A nice reinvigorating cappuccino together with our expert local guide could be the best start of this special foodie day: let’s see if you’re brave enough to dip gnocco fritto in it as tradition asks!

A Modena tour cannot be named such without a quick walk through or by the historic Albinelli food market*, where the locals go for their gastronomic shopping or even just for a bite of parmesan and cured meats picked from a charcuterie board or hidden inside mouth-watering tigelle along with lard or soft cheese.

Lambrusco cannot be skipped either…And would you ever miss the chance to taste the world-famous black gold produced here, that is Traditional Balsamic Vinegar PDO? You will not only savour this precious balm, but also get more familiar with its charming history and with the differences from the Tradizionale grade and any other similar aceto you may have seen on the shelves of whichever food store around the world!
