Absolutely!

A tour in this Acetaia should not be missed. Beautifully located estate with a large garden for relaxation. During the approximately 90-minute tour of the facility, one learns everything important about the history, tradition, and production of Aceto and the various Aceti from Modena, which can then be tasted and purchased at the end. Very nice reception and super friendly staff. Absolutely recommended!

Warm Welcome & Authentic Balsamic Experience at Acetaia Malagoli

Visited Acetaia Malagoli near Modena and had a fantastic experience. We were warmly welcomed by Domenica and another lovely guide, who walked us through the barrels, explained the production process, and made the whole tour engaging and easy to follow. The tasting was a highlight—getting to try different ages of traditional balsamic vinegar really showed the depth and craftsmanship behind it. You can feel the passion and tradition in every step. A genuine, authentic experience I’d absolutely recommend if you’re in the area.

Thank you as well for mentioning our team — making our guests feel welcome is very important to us. We hope to see you again during your next visit to Modena!
