Angel was our guide and he was excellent. As the title says it was fun, informative and interesting. Learned a lot especially from the farm where they make the incredible balsamic. The meal was delicious and the experience overall was fantastic. We’d highly recommend this tour for those interested in these Italian specialities.

Would not recommend this tour group.

The tour and information provided by the balsamic factory was fantastic. Our guide was late to collect us. She was not able to answer any questions about the cheese factory and nothing of any depth fir the surrounding areas appropriate to the factories we were visiting.

Really Fun Day

My guide was Daria and we had such a lovely and fun day! My favorite stop by far was the balsamic vinegar factory! It was beautiful and they had a gluten free lunch for me! Best balsamic of my life!!! The day was soooo perfect, I would highly recommend!

Great memorable experience!

Foodie dream tour in Italy!!

Michele_S, May 2023

We did a private tour, just myself, husband, and tour guide. It was fantastic! We learned so much about Italy and the generations of families who manage farms and vineyards to produce the most amazing balsamic vinegar, parmesan cheese and prosciutto. We started this day-long tour from Florence. Be prepared for a lot of driving, and possible traffic! Besides that, I highly recommend this tour for any foodie!

Great day in the countryside!

Pauola gave a wonderful tour of the cheese plant then guided through other tastings and plant tours throughout the day. She made the day special by allowing us to go at our own pace while giving us a great amount of information and friendly tidbits about the area. It was a wonderful day in the country seeing how locals live and work along with the fabulous products they make!

Bucket list day!!

Holly_S, Oct 2022

This tour was not only one of the highlights of my Italy trip, but it was also an experience and lunch I will never forget. belén was an expert guide and was warm and welcoming. We opted for the Lambrusco visit over the prosciutto as we are veg, and it was so fun! The cheese factory was fascinating and the tastings were delicious and plentiful. The absolute highlight was the balsamic tour, tasting, and lunch. That was truly an experience I will not forget and one of the best meals of my life- you have never tasted balsamic like this before! If you are on the fence, I can assure you it is well worth the money. I cannot wait to return to Modena! Truly a bucket list day.

The best tour ever!!

Michael_F, Oct 2022

This was by far the best tour my wife and I have ever been on. We loved the schedule of the tour and our guide, "Bella", was awesome. Bella was kind, knowledgeable and explained things to us prior, during and after each tour (stop). This was a great private tour and we will definitely use this tour company (Enotropea Tours) again!!!

Well worth the money.

Sara_F, Jan 2022

I don’t know if there are words enough to describe how amazing this tour was. Our guide Angel lived up to his name and provided probably the best tour that we have ever been on. We were able to taste a bit of everything including the best ricotta I have ever had. I only wish that I was able to take some home. The employees/owners of each of the locations where so kind and welcoming. The lunch provided at the acetaia was delicious with a perfect view. Spend the money for this tour, you won’t regret it.

Response from Host, Feb 2022

Thank you for your beautiful words! We are very happy to have delivered you this experience and hope to have you back!

Umamamia!

Bevacquas, Oct 2019

Our family loves to cook, so this day in Modena and Emilia–Romagna countryside was a mecca of sorts. Our guide, Fabian, was well informed and never rushed the day. Lunch at the secret restaurant was fabulous. It was fascinating to see the pride and passion that goes into making these treasures from Italy. The acetaia was beautiful and the drive through the countryside calming.

Response from Host, Oct 2019

Thank you so much for the lovely review! We are glad we were able to offer you an experience that lived up to your expectations! Fabian was thrilled to read these kind words! Best regards, EnotropeaTeam
