Modena Food Tour

STILL CALL IT BREAKFAST?

In a Modena food tour, breakfast is sweet, fried, and crunchy. Phil on Netflix loved it. I'm sure you will too.

A LIFE IN THE MARKET

Mercato Albinelli is the liberty foodie hall of Modena.
Walk around the stalls, meet the owners, and...wait: is that Massimo Bottura buying Parmigiano Reggiano?

INSIDE THE BLACK GOLD

Do you know why Modena is famous for its Aceto Balsamico?
Taste the flavor of different balsamic agings and producers. Learn which bottle to choose amongst the hundreds, and how to not waste its precious drops

TASTE THE SOCIAL FOOD OF MODENA

Tigelle and Lambrusco help to be social more than Facebook and Instagram. Up the glasses and: salute!

GRANDMA'S SWEETS

Taste Modena's most famous desserts in a small shop loved by Luciano Pavarotti and Enzo Ferrari. And say goodbye with an elixir of pleasure

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.

What a fantastic food tour! Loredana our host was exceptionally engaging as she introduced us to the tastes of Modena, from breakfast traditions to dessert, everything is covered. Good introduction to the history of the area and how important food production is in this region.
