Castelvetro di Modena
Fattoria Moretto is currently run by Fausto and Fabio, the third generation of the Altariva family. The winery's origins trace back to the early 1960s when their grandfather, Antonio Altariva, moved the family from Pavullo nel Frignano to the hills of Castelvetro to start a winemaking venture under a sharecropping contract. In 1995, Fausto decided to convert vineyard cultivation to the "integrated production" method, marking the first step towards organic farming. Today, Fattoria Moretto's production is focused on expressing the unique characteristics of the Lambrusco Grasparossa territory, emphasizing quality over quantity. In the heart of the territory of Lambrusco Grasparossa, about 200 meters above sea level, Fausto and Fabio Altariva feelingly cultivated their lands. The farm, completely run with organic methods, is extended into non-adjacent parcels on the hills of Castelvetro. The area has good ventilation which tempers the summer heat and protects plants from disease.

A once-in-a-lifetime...
A once-in-a-lifetime experience! My mom and I had an amazing time exploring where so many of our favorite foods and wines are made. Every stop featured local, family-owned businesses, which made the tour feel authentic and special. It truly was an incredible day—we learned so much, enjoyed delicious tastings, and had meaningful, personable conversations with our wonderful guides, Elizabeth and Angel. Highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a memorable and enriching experience!
Response from the operator: Thank you Mattei! We enjoyed our time with you as much as you did with us! We hope to see you and your mother again soon!! Thank you for leaving us such a kind review. It means a lot. Cheers!

From start to finish,...
From start to finish, angel was an absolute delight! He guided us and explained everything at every factory we explored. We didn’t have coffee before leaving for our tour, and he ended up stopping at a cafe for espresso for us. If you’re in Florence, do not skip out on this trip! Highly recommended to any one!!!’ Thank you angel!!!
Response from the operator: Thank you Anthony for this review! We really appreciate it. So glad you loved the tour. Cheers!

A Tour Worth the Money!
THIS is the tour you want AND have to do!!! At first we were hesitant on choosing this tour given the cost. Then, after a well traveled friend reviewed the itinerary and said that it sounded great, we committed and hoped for the best. We were not disappointed. Angel was ready to pick us up right on schedule right from our hotel. Shortly after from pulling away from the hotel, Angel cordially introduced himself and we had a great introduction conversation. He then commenced to review the day's itinerary. There was a modification due to a vendor's request and he said that it would just switch a couple stops and not change the day's activities or timing. We appreciated the honesty and explanation. From the first stop to the last, we were amazed at the knowledge Angel had about the locations and products from all our stops. Even more appreciated was his smooth delivery and willingness to answer questions. It was no surprise that he had a great relationship with the staff of every establishment. As said above, this tour is not to be passed by. You will not regret it. Just sit back, relax and get immersed in this fabulous experience.
Response from the operator: Wow! Thank you Hendri! You really captured the essence of this tour. Part of the quality experience of a private tour with Enotropea is the friendships that form along the way. Something that cannot be obtained in a large group. Thank you for this beautiful review. We really appreciate it.

Wow, what a food day!
What a great food experience! Our driver, Stefano was fantastic, very knowledgeable and friendly. What an experience the day was- learning about parmigiana cheese, prosciutto, and balsamic vinegar and of course a wine tasting along the way. It’s the ultimate food experience and highly recommend this tour.
Response from the operator: Thanks for the great review! We appreciate you taking the time out of your day to share about your experience. The tasting tour is a great one and we are so glad you enjoyed it!!

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Exclusive Emilia-Romagna,Parmigiano, Prosciutto, Balsamic, Wine: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Florence.
How much does Exclusive Emilia-Romagna,Parmigiano, Prosciutto, Balsamic, Wine cost?
+
Prices start at €499 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Florence usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Exclusive Emilia-Romagna,Parmigiano, Prosciutto, Balsamic, Wine take?
+
Plan for about 11 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Florence is not rushed.
Is Exclusive Emilia-Romagna,Parmigiano, Prosciutto, Balsamic, Wine worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 41 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Florence, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Exclusive Emilia-Romagna,Parmigiano, Prosciutto, Balsamic, Wine?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Exclusive Emilia-Romagna,Parmigiano, Prosciutto, Balsamic, Wine suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 11-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Exclusive Emilia-Romagna,Parmigiano, Prosciutto, Balsamic, Wine?
+
Around 14 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Florence can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Florence and add a light layer if any part of the 11-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Exclusive Emilia-Romagna,Parmigiano, Prosciutto, Balsamic, Wine start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Florence within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Florence?
+
On Outty we rank every Florence experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Best tour in Florence: Renaissance & Medici -by a storyteller, Small group Tuscan Wineries, Olive Oil & Gourmet Lunch or Dinner, Florence Pizza or Pasta Class with Gelato Making at a Tuscan Farm. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Florence?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Florence?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Exclusive Emilia-Romagna,Parmigiano, Prosciutto, Balsamic, Wine?
+
Included: Certified sommelier/guide with you the entire day; 100% private tour; Light lunch; Private transportation; and Parmesan, prosciutto, Lambrusco and balsamic vinegar of Modena tastings. Not included: Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

+

What languages is Exclusive Emilia-Romagna,Parmigiano, Prosciutto, Balsamic, Wine offered in?
