The Secrets of Parmigiano Reggiano & Balsamic Vinegar Tour

Claudio was great, he explained so well the entire process of the cheese production. It was so neat to be able to see the farm and the place where they store the balsamic vinegar. If you suffer from motion sickness like me I recommend to take a pill the Ford van doesn't have all facing forward seats on the way to the train station I thought I was going to be sick so if I can save you a bad time at the end !

Claudio is wonderful - friendly, highly knowledgeable, and cares very much about what he is sharing with you. Communication about pick up, what is included, etc. was outstanding. The Parmigiano Reggiano cheese making process was particularly interesting to our group, but it was all very well done. We would highly recommend any tour or services he is providing.

Claudio was wonderful and lead one of the best tours of the trip. Starting with breakfast then learning and watching the nakong o f oarmiguano reggiano cheese. A stop at the farm to see the cows. Then a return to the farm house to taste the different maturation of the cheese, with salami, hams and Lambrusco from the region. Next we saw and learned about the making of Balsamic vinegar. This was followed with a tasting of the different agesof vinegar. Claudio was very knowledgeable and passionate about the chees, farm and vinegar. He was a wonderful and engaging guide. I would highly recommend thus trip. It will be a highlight learning and tasting about regional food from a real master from yhe region.

Es war der perfekte Ablauf & Erlebnis mit Claudio und den Familienbetrieben: Der Morgen beginnt mit Kaffee & Kuchen im wunderschöneren Gasthof (früherer Hof der Familie), dann eine Führung durch die Parmesano-Reggiano-Herstellung, wobei wir die Arbeitsschritte der Mitarbeitenden live sehen und Claudio mit Fragen Löchern konnten, dann kurz raus zu den Milchkühen und weiter in die Berge zur Accetaia, wo allen, die noch nie etwas vom echten Balsamico D.O.P. gehört oder probiert haben, die Augen ausgefallen sind. So faszinierend. Die Verkostung des DOPs war super. Am Nachmittag gab es sowohl in der Accetaia als auch bei den finalen Häppchen im Gasthof mit Parmesano Reggiano, Parma Schinken und Lambrusco Wein die Gelegenheit die Produkte ganz entspannt zu kaufen. Claudio ist super sympathisch und erklärt mit großer Leidenschaft.

We loved it. Claudio reach out to me and guide me since I booked the tour. Pick up on time, very respectful and acknowledgeable of both tours. It was very interest to learn the process of the cheese and the balsamic vinegar and to learn the history the backs up both products. Spectacular views, tasteful breakfast and lunch on which we got to taste cheese and desert to taste the balsamic vinegar. Overall tour was amazing and informative, good to do it with friends and family. My friends and I recommend this tour with dumps up 👍😊thanks you Claudio from all of us. Ciao

We’re a family of four with two teenagers and this tour was one of the highlights of our trip to Italy! Claudio was an exceptional guide-warm, knowledgeable, and genuinely funny. He made everyone feel welcome and engaged, regardless of age, and brought the experience to life with his passion for local food and tradition. Beyond his deep knowledge of Parmigiano Reggiano and balsamic vinegar, Claudio’s attention to detail really stood out. He was on time, incredibly communicative before and during the tour, and his vehicle was spotless. He even provided shoe covers and hand sanitizer—small touches that showed how much he cares about his guests’ comfort and experience. A special moment for us was visiting twin calves that had been born that morning. It was wonderful to see how well the animals are treated—it made the whole process feel even more meaningful. Claudio made the entire day feel personal, seem less and unforgettable. If you’re anywhere near Reggio Emilia, don’t miss it!!
