What to expect
Expect a steady pace around Modena's streets, stopping at small producers and specialist shops rather than tourist restaurants. Your guide will walk you through how balsamic is made and aged, then you'll taste the difference between grades. You'll sample hard cheeses and regional charcuterie—the real deal, not mass-produced versions. Between tastings there's time to ask questions and hear stories about the families behind these products. Bring an appetite and comfortable shoes; the walking is easy but continuous.
Good to know
Prams and strollers welcome. Under-18s get non-alcoholic drinks instead of wine. Service animals allowed. Public transport runs nearby if needed. Suitable for all fitness levels, though you're on your feet for two hours.
