Modena Food Tour

START YOUR DAY THE MODENESE WAY

Forget boring breakfasts—here, we dip crispy gnocco fritto into creamy cappuccino. Phil Rosenthal (Netflix) was amazed. You will be too.

A LIFE IN THE MARKET

Step into Modena’s foodie heart: Mercato Albinelli.
Meet the passionate vendors, taste their specialties, and—wait, is that Massimo Bottura buying Parmigiano Reggiano?

INSIDE THE BLACK GOLD

Do you know why Modena is famous for its Aceto Balsamico?
Step inside a real acetaia—normally closed to the public. Taste the flavor of different balsamic agings. Learn which bottle to choose among the hundreds. And never waste a single drop again.

TASTE THE SOCIAL FOOD OF MODENA

In Modena, friendships are made over tigelle and Lambrusco. Raise your glass and say: Salute!

GRANDMA'S SWEETS

Taste Modena’s most famous desserts in a historic pastry shop loved by Luciano Pavarotti and Enzo Ferrari. End your journey with a sip of a legendary elixir.

WHAT OUR GUESTS ARE SAYING

What a wonderful tour of Modena and its native specialties! Our guide shared her knowledge and personal experience with us as we wandered through Modena, starting with a traditional savory breakfast treat! The tour continued, winding through the Mercato Storico Albinelli, as we collected different treats that would be our lunch. Brava, Laurie. Grazie mille!

We loved our food tour in Modena! All of the stops were amazing and the guide gave us a perfect blend of historical and food information. I’m pregnant and she also made sure to let me know anything to avoid. Highly recommended!

Loridana was knowledgeable and friendly. The food tour was memorable with stops at many venues. Besides Parmesan Cheese and Balsamic Vinegar, we tasted fruits of the region, traditional snacks and gelato. This tour was the best of several we took.
