Discover Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena

Our family opens its doors to guests wishing to discover the traditional balsamic vinegar of Modena. The garden, the vineyard, the villa and the vinegar provide ideal conditions to discover a local tradition through a cultural path very different from a conventional sightseeing tour. Antica Acetaia Villa Bianca is a family run business with a documented history; The production process is totally internal; the company produces exclusively Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena DOP (Protected Designation of Origin). The Acetaia Villa Bianca is part of the Consortium Manufacturers Antique Acetaie. Do not expect a traditional tour, industrial products or balsamic condiments.

A tailor made visit

The vinegar in Modena is a family matter, tht’s why one of us will tell you about our tradition: Claudio in Italian or Emilio who speaks five languages, or Irene and Aurora who speak both to adults and kids. The visit includes a tour defined starting with a walk in the vineyard and continues in vinegar to discover the tradition and to taste the product in different stages of ripeness. Each visit is different, however, as there are various visitors.

photography enthusiasts can stop and take pictures in the middle of the vineyard
lovers of good food can discover recipes Irene, owner and chef of the house
to those who like history can admire the vinegar furnished with family pieces from the XVIII century, which, in addition to barrels, preserves a collection of objects from the farming tradition from those everyday, to those rare
children and young people aged 3 to 14 can participate in creative meetings in vinegar and in the garden and discover the vinegar through tastings, games, books and small artifacts
the fans of the TV series can watch the screening of “Breaking Balsamic” a parody of Breaking Bad turned to the White House and designed by blogger Turner Barr
lovers of food design may try to stamp your food with a mold designed for Acetaia Villa Bianca by designer Marti Guixè
those who appreciate illustration can see the original drawings of Steven Guarnaccia in the booklet “5 senses in acetaia”
all guests at the end of the visit can make a mark in the book of dedications; a book containing thoughts, aphorisms and small drawings. It is a precious object which, through visitors from around the world, preserve memories and emotions (you can find again some on the home page!)
