OUR GUESTS’ WORDS

  • Wonderful experience! Tour of cheese making facility was extremely interesting and then the farm made it all so real. The cheese, meats, bread, wine, water and dessert afterwards were delicious. Well worth the drive and price.

    An absolutely wonderful experience! Our Italian host, Marco, was well spoken and beautifully informed. We have never thought of doing cheese making, however, this will be long remembered. Cheese makers, Umberto and Francesco, were delightful and made us feel “part of the team”. They encouraged us to be fully involved (with our hands) in every step. Our labors were rewarded with delicious cheeses to eat! Lunch also included local meats! A tremendous event!! Highly recommended!!!

    We had a wonderful experience with Terra Che Vive on our Pasta making course with Chef David and his Nonna Julia at their family Trulli. Communication leading up to the event was great and the team hosted a lovely evening for our group of 6 adults. We learned about Puglian pasta and a bit of local culture. David and Francesca (of Terra Che Vive) created a wonderfully relaxed, well organized, laugh filled evening for us. And they topped it off with an incredible meal. We highly recommend!

  • Located within the walls of a traditional Trulli home, we enjoyed the wine tasting which was accompanied by several local cheeses, various sausages and homemade preserves presented by the owner couple. The tour included a look at the wine making premises and operations and a very informative presentation of the area wines by the proprietor, Marcus, himself. Highly recommend this opportunity!

    Great host. Very patient and the tour was nice for us to start our holiday in Puglia. We understood a little more about the region and its historic context. The pasta making and cheese making chefs were very polite and good. The only drawback was that as we were non meat and alcohol drinkers. The substitute items were perhaps not as good. We could've done with some good veggie options at the end to sample.

    Great experience visiting an olive farm. Had a great time and the customer support for booking and instructions on how to get to the farm were great. Highly recommend booking though here.

  • We booked the Mozzarella tasting tour, and it exceeded our expectations. From the first contact with Marco until the very end of our experience, we felt we were in the hands of real professionals. Marco met us at the farm on time. We had some problems with luggage storate and Marco made sure they were handled before our tour started. He took us to different points of interest, including a demonstration of the making of various cheeses, stories about the farm history and more. The place itself is pleasant and relaxing, it also has some accomodation options we plan to try next time. During the demonstration we tasted amazing mozzarella and burrata, and later we also had other delicious items, including cured meats, wine and a dessert. The experience was pleasant, our 13 year old daughter loved to see the farm animals, which are kept in good welfare in health by people who really love what they do. Authentic, excellent experience, highly recommend Marco and the team.

    We had an incredible time with Marco and Umberto. Our daughter (3.5) talks about it constantly. They were both so wonderful with her, and she (and we!) learned so much. Highly recommend this experience.

    The farm tour and cheese tasting were wonderful! We loved learning about the history of the farm, local area and the art of cheese making. Our children had a great time, and we all agreed it was the best mozzarella and burrata we have ever had. We also enjoyed lunch at the farm restaurant after the tour and all of the food was delicious (warning, portions are generous so come hungry!).
