Acetaia Marchi confirms its presence at Acetaie Aperte 2022
Get out your calendar and mark this date: Sunday 25 September 2022. This is in fact the day chosen for Acetaie Aperte 2022, which will see more than 40 producers engaged in guided tours, tastings and many other very interesting projects, aimed at promoting and raising awareness of the excellence of Modena’s black gold. We are not talking about oil, of course, but about something even more precious: the event is organised by the two Consortia for the protection of the Balsamic Vinegar of Modena PGI and the Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena PDO, which join forces to make the most of this product, one of the must-haves of our Peninsula, with export peaks as high as 92% of annual production. Organised visits to the vinegar cellars of Modena The production of the Balsamic Vinegar of Modena PGI and that of the renowned Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena PDO is long-standing and has its roots in family traditions and the special characteristics of the Modena lowlands. The vinegar cellars are often in attics, in old farmhouses, in old family villas, all characteristic places and in most cases reserved for insiders. This is why, on the occasion of Acetaie Aperte 2022, everyone is given the opportunity to visit these places steeped in history, where with patience and dedication so many families have been able to obtain a product with unique characteristics and a wide range of flavours and aromas, also given by the type of wood used for barrel ageing. Acetaia Marchi and its typical products The Acetaia Marchi will also take part in Acetaie Aperte 2022, renewing its appointment with an event that aims to unite all producers, each with its own characteristics and, of course, its secrets, so as to involve all consumers, both regulars and potential ones, showing them how Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena DOP is produced and why this product is considered so renowned. Acetaia Marchi will be at the event in grand style, with guided tours starting from the vineyard, passing through the vinegar cellar and ending in the tasting room, right next to the shop, which will be open for the entire day. For the day of Acetaie Aperte 2022, a small tasting of typical products is planned: tigelle with cured meats and jams, accompanied by a glass of Lambrusco. Since 1910, Acetaia Marchi has been producing the renowned Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena PDO, Balsamic Vinegar of Modena PGI and, together with them, other by-products such as Saba, balsamic condiments, sauces, compotes and jams. On Sunday 25 September, there will be the opportunity to taste all these products and hear, from the producers themselves, about the characteristics of each one and how best to combine them to enhance their qualities. Appointment at Acetaie Aperte 2022! Acetaie Aperte 2022 has a programme that day after day is enriched with new proposals, which also involve children. On the www.acetaieaperte.com portal, you will find all the constantly updated news, including visits to educational farms, grape harvest demonstrations, the Balsamic Treasure Hunt and much more. For adults there will be lunches in the tavern with tastings of Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena PDO, walks in the botanical garden with a view of the valleys, contests with selfies in the vinegar cellar, tastings of ancient fruit tarts and much, much more. We look forward to seeing you!

Welcome to Modena: the initiative to relaunch tourism
The last year has put everyone to the test and tourism in our city and many other cities in Italy has suffered. The pandemic, however, cannot stop us. And this is why Welcome to Modena has been created. Conceived to relaunch tourism in our region, this initiative is very important and that’s why we’ve decided to be part of it. A voucher available to tourists Are you planning a long trip to Modena and its province or just a weekend in the Modena hills to rediscover art, the territory and flavours? Would you like to visit the towns and villages in the area or go trekking in the Modena Apennines? In any case, you can take advantage of the Welcome to Modena initiative and benefit from one or more vouchers to spend within the territory. This is our welcome to all tourists who book in our province. How does the Welcome to Modena offer work? To take advantage of this offer, you must book a stay of at least two nights by accessing the welcometomodena.it website. Once you have done so, all you have to do is plan your trip, consulting sites such as visitmodena.it, and get ready to leave! Upon arrival at the accommodation facility where you made your reservation, you will receive Welcome to Modena vouchers. What is the value of the vouchers earned? Every tourist who books through the initiative’s website will be entitled to one or more vouchers, the value of which will depend on the cost of their stay. If you book two nights between Friday and Sunday, you will receive one or more vouchers worth a total of 40% of the cost of your stay. For bookings made between Monday and Thursday, the total value of the vouchers received will correspond to 30% of the cost of the room and breakfast. Where can Welcome to Modena vouchers be spent? There are many activities that have joined the initiative. Therefore, the vouchers can be spent in numerous restaurants, agritourisms, shops selling typical or handmade products, bars, wine shops and much more. The participating businesses are located in the historic centre of Modena and also in many other locations in the province. The vouchers can be spent in many museums and to pay for some guided tours, courses, workshops, excursions and many other exciting activities. They can even be used to visit some local farms and to go and taste or buy products such as Parmigiano Reggiano or balsamic vinegar… You can come and taste the balsamic vinegar with us! Welcome to Modena: an initiative not to be underestimated As you will have understood, Welcome to Modena is a very interesting initiative and all the tourists who participate will be able to help us promote our territory. In the meantime they will be able to admire the many beauties of Modena and its surroundings, taste typical products and save money without sacrificing quality. The project to relaunch tourism in the province of Modena is supported by the Chamber of Commerce. All accommodation facilities in the area have been given the opportunity to participate. The same opportunity has been offered to all micro and small enterprises in Modena and its province belonging to various tourism-related sectors. So we decided to join! We at Acetaia Marchi also want to support tourism and relaunch our territory. Therefore, we are proud of the Welcome to Modena initiative and hope that you will be able to participate in large numbers. You can use the vouchers in our vinegar factory, maybe to book a visit and discover how we produce our balsamic… We look forward to seeing you!
