    This was a delightful private wine tasting experience for my wife and I. Marco has a great set up going to produce his organic wine and we enjoyed learning how it was all made. The tasting was delicious and we were given plenty of time to relax and enjoy the options with some good nibbles to accompany. We were staying in Ostuni. Round trip taxi set us back 70 euros, which was worth it so we could both indulge appropriately.

  • We had such a wonderful time learning about how burrata and other cheeses were made. Our 3 children loved the experience and were all able to participate (ages 5 to 14). Taste testing was the best part! Would love to try another experience next time we are in Italy!

    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!

    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!

    My husband and I really enjoyed the 90 minute olive oil tasting! Our guide was very passionate and provided a lot of information. She also spoke English to accommodate us. The owners were so hospitable and friendly also. Their olive oil is delicious and organic. We bought three bottles!
