Acetaia Sereni
(Winery in Emilia-Romagna)
Provides 8 wine tastings and winery visit from €40.00
Acetaia Sereni, with its roots in the early twentieth century, began producing balsamic vinegar under the care of Santina, who joined the Sereni family through marriage. As a housewife, she would prepare traditional Modena meals for her large family, often using balsamic vinegar as a key condiment. To meet her family's needs, Santina produced a few liters of balsamic vinegar each year, a tradition that has since grown into a renowned family business.
Today, Acetaia Sereni is managed by Pier Luigi Sereni, his wife Elisabetta, and their sons Umberto and Francesco. The family now oversees more than 1,500 casks of balsamic vinegar, aged in prized wooden barrels, and exports their exceptional product worldwide. In addition to their balsamic vinegar, the estate is home to over 1,000 olive trees, from which they produce a delicate and fruity extra-virgin olive oil, once again establishing it as a typical product of Modena.
In 2012, the Sereni family expanded their operations by adding a farm holiday center, Agriturismo Acetaia Sereni, located atop a picturesque hill. Here, guests can enjoy traditional Modena dishes, all enhanced with the estate's balsamic vinegar and olive oil, alongside local wines and produce from the estate's vegetable garden. The agriturismo also offers six comfortable rooms, providing a serene and relaxing stay amidst the beautiful Modena countryside.
Tenuta Borri
(Winery in Emilia-Romagna)
Provides 1 wine tasting and winery visit from €15.00
Tenuta Borri, managed by Andrea Pradelli, is a historic estate located in the Travo area within the Trebbia River valley.
The estate, which spans around 5 hectares, has been in the Borri family for at least five generations. After the vineyards were revitalized in 2008, Andrea, an agronomist, took over full-time management, focusing on traditional, sustainable practices. The vineyards, located at altitudes between 400 and 700 meters, benefit from favorable pedoclimatic conditions and manual cultivation. The estate avoids using fertilizers and herbicides, opting instead for minimal phytosanitary treatments, and focuses on traditional winemaking methods enhanced by modern refinements. Fermentation is spontaneous, relying on indigenous yeasts, and sulfur dioxide is used sparingly. The estate prioritizes quality and environmental stewardship, consciously choosing not to pursue organic certification due to the local presence of Flavescence dorée, which necessitates the use of insecticides. The result is a collection of wines that reflect the unique terroir and dedication to craftsmanship.
Monte delle Vigne
(Winery in Emilia-Romagna)
Provides 1 wine tasting and winery visit from €30.00
Founded in 1983, Monte delle Vigne started with a small 7-hectare vineyard and a vision to revive the native grapes of Colli di Parma through sustainable practices. The winery has grown to encompass 40 hectares, producing a diverse range of wines from native varieties like Barbera and Malvasia, as well as international grapes such as Merlot, Chardonnay, and Cabernet Franc.
In 1992, Monte delle Vigne introduced Nabucco, the first still red wine produced in Parma, a blend of Barbera and Merlot aged in French oak barrels. This wine quickly became a symbol of the winery and the region. A few years later, Callas, a 100% Malvasia di Candia, followed, showcasing the white grape’s mineral and crisp elegance.
The winery's growth accelerated in 2003 when Paolo Pizzarotti became the major shareholder, driving expansion and international competitiveness. Innovations such as the 2006 underground cellar with geothermal technology and rainwater recovery solidified Monte delle Vigne’s commitment to eco-sustainability. This approach culminated in the 2021 harvest when the winery was officially certified organic by the ICEA.
Monte delle Vigne continues to innovate, with new labels like Brusata, Il Chiuso, Ginestra, and Quattro Laghi, each telling the story of the unique terroir of Ozzano Taro and the Colli di Parma. Today, the winery blends tradition with modern viticulture, producing wines that reflect the character and history of the land.

The estate also grows Ortrugo and Malvasia di Candia grapes, which yield fresh and sparkling white wines, crafted following local traditions.
Founded in the 1950s by Gino Bargazzi, the winery has remained a family-run business, now managed by his son Roberto, who inherited his father’s passion for winemaking. Maintaining the traditional methods passed down through generations, Roberto continues to focus on the importance of craftsmanship while combining it with a modern search for flavor. Visitors are welcomed into the winery to experience the simple yet high-quality wines that reflect the character of the land.

