OUR GUESTS’ WORDS

  • Great experience. I asked if we can tailor a class for my toddler and they did a great job. I highly recommend the cooking class with Gaetano. I couldn't give Gaetano enough praises for how fun and enjoyable he made the experience.

    We have an amazing time on our tasting at Terra Che Vive. Marco, the vineyard owner, gave us a great tour of his vineyards and facility as well as a wine tasting with a mix of amazing appetizers. He is a fifth generation winemaker with a wealth of knowledge on winemaking and the puglia region, and a great sense of humor. I would definitely recommend visiting the vineyard when staying in the Ostuni area. Grazie mille Marco!

    Really loved our private chef evening to celebrate as a family. Everything was delicious (especially the sausage and mushroom cavatelli) and the service was beautiful! We didnt have to do anything on the day, just relax and enjoy the food.

  • Fabulous experience you should not miss. We made bread and learned how to make pasta in different shapes. Then made the best pasta sauce I have ever eaten to go with the pasta we made. Eggplant parmesan to die for!! Plus, we toured the Trulias on the property. Hospitality of Marco and Davida was exceptional!! Don’t miss this experience!!

    An absolutely wonderful experience! Our Italian host, Marco, was well spoken and beautifully informed. We have never thought of doing cheese making, however, this will be long remembered. Cheese makers, Umberto and Francesco, were delightful and made us feel “part of the team”. They encouraged us to be fully involved (with our hands) in every step. Our labors were rewarded with delicious cheeses to eat! Lunch also included local meats! A tremendous event!! Highly recommended!!!

    Really enjoyed this tour of this historical olive grove. Lovely informative guide who is family member of the owners. It will definitely be worth visiting when they have completed the museum which is currently being developed. Brought home delicious olive oil!!

  • We were a group of five and chose a fresh pasta course. The place was very authentic and comfortable. Nonna Francesca and Marco were very kind and hospitable, they explained every step and made us feel at home! I highly recommend this experience if you really want to feel Puglia in every way.

    We had amazing time with Rafaela and Clelia. Learning how to make Focaccia and Orecchiette was so easy and flawless. They are super nice, communication was smooth, they paid attention to each of us guiding us how to get the best Orecchiette. And lunch was delicious. We had the best burrata even, made same day by local artisans. Got some insights on one to to in the city and left home with their ‘secret recipes’ so we can cook the best pastas at home as well. Trusted source :)! Tried alone at home the recipes and went perfectly fine! Will definitely try it again when will come back and share with our friends as well! Grazie!!

    Located within the walls of a traditional Trulli home, we enjoyed the wine tasting which was accompanied by several local cheeses, various sausages and homemade preserves presented by the owner couple. The tour included a look at the wine making premises and operations and a very informative presentation of the area wines by the proprietor, Marcus, himself. Highly recommend this opportunity!
