  • Brilliant experience!! Everything was great from the communication to tasting of all the different cheeses at the end. Really enjoyed learning how to make the cheese and Marco was excellent.

    The whole experience of visiting the dairy farm was really special and fun. Marco was very kind and provided us with lots of pieces of information about the farm and more. Highly recommend to anyone who would like a little delicious taste of Puglia!

    עשינו סיור בחווה. הסבר על ההיסטוריה ועל חיי החווה היום ובעבר. המקום יפה ומקסים מסביב. המדריך מסביר בבהירות, ועונה על השאלות. כמו כן ראינו איך מכינים את סוגי המוצרלה והגבינות הקשורות ואז טעמנו (מוצרלה קשורה , כדורי מוצרלה, בוראטה, ספצליאטה). בקיצור מומלץ בחום.

    Myself and 3 others booked a tour and lunch with Terra Che Vive. It stands out as one of my favourite activities our our trip to Italy. The communication with the establishment was excellent and food requests were honoured. The actual day was spectacular - we enjoyed the small group experience and the beautiful landscape. Our guide was engaging, knowledgeable and friendly. I can't say enough about the lunch - it surpassed all of our expectations both in terms of variety, presentation, and taste. I would certainly recommend this tour to anyone looking for an "away from the maddening crowds" experience and what that reflects the true southern Italian culture. Thank you all.

    It was a brilliant experience to join the Burrata cheese making workshop. Marco showed us around their farm and explain how they take care of animals there. It was one of my dream to learn burrata making but we could not book earlier because of many other appointments but he accepted us even one day before the workshop. The cheese tasted really good with wine and assorted salami! Thank you!

  • We had a fabulous time at our cooking class in Locorontondo. Communication and booking was very easy and our hosts for the cooking class were lovely. A great way to experience local food. Would definitely recommend and would definitely do another experience next time we visit Puglia!

    Highly recommended to visit the mozzarella farm. Marco is a super nice guide and he shows you exactly how the cheeses are made. We also got a nice tour of the farm and finally we had a delicious lunch. It's definitely worth the money.

    We were a family of four with ages ranging from 11-77 and we all loved the Cheese Making experience! It was totally different from anything we'd done before but everyone left happy. (And very full, between all of the cheese tasting and then lunch!) Our guide and cheese maker were both very friendly and knowledgeable. I highly recommend!