We use state-of-the-art production technologies to guarantee the protection of the authenticity and organoleptic properties of our wines. The cellar, under its imposing red brick vaults, houses the French oak barrels in which the young wines rest and refine to reach the right level of aging and become the best expression of the terroir and the vines that produced them. Among the Spumantes you’ll find bottles of Villa Amagioia on the characteristic pupitre wine racks, traditionally used for the remuage process, the last key step in preparation for the disgorgement typical of the Metodo Classico (Champagne Method).
The winery and vineyards are situated in a wonderful natural amphitheater, an exceptional location that, since last July, has hosted various events related to the world of wine tourism, such as concerts and open-air cinema with tastings.
The tasting room is open from Wednesday to Sunday, offering visitors a unique experience to discover our wines: Chardonnay, Spumante Metodo Classico, Pinot Noir, and Sangiovese Superiore.

Vigna Cunial
(Winery in Emilia-Romagna)
Provides 1 wine tasting and winery visit from €25.00
Founded in the early 2000s, Vigna Cunial is a family-run, certified organic winery spanning approximately 30 hectares, with 15 hectares dedicated to vineyards on the picturesque hills of Parma, in the commune of Traversetolo. Committed to producing natural, organic wines, the estate follows agronomic practices that respect the microbiological balance of the soil, water, local ecosystems, and the natural rhythms of life.
The vineyards, situated at elevations between 200 and 400 meters above sea level, are planted on highly calcareous, marine-origin soils that impart a unique mineral character and complexity to the wines, distinguished by pronounced saline notes.
Since 2007, Vigna Cunial has been dedicated to the revival of Parma’s ancient Malvasia grape. Registered in 2018 as the only native grape variety of the Parma Province, this grape was originally known as “Malvasia odorosissima” and was later renamed “Malvasia Casalini” in honor of Mr. Casalini, a custodian of some of the oldest vines. Research shows this grape has ancient origins and is likely a descendant of the Muscat of Alexandria. "Malvasia Casalini" stands apart from other local Malvasias, yielding exceptional results in winemaking, particularly in sparkling wine production.
Vigna Cunial is an active member of Vi.Te. (Vignaioli e Territori), the Natural Wine Association, reflecting its commitment to environmental stewardship and biodiversity. In addition to vineyards, the estate cultivates various heritage fruit varieties, and native Mulazzano olive trees, and preserves local biodiversity with hedgerows and broadleaf woodlands, enhancing the landscape’s natural balance.

Podere Casa Piana
(Winery in Emilia-Romagna)

Medici Ermete
(Winery in Emilia-Romagna)
Provides 1 wine tasting and winery visit from €25.00
Founded in 1890 by Remigio Medici, Medici Ermete is a historic winery with roots along the Via Emilia, a vital commercial road in Reggio Emilia. Remigio, who owned three successful taverns, established the winery to capitalize on the family vineyards located between the Via Emilia and the foothills of the Enza Valley. His son, Ermete, expanded the business, cementing the winery's reputation, and passed the legacy to his sons, Valter and Giorgio, who propelled the brand onto the global stage. The 1970s saw a "Lambrusco boom" in the United States, making it one of the first Italian wines to achieve international acclaim. However, the 1980s brought challenges with an influx of low-quality, mass-produced Lambrusco that tarnished the wine’s reputation. In 1988, the fourth generation—Alberto, Pierluigi, and later Alessandra—joined the company and spearheaded a revolution in Lambrusco production. They replanted the vineyards, reducing yields by 35% to focus on quality, a move that led to the creation of the "Concerto" in 1993, a CRU of Lambrusco Salamino. Today, Medici Ermete stands as a beacon of excellence, blending tradition with innovation, and offering visitors a chance to explore the rich history and evolving future of Lambrusco in the heart of Emilia-Romagna.
PODERE RIOSTO - Vini e Agriturismo
(Winery in Emilia-Romagna)
Provides 1 wine tasting and winery visit from €30.00
Nestled on the hills south of Bologna, Podere Riosto stretches towards the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines along the historic Futa highway, which links Bologna with Florence. The estate is deeply rooted in the unique characteristics of its territory, marked by a sandy soil texture, sunny summers, snowy winters, and excellent vineyard exposure (South, South/East, and South West) at 350 meters above sea level. These natural conditions, combined with state-of-the-art oenological technologies and a strong commitment to tradition and environmental sustainability, produce remarkable quality and character wines.
Podere Riosto boasts 24 specialist vineyards classified as Cru, covering around 16 hectares. The vineyards are arranged using espalier structures with spurred cordon or Guyot pruning systems and 3×1 plant spacing, which help maintain and amplify the grapes' sensory richness alongside low yields and hand harvesting. The main varieties cultivated under the Colli Bolognesi DOC designation include Pignoletto, Chardonnay, Barbera, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and the rare, historical Vite del Fantini.
The story of Vite del Fantini is a compelling testament to passion and preservation. Discovered in 1961 by Luigi Fantini in the Pianoro area, the vine was left to the wild until Stefano Galli undertook its recovery with dedication. Working alongside agronomist Federico Curtaz, the GAL 5 Valli, and researchers from the University of Bologna, a thorough study of its genetic and morphological traits culminated in its official registration in the Italian Grapevine Register in 2009. Today, Podere Riosto honors this rediscovered legacy through two expressive wines: Vecchio Riosto and Spumante Rosé For You.

