OUR GUESTS’ WORDS

  • 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!

    We had a wonderful pasta making class and lunch at Trulli Anna. We learned to make a variety of pasta shapes and were then treated to a delicious lunch with local foods. Marco, Anna, Francesca and staff were very welcoming and accommodating. Highly recommend.

  • Marco was able to book us on very short notice. We had a wonderful time learning about the ancient olive groves and olive oil making processes old and new. The tasting was also very educational and tasty! This was one of the highlights of our trip.

    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!

    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.

    I have visited the burrata and monzarella making class and it was a great experience. We went through every step of the proces and the result was great. One of the best Burrata I have tasted.
