OUR GUESTS’ WORDS


  • Ho trovato l'esperienza della visita in masseria con la preparazione dei prodotti caseari tipici molto coinvolgente. Una nota di elogio va alla guida Marco così come ad Umberto, che con pazienza e simpatia ci hanno mostrato dettagliatamente tutte le fasi della produzione casearia. Ottima la successiva degustazione dei salumi e latticini.

    Loved it! We did a fantastic cheese making morning lead by Marco with cheese maker Umberto. We only speak English, which I thought might be a bit challenging in regional Italy, but Marco was awesome and made us feel comfortable right away. The knowledge they imparted, hands on learning and good communication was very memorable. If we hadn’t done the class on our last day in Puglia I would have booked more!

    We enjoyed 2 fantastic local experiences whilst on holiday in Puglia. After contacting Terra Che Vive by email, Marco was super helpful in organising an olive oil tasting and tour, as well as an authentic private pasta making class. Both experiences were in beautiful settings with very friendly and informative guides/cooks. Terra Che Vive really helped to provide the absolute highlights of our time in the region.

  • We had a wonderful time doing the pasta making class with Marco and la signora Francesca! Such a beautiful location and what great people to teach us to make traditional Pugliese pasta. This was the highlight of our time in Puglia! We haven't stopped talking about the delicious lunch that followed the experience! Complimenti! Grazie mille!

    Me and my boyfriend attended the cooking class with Clelia and Raffaella and it was a really lovely experience. We did a private class and it was such a relaxed environment. Sometimes it can feel a bit unpleasant entering someone's home, but we felt welcomed from the first minute. Thank you ladies for a great time and helpful tricks we learnt :) We already made focaccia for our friends back home and they loved it! :)

    Totally loved the olive oil tasting experience. Rosaria, our tour guide was so knowledgeable and informative about the entire process and the types of olive oil. The tour was so thorough. Would highly recommend this to anyone traveling to Bari and surrounding area.

    We had a great vineyard tour and wine tasting experience with Marco! He explained their wine making process and then we had a tasting with some delicious local appetizers. He also was very knowledgeable and welcoming.
