OUR GUESTS’ WORDS

  • It was so amazing, we had the best time with davide and francesco, who were both so patient with some of our not-so-talented chefs. The meal itself was delicious, we were with people from Venice and Milan, and they loved the meal so much. The sausage mushroom cherry tomato sauce was beyond my wildest dreams.

    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!

    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.

  • We had such a wonderful time learning about how burrata and other cheeses were made. Our 3 children loved the experience and were all able to participate (ages 5 to 14). Taste testing was the best part! Would love to try another experience next time we are in Italy!

    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.

    The farm tour and cheese tasting were wonderful! We loved learning about the history of the farm, local area and the art of cheese making. Our children had a great time, and we all agreed it was the best mozzarella and burrata we have ever had. We also enjoyed lunch at the farm restaurant after the tour and all of the food was delicious (warning, portions are generous so come hungry!).

  • 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.

    My husband and I had a very relaxed and chatty 4 hours with Gaetano on his lovely farm on the outskirts of Martina Franca, where we learnt to make 3 types of pasta shapes. Lunch was kindly prepared by him with produce from his land and a nearby market, and a very decent Susumaniello rose supplied by a schoolfriend's local vineyard. Our orecchiette in a delicious homemade tomato passata of course was the highlight of the meal. We felt quite at ease with Gaetano and spent a lovely half a day asking him about the area, his family and all those questions buzzing around your head when you visit a new part of the world. I would thoroughly recommend this tour.
