Lovely little museum, shows history of family of producers and the balsamic vinegar is made, with tour around storage barrels area. Then to the tasting. Tasted a big selection of various ages and pedigrees which really helped me understand the subtle differences. Very worthwhile trip, just wish I could have brought more home. Plus they provided a gorgeous pannetone for us to share.

We visited the museum as an unplanned event. Had some extra time one day and dropped in. Boy this was a pleasant surprise. The buildings that house the Museum are really well done. One is Enzo’s family home which consist of engines on display along with the office he worked from. The adjoining modern building has the cars. What’s special about this building as much as the content is how they have architecturally presented the facility and allowed each vehicle... I mean masterpiece the space need to really allow yourself ability to view each car. There are some pretty amazing historical facts that most don’t know about Ferrari such as he never flew or took an elevator in his life. Never visited Rome and only went to Monza in Milan. How he basically lived his entire life in Modena. I would definitely go out of my way to visit this museum/ shrine. The Lamborghini museum is worthwhile however if you’re only doing one, this is it.
