Puglia Luxury Wine Tour

8 days 7 nights

• Visit the unspoiled Puglia region with its most amazing wineries, its great food&wines, feeling the locals' warmth..

Knee-deep in Puglia

5 days 4 nights

• Highlights on this wonderful Region, through its uniques landascapes, food, culture, traditions and people...

Apulia is full of good restaurants of every type, but the best eating in the region may be found in the superb “trattorias” and casual restaurants with which virtually every town is populated, often in places where you least expect to find that ideal mix of unbelievably good simple food, enchanting surroundings, and good wine.

Some example of the most interesting offering are: “orecchiette”, (little ears) the typical pasta of this region manually made with hard flour and water, pressed with a thumb to resemble little ears that catch and hold the pasta sauce; “ricci” (sea urchins) savoured raw, flavoured with a squeeze of lemon to underscore their briny flavour; “turcinieddhi” (offal) prepared with lamb's hearts, lights and intestines, skewered and cooked on a blazing grill, then eaten with raw celery and sharp sheep's milk cheese; “burrata”, (buttered) a small wet ball of cow's milk fresh mozzarella, filled with diced mozzarella soaked in cream; “ricotta forte” is a spicy sheep's milk ricotta (aged for a month), “scamorza”, a mild creamy cheeses that hang in ball and pear shapes in cheese shops; “polpi arriciati” (curled octopus).

Flavors of Puglia is a culinary trip that will let you experience delicious and amazing tastings (wines, oilve oil, cheese, bread, meat, ice-cream), hands-on cooking class, local markets visits, always having meals based on traditional puglia recipes.
