Stanley visits the Gran Deposito Aceto Balsamico di Giuseppe Giusti, the oldest balsamic vinegar producer in Italy. Established since 1605, it produces some of the best balsamic vinegar in the world - rightfully nicknamed "Black Gold".

This is one of the must do places. The produce is amazing but if it’s your first time the tour in the factory for the balsamic vinegar is very entertaining. This was my second time and we purchased several bottles as this balsamic is the best I have ever tasted

We had a wonderful and very informative visit to Acetaia Giusti. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the history and production of traditional balsamic vinegar. The highlight was definitely the tasting, such a delicious experience! We also got great tips on where to try the product at local restaurants in Modena, which made our stay even more special. Highly recommend this visit to anyone passing through the area! Grazie!

One of the oldest or possibly the oldest Modena vinegar producers. Multiple gold medal winner for various iterations of the vinegar. Part of the intangible cultural heritage. Very very tasty and and detailed and guided tastings plus a very beautiful museum and Cellars. The process of Modena vinegar making is well explained . They still do the traditional method of distilling and ageing. The aroma in the Cellars is mouthwatering

Visiting Acetaia Giusti was an unforgettable experience. The cellar tour was fascinating, and the vinegar tasting was excellent. The staff was friendly, and the space is rich in history. They also have a shop where you can purchase their products – from various types of balsamic vinegar to gift sets. I highly recommend this visit to anyone wanting to experience authentic Modenese tradition.

I can’t believe this tour is free—it’s so good! You get to learn the history of Giusti in the museum, see the actual aging rooms full of product and then taste 10 different varieties. It was an amazing experience. Highly recommend!

Learning about the history of balsamic, feeling the environment it is being produced, and tasting different versions of it… This was a great experience! I really appreciated the free guided tour of the museum. I booked it one day before and everything went so smoothly. I think this is a must-do thing if you are visiting Modena. Highly recommended!

What an extremely well organised guided tour through the museum and an amazing array of products that have been passed down generations of expertise that you get to taste ALL before you buy. The English guide was very informative and helpful. The team’s communication throughout the booking and coordination at arrival was excellent! A must visit!
