Must Do for the Foodie!

Wendy_C, Aug 2025

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 wonderful cheese was definitely a highlight. After the tour of the cheese factory, we went on to do a cheese tasting, which was also wonderful. Another highlight was the trip to our guides uncle’s balsamic distillery located not too far away. This was also fascinating. Everything about these smaller towns was so charming and our guide was just delightful. Knowing that both businesses were family run was a bonus. After sampling the sweet balsamic that had been aged 25 years, none of us would leave without purchasing our own bottle. We all would happily recommend this tour!

Parmigiana and Balsamico experience

Alan_R, Jul 2025

We spent a lovely morning at a producer of parmigiana reggiano and a producer of dop balsamico outside Modena. A private driver picked us up at the train station and brought us to each location. He was prompt and professional but didn’t speak much English. The tours themselves were both excellent. We learned a lot about the making of both delicacies and got to taste plenty of each! The cheese is made early in the morning so if you show up after 11 am you won’t get to see that part. The estate where the balsamico is made also served us a light lunch that was delicious. We were dropped off in the center of Modena at our request so we could explore the city on our own. One snag was the operator did not give our name to the parmigiana farm but used her own name so we all were a bit confused but eventually figured it out. Highly recommend this tour!

Its a must!

Great tour ! totally worth it both the places we went to , parmeggiano reggiano cheese and balsamic vineagr,were authentic and very informative. We also ended up buying the most expensive DOP balsamic vinegar , you can get IGP and other cheaper varieties through out modena market and rest of the italy

Do not miss this tour!!

Sandy_A, Mar 2025

What an amazing experience. Both stops were so much fun. We learned all about making Parmigiano cheese and the family ties to making traditional Balsamic vinegar. Each guide was extremely informative and completely delightful. 5 star for sure!!

Best Tour of Basalmic Vinegar/ Winery

Kim_S, Nov 2024

The basalmic vinegar/winery was a fabulous, informative tour. It was a highlight of our day. I would highly recommend this tour.

Great tour all around

Jerry_H, Jul 2024

The tour guide was very knowledgeable of the making of parmesan. The farm was clean and cows were happy.!😁 Great cheese tasting at the end. Balsamic tour was also great . Tour guide was very nice. Sampling of 12 year and 24 year old balsamic was nice and the food parings were nice.

Mmm, mmm Parma!

Louis_H, Sep 2023

You’ll gain a working knowledge of Parmesan and balsamic origins, creations and enjoy two separate tastings while seeing the Regianno countryside between stops.

Parmesan Cheese Dairy and Balsamic Winery Tour was wonderful

Lelah_S, May 2022

The tour of the Parmesan dairy was very detailed and the guide took his time to explain all the steps in making cheese. He provided us with tastings of various ages of cheese. Our driver then took us to the Medici winery to learning about balsamic vinegar. We had a tour and wine tasting with snacks in the winery. The tour was on time and our driver reliable.
