Our family of six enjoyed the Farm house tour tremendously. Our kids range from ages 9-16 and they all enjoyed watching the cheese being made and seeing all the farm animals. The lunch afterward was delicious and there was so much food! We enjoyed learning about how the masseria worked from so long ago. Marco was very responsive and did a great job. Thank you Terra Che Vive!

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 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!

Highly recommend to take this class! It is truly unique experience. You make cheese with our own hands, and you eat it...during the process and after. Marco is knowledgeable about the farm and good English, very nice. I would go again if visit Puglia.

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.

A spectacular morning in Puglia! Making cheese in the dairy, preparing pasta and bread with Grandma in the kitchen, touring the farm, and then a veritable feast for lunch. A must do experience!
