What happens when a tradition deeply linked to the Modena area meets the creativity of mixology?
On the occasion of Acetaie Aperte 2026, we at Acetaia Marchi decided to discover it together with you, through an experience that combines history, tasting, and creativity.
An afternoon dedicated to our Balsamic Vinegar, to learn about its history and aging process, taste it and, finally, discover it in a completely new guise.
Balsamic Vinegar and Mixology: A Meeting to Discover
In recent years, the world of mixology has begun to look with ever greater curiosity at ingredients from gastronomy, in search of new flavors, scents, and contrasts. Among these, Balsamic Vinegar can also find an interesting role in the preparation of cocktails.
Its aromatic characteristics, the balance between sweet notes and acidity, and the ability to add depth to a preparation make it a versatile ingredient, capable of interacting with spirits, fruit, spices, and other blending elements.
Using Balsamic in a cocktail therefore means going beyond its more traditional use and discovering new possibilities. It’s a way to bring tradition and innovation into dialogue, bringing a product that is a symbol of Modena’s gastronomic culture into a contemporary context.
And this is precisely the heart of our experience for Acetaie Aperte 2026: showing how Balsamic can surprise even when it comes out of its most popular pairings.
From aging rooms to tasting
The experience will begin at 3 pm with the possibility of taking a guided tour of the two aging rooms of our Balsamic Vinegars.
It will be an opportunity to enter the heart of Acetaia and discover more closely the world of Balsamic, its aging process and the care that accompanies each product.
At the end of the visit, a tasting of our products will follow, to know and savor the different expressions of Balsamic.
The Balsamic meets modernity
After discovering Balsamic in its most traditional guise, it will be time to see it as the protagonist of a completely different experience.
An experienced Fluidlab bartender will prepare a cocktail made with Balsamic Vinegar and other Acetaia products, including condiments and pearls, live through a real mixology live show.
A moment designed to show how a product deeply linked to tradition can be reinterpreted in a contemporary key.
And after seeing it prepared, of course, it will be time to taste it!
The cocktail will be accompanied by appetizers and will all be included in the cost of 15 € per person.
A memory to take home
Before concluding the experience, each participant will receive a free gift based on products by Acetaia Marchi.
A little reminder of the day and, at the same time, an invitation to continue experimenting at home, using our products to create new recipes and pairings.
