What to expect
After an introduction to the property, you'll stroll through the vines where grapes destined for vinegar are grown. Back indoors, an expert walks you through the production process—fermentation, reduction, barrel ageing—before moving to the tasting room. There you'll sample several expressions of balsamic, progressing from younger, sharper versions to older, syrupy ones. Each pour comes with food to balance the acidity. Expect about 90 minutes of tasting and chat; the rest is walking and orientation.
Good to know
Comfortable shoes recommended for vineyard sections. Groups welcome; book ahead for larger parties. Buggies fine for small children. The tasting room has seating throughout. Allow extra time if you want to browse their shop.
