OUR GUESTS’ WORDS

  • The mozzarella and burrata cheese demonstration was one of the highlights of our trip. Marco was incredibly patient with our toddler children and was extremely informative of the Masseria and cheese making process. The demonstration was excellent and we got to taste the cheese right after the demonstration and it was absolutely delicious. We then walked around the Masseria and saw the animals which the kids loved. Then while we had thought we already had the cheese tasting and thought the tour was over we sat down at a table for an incredible tasting of different cheese, cured meats, wine, bread and more. It was an amazing experience and one we would never forget. We would 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.

    We booked the private chef to cater a dinner for nine people at the villa we were staying at in Puglia. It was genuinely the highlight of our trip - the team was very friendly, professional and flexible, and the food was absolutely delicious. One of our party was gluten free, and it was no trouble at all. Would highly, highly recommend.

    This was an extremely enjoyable tour full of very interesting information given my Marco. The cheese was absolutely delicious and could not have been fresher! The area is beautiful and accommodation at the Masseria is also offered staying in the Trulli. They looked like a lovely place to stay. We opted for the tour followed by appetisers.....warning! This is like a FULL meal. There was so much food that we were unable to finish it. Everything was tasty! I would highly recommend to anyone considering taking this tour.

  • ביקרנו בהדרכתו של מרקו בחווה לא רחוק ממרטינה פרנקה. הוא נתן לנו סקירה על האזור ועל ההיסטוריה של המקום. ראינו איך מכינים מוצרלה ובוראטה. למדנו איך מכינים פסטה מקומית. לבסוף קיבלנו ארוחת טעימות של גבינות, נקניקים ויין. מרקו נחמד ואדיב. נהננו מאוד ואנחנו ממליצים בחום.

    Truly lovely, highly recommend. We visited with our two children and had an amazing time. Excellent tour with a knowledgeable and super friendly guide. You will meet ancient trees, the sweetest puppies (ok, they are very old and gentle but so cute), visit an ancient cave for olive oil transformation as well as have a delightful tasting with the owner who was truly a gem. N.B. The tour is booked with an agency and not directly through the people on site.

    It was a wonderful experience from start to finish! I wanted to book the tasting for a big group and Marco made it easy to coordinate. The winery itself was lovely and the wine was delicious. Thank you for everything! =)
