Enjoy a relaxing day of wine tasting and lunch at a beautiful local estate, renowned for producing some of Puglia’s finest wines. Discover the region’s unique grape varieties and savor seasonal dishes made with farm-fresh ingredients.

This little town is known for its collection of Trulli whitewashed stone huts that are a must to see when in this region. The Trulli is a traditional dry stone hut that dates back to the mid 14th century. They were originally constructed for temporary field houses for agricultural laborers. The pictures alone are worth the visit! We will then make our way to a locals lunch, and a small private producer of oil to taste the local production

Lecce is just a must. Why? Because it's an incredible historical city that has so many sites to see,  but it's also known for its "Cucina Povera", which translates to "poor cuisine", and it's absolutely delicious.  It's tasty cuisine from rural families that cook seasonally using only what's from the farm at that time. The local dishes have made their way to local restaurants and you have to experience it and the beautiful history of Lecce. We will make a pit stop on the way home to Ostuni to have an aperitivo in the square and to see 'The White City".

This town should have written the playbook for Mediterranean Diet.  A good glass of wine, local seafood, rich olive oils, grains. The women here would turn the local seafood bits that were harder to sell into fabulous creations known as  "Merosche", which simply translates to "concoction". They also have a meat sauce called "Manzu", made with 7 different meats! So many great culinary dishes in this little fishing village that are "must haves" and we will learn to cook a few of them with a fresh pasta!

One of the best inventions in food came from Puglia. We can thank the 1950's "mistake" from a dairy farmer that made a splash hit in recent years- the most creamy, yummy and the dream of many when they think of cheese... Burrata! We will learn how to make this divine cheese, along with a couple of other local cheeses from one of the best. Pure heaven! Later that evening, we will enjoy our last dinner together at one of the best local restaurants.
