We booked the dairy farm tour and pasta making class as a group of six, including 4 adults and 2 children, aged 8 and 5. I was looking for an experience that the children could really get involved in and enjoy and this definitely fit the bill. The tour took place at a beautiful Masseria in the countryside near Martina Franca where we were greeted by Marco and first taken to a wildflower meadow while he explained a bit about the Masseria and what we would be doing that day and we got to take some photos. We then moved on to a tour of the dairy, where we saw the cheese being made and were given some to taste. It was very interesting (and delicious!) and one of the cheese makers even made the cheese into little animal shapes for the children's amusement! Next we had the opportunity to make and shape our own pasta, and were shown how to make several different shapes including orecchiette, cavatelli and more. We may not have been the most skilled at making the shapes but we all had lots of fun trying and the children loved this part of the experience, and with support we were all able to make some passable shapes in the end! We were then given our fresh pasta to take away and cook later on. After we had finished with the pasta, we were given a tour of the farm where we were able to meet the various animals, including the dairy cows, calves, donkeys, deer, ostriches, geese, dogs, cats and more. We were also shown the trulli on site, and there were a few pieces of play equipment for the children to enjoy too. We were told to take as long as we would like to explore and then come back to the masseria when we were ready for lunch. The lunch was both amazing and very generously portioned! There were several appetisers - meats, cheeses, bread, a tomato foccacia, some fried zucchini, some little meatballs, all delicious. This was followed by a pasta dish, and then a traditional dessert with pastry and cream, plus water, wine and coffee were included too. All of the staff were very friendly and pleasant. We really enjoyed the experience and would absolutely recommend it with or without children, though if you are looking for a tour like this to do with children I do think this is probably one of better ones to choose. The whole tour was very engaging and enjoyable, and Marco was on hand to help and explain things throughout. A great experience for our family.
Nicki EvansA great way to discover Puglia, Marco is very nice and responsive.
Elie MongeMarco and chef Davide gave a very warm welcome at Davide’s family trullo. Lots of interesting history. We learned about making bread, pasta in various traditional shapes and a simple but delicious sauce. Dinner was served using what we made with some additional traditional dishes from Davide’s kitchen. Washed down with delicious wines. Adults and kids all enjoyed the experience and eating our wonderful dinner.
charlotte leighA great host and a brilliantly informative, fun and interesting ride through the beautiful olive groves.
Dan BallFascinating tour - I learnt a lot!
Peter ChalwinThe 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!).
Valerie HowellMy husband and I just got back from a 3+ week trip to Italy, starting in Tuscany and ending in Puglia. During that time we saw amazing sites and had many, many unforgettable experiences but few, if any, will be as memorable as the time we spent with Marco and Umberto at a dairy farm outside Martina Franca where we learned about and participated in the mozzarella and burrata cheese-making process. Marco, the owner of Terra Che Vive but also our guide during this experience, could not have been more knowledgeable or enthusiastic, and Umberto, the master cheese-maker, could not have been more welcoming. The whole adventure, including the cheese "tasting" (WAY more than a tasting) of the cheeses we helped make, along with meats and wine, was unequivocally great. When in Puglia, do this!
Carol SwetowAn absolutely wonderful experience!
Penny CarverTrough Terra Che Vive we booked the ''Dairyman for a day: mozzarella and burrata making class'' It was a great experience and well guided by Marco. All steps within the process are shown whereafter you can try it yourself. The tasting afterwards is good and abundant.
