    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!

  • Was a great orchard and enjoyed the tasting and visit to the old facility underground and learning how they used to do it hundreds of years ago. Was a rainy day so unfortunately didn't get to spend much time in the trees, but I think that would have been lovely! Very friendly owners.

    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!

    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!

  • We booked the Mozzarella tasting tour, and it exceeded our expectations. From the first contact with Marco until the very end of our experience, we felt we were in the hands of real professionals. Marco met us at the farm on time. We had some problems with luggage storate and Marco made sure they were handled before our tour started. He took us to different points of interest, including a demonstration of the making of various cheeses, stories about the farm history and more. The place itself is pleasant and relaxing, it also has some accomodation options we plan to try next time. During the demonstration we tasted amazing mozzarella and burrata, and later we also had other delicious items, including cured meats, wine and a dessert. The experience was pleasant, our 13 year old daughter loved to see the farm animals, which are kept in good welfare in health by people who really love what they do. Authentic, excellent experience, highly recommend Marco and the team.

    A wonderful way to spend a few hours! Marco is a fantastic, passionate local guide and his enthusiasm made the whole experience better for us. Highlights were cycling through the ancient olive groves and of course the oil tasting at the end. Thank you, Marco! Highly recommend.
