Foodies are in for a treat with this farm tour, which gives you a glimpse at the unseen world of dairy farming and cheese-making. This family business has been going for four generations, and they have a unique perspective to share with you, as well as a tasting menu of cheeses, including mozzarella and burrata, along with other treats like cured meats, focaccia, and local wine.

True authenticity: experience a family-run masseria, far from mass tourism. Meet the master cheesemaker: discover the secrets of Apulian mozzarella from those who make it every day. Immersion in rural life: from the stable to the dairy, follow the entire production process. Unique natural setting: a masseria surrounded by the evocative oak forest. Tradition and innovation: observe artisanal techniques alongside modern technologies. Farm-to-table tasting: enjoy ultra-fresh products made directly at the masseria. Educational and sensory experience: discover the culture, history, and flavors of Apulia. Suitable for everyone: ideal for couples, families, and small groups.

Orecchiette is one of the most traditional specialties from Puglia, but you may not know the trick to make this unique ear-shaped pasta. With this small-group, countryside cooking class, learn how to turn out orecchiette like a true Italian nonna and discover other classic dishes made with seasonal herbs and vegetables grown in the Itria Valley. Celebrate your new skill with a multi-course meal featuring your freshly made pasta.

We'll show you how to make the perfect pasta: no machine, just your hands, with simple ingredients and lots of love. You will learn to create the perfect dough that gives life to a unique fresh pasta. If you have the curiosity and desire to discover a typical food of the Apulian gastronomic tradition, this is the right experience for you. Learn while having fun, and bring Puglia to the table!

Our studio is located in a fascinating cave, a space rich in history and atmosphere that has been adapted to house our contemporary art gallery. MENA FUECO offers a selection of funky and unusual ceramic works with a strong personality and an extraordinary story to tell. Works that deserve to be seen, artists who deserve to be known. MENA FUECO is the art of encounter. It stems from the impulse to celebrate the creative fire that vibrates within us. To indulge and share the demiurgic spirit that finds happiness by experimenting, assembling, playing with shapes, colours and materials. We want to tickle that part of each of us that has never quite ‘grown up’. That inner child who still makes us look at things with awe and wonder, whose eyes linger curiously over even the most minute details, and whose hands cannot resist exploring hitherto unknown textures and shapes.

Pizzica and Tarantella are a unique expression of the Puglia popular culture. This experience is not only the opportunity to learn the Puglia typical dance, in a charming setting to recreate the same atmosphere of distant and times: the trulli, the centuries-old olive trees and the countryside of the Murgia. Be and feel a "tarantata" for a day!
