OUR GUESTS’ WORDS

  • Marco and Umberto were incredible hosts. From start to finish they made us feel welcome. We toured the farm, Marco shared the rich history of the farm and the land surrounding, Umberto walked us through the entire process of mozzarella and burrata cheese making, and we finished off the day with a delightful spread of meats, cheeses, and wines. We thoroughly enjoyed our time and would highly recommend the experience to anyone.

    A wonderful way to spend a few hours! Marco is a fantastic, passionate local guide and his enthusiasm made the whole experience better for us. Highlights were cycling through the ancient olive groves and of course the oil tasting at the end. Thank you, Marco! Highly recommend.

    We had amazing time with Rafaela and Clelia. Learning how to make Focaccia and Orecchiette was so easy and flawless. They are super nice, communication was smooth, they paid attention to each of us guiding us how to get the best Orecchiette. And lunch was delicious. We had the best burrata even, made same day by local artisans. Got some insights on one to to in the city and left home with their ‘secret recipes’ so we can cook the best pastas at home as well. Trusted source :)! Tried alone at home the recipes and went perfectly fine! Will definitely try it again when will come back and share with our friends as well! Grazie!!

  • My wife and I had an amazing time during the tour, cheese-making, and cheese-eating. Marco was an amazing guide, as he walked us through the history of the location, the cheese-making processes, and answered any questions we had. Our time cheese-making with Umberto was easy and fun! We enjoyed the private nature of the tour, and ended our time with a private meal, both with the cheeses we made, and cured meats (and of course some wine). I highly recommend this tour. The entire experience is very much worth the cost.
