Top Bari Art & Culture Classes

Pair a walking tour of Bari with a cooking class on this two-in-one, small-group tour. With a guide, you’ll make your way around the enticing Old Town lanes, discovering landmarks such as the Basilica of St. Nicholas and hearing the city’s history. After a visit to the city’s waterfront, you’ll visit the home of a Bari resident to make fresh pasta and enjoy it alongside local wine.

It’s easy to get lost exploring Bari’s maze-like old town and lesser-known neighborhoods if you visit independently. Cover much more distance than walking and stay on track on a bike tour, and listen to your guide’s insight into the city’s heritage. Take in beautiful seaside views and stop for a tasting of delicious handmade ice cream.

Step into the heart of rural Puglia with a unique workshop at a traditional masseria in Laterza. Begin with a warm welcome and a tasting of fresh donkey milk with handmade biscuits, before joining local experts to discover the secrets of donkey milk soap. Roll up your sleeves to create your own natural bar, learning about an ancient craft still treasured today. After the workshop, explore the farm, meet the donkeys and other animals, and experience the authentic rhythm of countryside life. The day ends with a tasting of local specialties: choose between a simple frisella paired with wine or a more complete light lunch featuring taralli, legume soup, cheeses, focaccia, and a glass of craft beer or wine. For a stress-free experience, select the private transfer option from Matera and enjoy hotel pick-up and drop-off in a comfortable minivan. An unforgettable blend of tradition, flavor, and creativity in the heart of Puglia.

Experience an authentic hands-on Italian cooking class in Bari during this small-group experience. Learn how to make pasta from start to finish using the proper ingredients and techniques.
