The acetaia at Casa Maria Luigia shelters aging balsamic vinegar and a wondrous collection of modern art with glowing light installations by Ingo Maurer and tapestries by Kehinde Wiley. The 1,200 barrels contain syrupy balsamico like nothing you’ve ever tasted. Tours and tastings run from Tuesday through Sunday at 6 p.m. in English and 7:15 p.m. in Italian; make reservations at www.casamarialuigia.com/acetaia-maria-luigia
