apr 2025

Dear Marie, thank you for your kind review. It was a great pleasure to have you here at "La Vecchia Dispensa".

Great experience!

Kym_S, Apr 2025

Small groups only, in a very unique setting (medieval tower), and wonderfully informative. I’m a foodie but turns out I didn’t know much about the history of balsamico. But best of the tour is definitely their balsamic vinegars!

Response from Host, Apr 2025

Thank you for your kind review! It was a pleasure to have you here and to share with you the history of our precious Balsamic Vinegar !

Great visit to dispensa acietta

AnnBlair_B, Jul 2024

We enjoyed our visit to this balsameria and the charming village of Castelvetro. It was very informative and we enjoyed the tasting of various aged vinegars.

Response from Host, Jul 2024

Balsamic wonders

Anthony_C, Apr 2024

The tasting was very interesting. The climb up into the tower was a little bit claustrophobic and very very steep. It was unfortunate we were not allowed to take photos in the tower but were still very impressed with the tour and 1 on 1 attention we received.

Response from Host, May 2024

It was a pleasure to do the tour for you! Thanks for your kind review.

Uma aula sobre aceto balsamico e uma viagem no tempo

Alessandra_G, Feb 2024

Fantástica experiência. Alexsandra foi muito atenciosa e explicou tudo sobre o aceto balsâmico e seu processo de produção. A torre é uma experiência a parte. Além dos Produtos de altíssima qualidade.
