OUR GUESTS’ WORDS

  • This Focaccia making experience was one of the highlights of our trip to Italy! Marco and the others made us feel like part of the family! Sitting on the patio within the beautiful setting of the Puglia countryside was dreamlike. The Focaccia was perfect- tasted just like my Nona from Bari made every Sunday! Marco was an amazing host— we highly recommend!

    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

    Our host was exceptional and very kind, providing us with a variety of local foods to try, along with stories to go with them. The experience itself was very intimate and authentic, as we prepped 3 types of pasta in an old wine cellar and ate our preparations (and then some) on the back patio. We learned a great deal about Italian living and the food was absolutely delicious. The intention is to do this anytime were in the Puglia region!

  • No such a great experience when done authentically in the farmhouse (masseria) of Anna, fabulous hosting and guidance of Marco and the great funny grandma Francesca. Even our younger child (although 20 yrs old) who doesn't cook had actively participating and enjoyed the preparation of the various pastas. Ending the cooking session with a delicious lunch prepared by Anna from our hand making pasta accompanied with local wine and the local pasticciotto, and yes, Anna cherry 🍒 liquor was of a timely great finale. Thank you again Marco, Francesca and Anna . Would love to return back. Big hugs and love from us.

    We enjoyed an excellent visit at this friendly, informative and interesting location. We started to really understand how extra virgin olive oil is made and why there are differences. Our host was lovely and her passion shone thru. Very genuine place. Would highly recommend.

    Absolutely brilliant food experience! From start to finish, the orecchiette pasta making course was our favourite holiday activity. Anna and Francesca were wonderful hosts and teachers, alongside Marco who was a brilliant translator and helped make the experience so easy! It was extremely in depth, we learned at least 8 different types of orecchiette. As it was just us, it felt like we could ask every question that popped into our heads! To top it off, Marco and Anna arranged for us to have our lunch in our own Trulli onsite! We were given a fabulous meal of breads, charcuterie and of course, the pasta we’d just prepared- topped off with vino, gorgeous traditional Puglian desserts and Anna’s homemade liqueurs. This was without doubt the best course we’ve ever done in Italy. We will be booking again with Marco and Terra Che Vive on our next trip. Worth every penny.

  • We had such an amazing experience with Terra Che Vive. Their team set up our Airbnb beautifully to make 3 different types of pastas and to eat one of the most amazing meals we had on our entire stay in Italy. I'm so happy we found them, and would recommend this experience to anyone who is looking to do a high-quality cooking class and eating experience in Puglia. It was an unforgettable experience!
