OUR GUESTS’ WORDS

  • Marco and Umberto were incredible hosts. From start to finish they made us feel welcome. We toured the farm, Marco shared the rich history of the farm and the land surrounding, Umberto walked us through the entire process of mozzarella and burrata cheese making, and we finished off the day with a delightful spread of meats, cheeses, and wines. We thoroughly enjoyed our time and would highly recommend the experience to anyone.

    We did Dairy an for a day. It was phenomenal. Marco showed us the farm (wear appropriate shoes as it's a farm). Then we went inside and with the help of cheese maker and artisan Umberto plus translation from Marco we made mozza, Burrata and watched Umberto craft Fior di latte cheese. It was so much fun and we learned a lot. Plus we got to eat our cheeses and some charcuterie. There was so much we had takeaway too. A great day, great experience, completely authentic, great value and one of the trip highlights. We wished we had taken more experiences from this company. I am definitely referring my friends.

  • 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!

    Superbe expérience à la Masseria Pianelle! Nous avons choisi le cours pour apprendre à faire la mozzarella/burrata. Marco, Umberto et Francesco sont une équipe très sympa. Le tour se termine par une dégustation des produits de la ferme qui sont délicieux. Je recommande vivement! Great experience in La Masseria Pianelle! We did mozzarella/burrata tour. Marco, Umberto y Francesco are a friendly team. We ended by a tasting of fresh produce from the farm, it was delicious. I highly recommend!

  • We had an amazing experience during our olive oil tasting and tour of Savoia! The owner provided us with meaningful historical information about the property, the centuries old cave where olive oil was produced in the past, and showed us a 900 year old olive tree. It was very clear the love this family has for their craft. The oil itself was remarkable and we really enjoyed tasting the different types they produce. Would absolutely recommend!

    Anbefales på det varmeste! Unik opplevelse på en liten gård i nærheten av Locorotondo. Vi lærte å lage pasta (orrechiette, strascinate og cavatelli) av nonna Fransesca. Marco forklarte underveis og supplerte med mye kunnskap om pastalaging, om Puglia generelt, etc. Avsluttet med et deilig måltid med både egenlaget pasta og lokale spesialiteter. Både vi foreldre og de tre tenåringene storkoste seg.
