    Outstanding experience! Marco is an amazing guide. The Farmhouse tour was incredible and only topped by the multi-course lunch served after the pasta making, cheese making, touring the property, learning the history of the region, and bonding with the farm animals. Great experience and highly recommended.

  • Very well organised tour of a small working farm in the heart of the Trulli area (some of the farm building are themselves Trulli). Marco was an excellent organiser and host. He greeted everyone who arrived at the farm for the group tour, then provided an interesting tour of the farm detailing the history of the local area, the farm itself, and the Trulli. The farm highlight was the cheese making, performed by highly experienced local workers who made it in front of the group by hand. Eating the freshly made, still warm burrata & pure mozzarella was quite different from the store bought refrigerated experience. The finale was lunch provided by the farm (served with a good amount of wine). The cold cuts of meat and cheese were the highlight of the meal. We opted for the option which included a seasonal first course which was probably too much food in the end due to the heat, but depends on your appetite. Overall a stellar tour, and top marks for Marco as the guide.

    Loved it! We did a fantastic cheese making morning lead by Marco with cheese maker Umberto. We only speak English, which I thought might be a bit challenging in regional Italy, but Marco was awesome and made us feel comfortable right away. The knowledge they imparted, hands on learning and good communication was very memorable. If we hadn’t done the class on our last day in Puglia I would have booked more!

  • 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!

    Beautiful location and accurate explanation about the olive oil production. Rosaria and Giorgio gave us a very warm welcoming and, cherry on top, the olive oil testing was a fun and interesting 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.
