    We visited a cheese farm producing mozzarella and buratta, but also many other types of cheese. We were able to see the cows, the milking process, the making of mozzarella and buratta and taste local cheeses and ham at the end of the visit. Giuseppe, the owner of the farm and the tour guide was very friendly and passionate about his work. An amazing experience, we highly recommend!

  • Myself and 3 others booked a tour and lunch with Terra Che Vive. It stands out as one of my favourite activities our our trip to Italy. The communication with the establishment was excellent and food requests were honoured. The actual day was spectacular - we enjoyed the small group experience and the beautiful landscape. Our guide was engaging, knowledgeable and friendly. I can't say enough about the lunch - it surpassed all of our expectations both in terms of variety, presentation, and taste. I would certainly recommend this tour to anyone looking for an "away from the maddening crowds" experience and what that reflects the true southern Italian culture. Thank you all.

  • Truly a wonderful experience and Highly recommended! A very interesting and informative tour in a beautiful Masseria. We enjoyed the process of cheese making and tasted minutes made mozzarella. It was delicious. After the cheese tour we visited the farm, many cows and cute calves amongst other animals. We were also informed about the area, the Itria valley, Trulli and more. Marco is a super guide, very friendly and welcoming. He speaks very good english and we had a wonderful conversation about our country and food in general. The place where the farm is situated is so peaceful with wonderful views of the countryside. After the tour we enjoyed a tasting which included local capocollo, salami, bread, caciocavallo, fresh cheese (divine), mozzarella etc all fresh and produced in-house. To accompany our meal we were given a large bottle of wine from the Itria Valley and a bottle of water, followed by dessert and coffee. Worth every penny :) Well done to all and keep it up! thanks for this amazing experience. Malta xxx

    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.

    Clelia & Raffaella were wonderful! We went into Clelia’s home and learned all about simple but beautiful Puglian food, as well as two wonderful Puglian women and their amazing dog, Jame. We can’t wait to cook the food at home in England, and we cannot thank them enough for their kindness and this memorable experience.
