    Brilliant experience!! Everything was great from the communication to tasting of all the different cheeses at the end. Really enjoyed learning how to make the cheese and Marco was excellent.

    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.

  • We enjoyed 2 fantastic local experiences whilst on holiday in Puglia. After contacting Terra Che Vive by email, Marco was super helpful in organising an olive oil tasting and tour, as well as an authentic private pasta making class. Both experiences were in beautiful settings with very friendly and informative guides/cooks. Terra Che Vive really helped to provide the absolute highlights of our time in the region.

    Ho trovato l'esperienza della visita in masseria con la preparazione dei prodotti caseari tipici molto coinvolgente. Una nota di elogio va alla guida Marco così come ad Umberto, che con pazienza e simpatia ci hanno mostrato dettagliatamente tutte le fasi della produzione casearia. Ottima la successiva degustazione dei salumi e latticini.

    The tour was fun and we learnt so much. Rosaria was the perfect host and we were also joined by the family dog who was the best mascot as well. The olive oil history was really well explained and the tasting was great. Thanks very much
