OUR GUESTS’ WORDS

  • Thank you for this beautiful experience, we did the activity of cooking pasta at the Masseria Don Agostino and the family is lovely, we really enjoyed the activity and learning about this cooking art. We recommend the experience to everyone. And then we had the opportunity to eat the pasta we prepared!

    My husband and I just got back from a 3+ week trip to Italy, starting in Tuscany and ending in Puglia. During that time we saw amazing sites and had many, many unforgettable experiences but few, if any, will be as memorable as the time we spent with Marco and Umberto at a dairy farm outside Martina Franca where we learned about and participated in the mozzarella and burrata cheese-making process. Marco, the owner of Terra Che Vive but also our guide during this experience, could not have been more knowledgeable or enthusiastic, and Umberto, the master cheese-maker, could not have been more welcoming. The whole adventure, including the cheese "tasting" (WAY more than a tasting) of the cheeses we helped make, along with meats and wine, was unequivocally great. When in Puglia, do this!

    Rosaria is an excellent and passionate guide! As owner, she feels and breaths the passion for perfect olive oil. She gave us extra time to answer our questions and even a small souvenir. I will recommend it 100%. Thanks, Rosaria!

  • My wife and I had an amazing time during the tour, cheese-making, and cheese-eating. Marco was an amazing guide, as he walked us through the history of the location, the cheese-making processes, and answered any questions we had. Our time cheese-making with Umberto was easy and fun! We enjoyed the private nature of the tour, and ended our time with a private meal, both with the cheeses we made, and cured meats (and of course some wine). I highly recommend this tour. The entire experience is very much worth the cost.

    During our stay in Puglia, we enjoyed a wonderful wine tasting and olive oil tour through Terra Che Vive. Both were fantastic! Marco was very responsive and thorough in organizing the events, and the experiences themselves were extraordinary. Neither tour felt "canned" or touristy. They were authentic, informative, and very enjoyable!
