From curdling to salting and final aging in wheel cathedrals, you'll be a privileged observer of this iconic culinary masterpiece. Next, a local winery, where you'll take a guided tour to uncover the nuances of Lambrusco, a red sparkling wine hailing from northern Italy. Next, explore the secrets of "black gold" at an Acetaia, where the traditional balsamic vinegar of Modena is crafted. Your guided tour unveils the intricate production process, culminating in a tasting of this precious elixir.

Where this sits in Bologna

Bologna is about 8 min by road from Bologna Marconi Airport. The food capital, and it does not have to try. Porticoes for miles, a real university city rather than a museum piece, and Modena and Parma close enough for a day out.