More information on Emilia-Romagna
Emilia Romagna is the perfect destination if you want to enjoy memorable wine tastings and winery visits while discovering some of Italy's most iconic food products. This region was born by the union of two different territories, Emilia and Romagna. Emilia, located in the hinterland, is the land of many PDO and PGI products that represent Italy's food excellence, such as Parmigiano Reggiano, traditional balsamic vinegar and Prosciutto di Parma. Romagna instead borders the Adriatic Sea and is known for its beaches, filled with nightlife during summer, and suggestive hill villages.
Emilia Romagna represents one of the largest wine-growing areas in Italy with over 60.000 hectares and, while here, you will have the chance to experience the variety of wines produced in this area during your wine tastings. The difference between Emilia and Romagna in fact is clear also when looking at the types of wines produced and cultivated grapes. Emilia, the western part, is the land of Lambrusco, a sparkling red wine. In Romagna instead, located on the eastern side, wines are mostly still and produced with Sangiovese, Albana and Pignoletto grapes. Together, the two areas of Emilia Romagna boast 18 DOC, two DOCG and nine IGT appellations.
Which food to taste in Emilia-Romagna?
The distinction between Emilia and Romagna becomes even clearer when looking at the traditional dishes eaten within the region. Nevertheless, throughout the region's territory, you will be able to savor many of Italy's excellencies between a wine tasting and a winery tour. Not by chance, this area is known as Italy's Food Valley. Emilia is the land of fresh egg pasta like tagliatelle with Bolognese ragù, tortellini and tortelloni, cold cuts like Prosciutto di Parma and Culatello di Zibello, Parmiggiano Reggiano and other specialties like Erbazzone. Romagna's cuisine instead includes more fish-based dishes with products like clams and sardines. Fresh pasta plays a big role also in Romagna's cuisine, with shapes like tagliatelle and ravioli. Finally, Romagna's most iconic dish is perhaps Piadina, a sort of flatbread.
Which wines to taste in Emilia-Romagna?
About two-thirds of Emilia Romagna's viticulture is concentrated in its plains. Even so, the region offers a great variety of wines you will discover during your wine tastings and visits to wineries. Within Emilia's area, the most widespread black grape varieties are Barbera, Croatina and Bonarda, as well as many grapes from the Lambrusco family (Salamino, Maestri, Marani, di Sorbara, Grasparossa and Montericco). Malvasia di Candia, Ortrugo and Moscato bianco are instead the most common white grape varieties. Some international grape varieties can also be found, such as Chardonnay, Pinot Bianco, Pinot Grigio, Riesling and Riesling and Müller-Thurgau. In Romagna, the most widespread black grape variety is instead Sangiovese, and the most widespread white one is Trebbiano Romagnolo. Other common varieties found in this area are Pagadebit and Albana.
Which is the best season to visit Emilia-Romagna?
The best moments to visit Emilia Romagna are spring and autumn when the mild temperatures will allow you to enjoy the many wine tastings, winery visits and historical highlights the territory has to offer without suffering from the hot and muggy summer weather.
What things to do in Emilia-Romagna?
Emilia Romagna's diverse territory offers a multitude of activities and historical sites to visit between a winery tour and a wine tasting.
