The Apulian territory represents one of the best locations for wine tourism enthusiasts. It is no coincidence that tasting local wine in Puglia is one of the experiences not to be missed during a stay or holiday in this region. Here, it is in fact possible to experience completely unique emotions, eno-sensorial journeys to discover the flavours and typical gastronomic characters of Puglia which is expressed in its many facets. Large green spaces in contrast with plains with a semi-desert charm, the iconic hill villages with their characteristic white plaster, the baroque architecture of Lecce (known as the “Florence of the South“), Alberobello and the Valle d’Itria which offer the uniqueness of the Trulli, hundreds of kilometres of Mediterranean coast. It is in this scenario that – within centuries-old farms – cellars and wineries, it is possible to immerse yourself in the flavours and colours of tradition with a tasting of local wine in Puglia.

How local wine tasting tours work with Terrachevive
As mentioned, we have focused our food and wine proposal by converging the authenticity of the locations and the quality of the wine products. Our main aim is to introduce the customer to a completely unique eno-sensorial experience. Guests are always welcomed by dedicated staff within the facilities that host the wine visits. Thanks to our typical Italian warmth, we manage to “make you feel at home” in just a few minutes. After the presentation phase, the guided tour of the company begins which generally includes a walk in the vineyard, during which the local vines grown are presented. Following, the entire production process of Apulian wine is described, which starts from the ancient peasant rite of the harvest (still done by hand in some areas) to arrive at the bottling and labelling phase.
Those stages are itinerant and develop within the company, in places specifically dedicated to the various production phases. The visits always end with a guided tasting session of the local wines produced within the company, often paired with typical products such as cured meats, cheeses, bread and Taralli, olives. Upon request, it is obviously possible to adapt the tastings to the specific needs of the visitor or visitors (for example, both open tours and private local wine tasting experiences are available upon specific request). The tours offered by Terrachevive.com are all available in Italian and English.
