Modena: Balsamic Vinegar Tasting Tour & Pavarotti House (English)

Discover two icons of Modena in one unforgettable experience.

A guided visit to Acetaia Marchi, a historic family-run producer where Balsamic Vinegar has been crafted since 1910, will make you walk through vineyards of native grape varieties. Learn the traditional process of cooking grape must and aging vinegar in wooden barrels for up to 25 years, explore the aging rooms, uncover the differences between artisanal and industrial balsamic vinegar and enjoy a guided tasting with expert explanations and food pairings. End your visit with time to shop for authentic Modenese products at special prices.

Continue your journey with entry to the Luciano Pavarotti House Museum, the countryside home where the Maestro spent his final years. Preserved exactly as he left it, the house offers an intimate look into Pavarotti’s life, showcasing personal belongings and the spaces where he welcomed family, friends and students. Opened to the public in 2015, the museum celebrates both the legendary artist and the man behind it, deeply connected to his homeland.
