Live the True Apulian Experience

Come visit my family’s farm.
We’ll walk together through olive trees and almond groves, I’ll show you how I grow everything naturally, and we’ll end with a traditional Apulian lunch made with products from my fields and nearby farms.

But that’s not all.

You’ll also learn how to make fresh pasta by hand, the way we’ve done it for generations.
My mother will teach you how to prepare the most typical Apulian shapes like:

  • Orecchiette

  • Cavatelli

  • Fricelli

It’s more than just a meal, it’s a celebration of simplicity, family, and the taste of real Puglia.

🧀 Other available experiences:

  • Wine tasting at a local family run winery

  • Visit to a traditional dairy to see how mozzarella, burrata, and provolone are made
