    We did the Cheese Tasting tour and it was a great experience. The place was beautiful, the tour was really interesting and the tasting we had at the end was of good quality. Marco was really friendly and secured that we had the best experience.

    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

  • Wir haben den Mozzarella/Burrata Workshop auf einem Bauernhof nahe MartinaFranca gebucht. Organisation top! Hat alles super funktioniert unser Guide Marco war spitze. Kurze Führung am Bauernhof, danach zum Workshop. War wirklich ein tolles Erlebnis zu sehen wie Mozzarella hergestellt wird und wir durften auch kräftig mitarbeiten und selbst Hand anlegen😉 Danach gab's eine fantastische Jause mit unserem selbstgefertigtem Mozzarella/Burrata, leckerem Brot, Salami, Rotwein....einfach ein Traum und ein fantastisches Geschmackserlebnis. Kann ich zu 100% weiterempfehlen, Preis/Leistung absolut gerechtfertigt. Danke Marco für dieses Erlebnis!👍👍👍

    We were a three-generational family taking part in the tour/class, and Marco and Umberto did a fabulous job engaging all of us - from toddlers to grandparents. The tour of the farm was fun for the little ones; Marco was very knowledgeable and did a great job translating; Umberto was a skilled cheese maker and teacher; and the wine, cheese and meat tasting made for a perfect ending. We highly recommend this experience.

    Our family of three had an AMAZING experience learning to make pasta at Terra Che Vive! They were very welcoming, and we shared some laughs at our pasta mistakes and celebrated the moment each of us figured out how to make each type. The host spoke very good English and we only had to pull out Google Translate a couple times. Then the meals we ate after making the fresh pasta were out-of-this-world delicious. Ate al fresco with a glass of wine for Mom and Dad and a Fanta for our daughter. We had to rush through the meal, unfortunately (which was due to our poor planning, not theirs), because we wanted to eat each and every bite! Thank you to everyone for a great experience!

  • Fabulous morning spent learning to make mozzarella and buratta with TERRA Che VIVE food tasting tours in Puglia. Marco gave us a great tour of the beautiful farm which included seeing the animals followed by the cheese making class with Marco and Umberto. They made the experience both educational and entertaining and the end result was the most delicious cheese we have ever tasted. At the end of the class, students are treated to the cheese they made along with samples of other cheeses and meats. Highly recommend this activity in Puglia.

    Really enjoyed this tour of this historical olive grove. Lovely informative guide who is family member of the owners. It will definitely be worth visiting when they have completed the museum which is currently being developed. Brought home delicious olive oil!!
