Tour enogastronomici e corsi di cucina locale in Puglia

We booked the dairy farm tour and pasta making class as a group of six, including 4 adults and 2 children, aged 8 and 5. I was looking for an experience that the children could really get involved in and enjoy and this definitely fit the bill. The tour took place at a beautiful Masseria in the countryside near Martina Franca where we were greeted by Marco and first taken to a wildflower meadow while he explained a bit about the Masseria and what we would be doing that day and we got to take some photos. We then moved on to a tour of the dairy, where we saw the cheese being made and were given some to taste. It was very interesting (and delicious!) and one of the cheese makers even made the cheese into little animal shapes for the children's amusement! Next we had the opportunity to make and shape our own pasta, and were shown how to make several different shapes including orecchiette, cavatelli and more. We may not have been the most skilled at making the shapes but we all had lots of fun trying and the children loved this part of the experience, and with support we were all able to make some passable shapes in the end! We were then given our fresh pasta to take away and cook later on. After we had finished with the pasta, we were given a tour of the farm where we were able to meet the various animals, including the dairy cows, calves, donkeys, deer, ostriches, geese, dogs, cats and more. We were also shown the trulli on site, and there were a few pieces of play equipment for the children to enjoy too. We were told to take as long as we would like to explore and then come back to the masseria when we were ready for lunch. The lunch was both amazing and very generously portioned! There were several appetisers - meats, cheeses, bread, a tomato foccacia, some fried zucchini, some little meatballs, all delicious. This was followed by a pasta dish, and then a traditional dessert with pastry and cream, plus water, wine and coffee were included too. All of the staff were very friendly and pleasant. We really enjoyed the experience and would absolutely recommend it with or without children, though if you are looking for a tour like this to do with children I do think this is probably one of better ones to choose. The whole tour was very engaging and enjoyable, and Marco was on hand to help and explain things throughout. A great experience for our family.

Marco selected three excursions for our family and all three were excellent. Marco quickly responded to all our emails and sent reminders several days before each excursion. Highly recommend his services.

Our cheese making tour with Marco was a wonderful experience ! We learned the full process of mozzarella and burrata making on a typical masseira with very kind cheese makers. We made our own cheese and then tasted it with a variety of other cheese and food. Grazie Marco!

Truly lovely, highly recommend. We visited with our two children and had an amazing time. Excellent tour with a knowledgeable and super friendly guide. You will meet ancient trees, the sweetest puppies (ok, they are very old and gentle but so cute), visit an ancient cave for olive oil transformation as well as have a delightful tasting with the owner who was truly a gem. N.B. The tour is booked with an agency and not directly through the people on site.

Wir haben die Tour "Organic evo oil tour & tasting in an old masseria in Puglia" gemacht. Die Kommunikation mit dem Veranstalter lief super schnell und reibungslos ab. Die Tour war sehr interessant und die Tour-Führerin super lieb. Wir hatten auch Glück, sodass unsere Gruppe nur aus 4 Personen bestand. Also alles so wie man es sich vorstellt.

Very nice we enjoyed it
