Parmesan Cheese and Balsamic Vinegar Tour with Ferrari Museum
Overview
You will start your day by visiting a dairy farm to learn something new about the production processes of Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, from cows to wheels. The visit will be held directly by the producer's staff, so none of your questions will remain unanswered. The tour is followed by a guided tasting. Our second stop is a small farm where the family produces Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena for generations. They will show the production process and explain all the peculiarities of the Balsamic Vinegar, and why it is so highly appreciated even in haute cuisine. Taste different ages of locally produced balsamic vinegar at the end. Being in the area, your experience wouldn't be complete without visiting Ferrari Museum in Maranello, so to see the most famous supercar brand of all time, Ferrari, and to learn something new about its history during your free visit to the museum.
