Great, great experience. - A great experience. The shuttle service offered by the host was seamless, and on time - considering I did not rent a car. Our shared lunch was a fulfilling experience that included great regional and family dishes that were shared in a beautiful dining room. The previous reviews paved the way to me booking this experience, and I left with my hands full of plenty of vinegar to take home and share with family. Hard to have a bad time!

Balsamic, family and friends - Mario, the owner, was very gracious especially since we were late. He gave us an overview to “catch up” with group. The balsamic experience included the history of the family and their batterie of barrels. Then down to the luncheon where we tasted 2 different ages of balsamic and learned about and paired the balsamic with different ages of Parmesan and other cheeses. Luncheon consisted of several types of meats, cheeses and focaccia, limoncello and dessert. Staff was friendly and informative. Definitely worth a visit.

Balsamic Bonanza - We learned so much about the differences between balsamic vinegars. Then we got to taste the different aged vinegars along with a large tasteful lunch of Emilia-Romagna favorites.
