Visit an Authentic Balsamic Vinegar Factory with One of Our Tours
Home • Tour
Tour
A tour of the vinegar factory is a unique opportunity to get to know the true Balsamic Vinegar tradition and taste the Traditional Balsamic Vinegar in an authentic place, not a museum for tourists!
The Historic Acetaia is one of the few still operating vinegar factories located in a tower dating back to the 16th century. The oldest barrels of our production are kept in this little jewel of local history and culture. Come and discover it with one of our guided tours and tastings.
Things to Know
Advance booking is required to access the vinegar factory. It is possible to book at different times of the day, morning or afternoon, from Monday to Sunday. Visiting time slots and availability may vary throughout the year, contact us before purchasing your tour.
Due to the narrow stairways of the tower, the tours held inside the Historic Acetaia are not recommended for people with reduced mobility or those who suffer from claustrophobia. Furthermore, access to the vinegar factory is not permitted to children under the age of 10.
Temperatures
Our tours take place inside real functioning vinegar factories, not museum spaces. For that reason, different temperatures can be experienced inside the factory throughout the year. Balsamic Vinegar, unlike wine, in fact needs to follow the natural climatic changes. In winter the temperatures can go down to 0°C, while in summer it may reach 35°C.
