Gastronomic Tours

Gastronomic tours can be arranged in different areas. In Puglia, our English-speaking guide Alex from Alberobello is your private chaperon for the day. He will take you off the beaten track to discover the traditions of Apulian cuisine. Stopping off at an Olive oil mill, you will meet the owners and learn the various olive-pressing processes. Next stop; lunch at a traditional "masseria" (farmhouse). The tour also includes a visit to a dairy farm to see how the local "canestrato" and "mozzarella" cheese is produced. You will also discover local secrets of "orecchiette" and "cavatelli", fresh handmade pasta. Finally, a gastronomic tour of Puglia is incomplete without a visit to a bakery. Find out how to make the famous Apulian bread and delicacies such as "taralli" - sweet biscuits made with dried figs and almonds.
