OUR GUESTS’ WORDS

  • This was a delightful private wine tasting experience for my wife and I. Marco has a great set up going to produce his organic wine and we enjoyed learning how it was all made. The tasting was delicious and we were given plenty of time to relax and enjoy the options with some good nibbles to accompany. We were staying in Ostuni. Round trip taxi set us back 70 euros, which was worth it so we could both indulge appropriately.

    We were a three-generational family taking part in the tour/class, and Marco and Umberto did a fabulous job engaging all of us - from toddlers to grandparents. The tour of the farm was fun for the little ones; Marco was very knowledgeable and did a great job translating; Umberto was a skilled cheese maker and teacher; and the wine, cheese and meat tasting made for a perfect ending. We highly recommend this experience.

    We attended the pasta making course which included a visit to the cheese factory and farm. The day was an absolute delight and we will certainly be booking another experience with Marco the next time we visit Puglia. Marco knew so much about the history of the area and was such a great host. The workers at the farm were extremely friendly and the food afterwards was delicious. Absolutely recommend this experience. It's these sort of things you remember. Thanks Marco.

    We organised Terra che Vive to come to our villa and run a pasta making class, then have them cook our party of 12 dinner. This was such an amazing experience! They were well organised bringing all required equipment and arrived with 3 staff who were professional and friendly all evening. The food and level of service was incredible. Highly recommend.

  • Amazing pasta making course from an Italian grandmother. Marco was really responsive and provided clear information and background information. The experience was small scale and authentic. Definitely recommend.

    Merece la pena si vas con niños porque la mayor parte del tiempo están viendo animales. Los señores que hacen la mozarella son fantásticos, pero solo dura 15min realmente.
