Stop At: Traveling Spoon, 2018, Modena Italy

This is a unique opportunity to visit the home of a local and explore traditional culture and cuisine. Your tour will be in French or German. Meet your host Mariangela, a fun and energetic host (and mother of four) at her family home and vinegar acetaia for a Modena balsamic vinegar tour, followed by a tasting and food pairing. The vinegary is in Vignola and Vignola is 20 km from Modena and 20 km from Bologna. As you walk into her beautiful courtyard you are transported in time. Visiting this old traditional vinegary is a unique experience: you enter a world full of history, visit lofts where the concept of time is lost in the long aging process, and breathe in the delicate perfume of traditional vinegar. Mariangela will welcome you in the courtyard before starting your tour in the tasting room where you will hear about Mariangela's family story of producing balsamic vinegar. Learn about how traditional balsamic vinegar, saba (a grape juice condiment to make dishes more aromatic which has been produced since ancient Roman times), and balsam saba (family recipe for a cooking condiment) are made. Then walk up a spiral staircase to the historic loft (where the magic happens!) and get an insider’s glimpse into how vinegar is aged in a variety of differently sized wooden barrels. Return to the tasting room or a farmer’s table, weather permitting, for a vinegar and saba spoon tasting as well as a food pairing with signature ingredients of the region - Parmigiana Reggiano cheese, Parma ham and bread, and seasonal fruit. Your tour and tasting will last about two hours. Mariangela will gift you a bottle of the family’s saba (travel sized) and memories that will last a lifetime. On days that Mariangela is away, her mother Giovanna, also an expert at vinegar will be your host.
