Balsamic vinegar is a beloved worldwide staple and an icon of Italian gastronomy. It is bold, complex and boasts a rich regional identity. Where better to indulge in the full, oozing flavours of Aceto Balsamico than at the heart of its ancestral homeland of Modena?

Sereni a Tavola is a classic balsamic tour, tasting and lunch experience, hosted on a small family-run farm called Acetaia Sereni. Situated in the beautiful Villabianca hills between Bologna and Modena, prepare to be fully immersed in the production phases of traditional Balsamic Vinegar from vineyard to bottle, before sitting down for an intimate and informative tasting and gourmet lunch. 

Just 30km from Bologna, a visit to Acetaia Sereni is a delicious, family-friendly day out from our villas in Tuscany and our luxury holiday rentals near Venice & Verona. 

The Balsamic Classics of Modena tour, tasting & gourmet lunch 

The Sereni a Tavola experience will lead you on an immersive journey through the history of Acetaia Sereni, from the conception of their traditional balsamic vinegar production to the present day. Experience all the different phases in the production of Aceto Balsamico, from a close-up look at the estate’s vines to the final bottle. You will even tour the cooking room for the grape must, two ageing rooms and the Balsamic Museum. 

The tour will end in the Terazza Sereni, a panoramic glass terrace, with sweeping views across the surrounding countryside. Here you will taste five different types of Balsamic Vinegar of Modena, which range from 8 (the youngest) to 50 years old. The experience will then conclude with a gourmet lunch.
