Tour Description

Led by your private professional chef, this hands-on experience will introduce you to the authentic flavors, techniques, and traditions of Southern Italian cooking.

Using fresh, local, and seasonal ingredients, you’ll learn how to prepare classic regional dishes while discovering the secrets behind Apulia’s famous food culture.

Tour Highlights

Before the cooking class begins, you’ll be welcomed with a glass of local wine, enjoyed outdoors among centuries-old olive trees and the iconic trulli — the traditional stone dwellings that make this region so unique.

This serene rural setting, in the heart of the Apulian countryside, reflects the timeless charm of Puglia, where nature, tradition, and warm hospitality come together in perfect harmony.

What You’ll Prepare Together

Together with your private professional chef, you’ll begin by preparing traditional Apulian bread, learning the secrets behind its unmistakable aroma, rustic crust, and soft, airy interior.

Next comes the heart of the experience: the art of handmade fresh pasta. You’ll discover the essential ingredients, master the technique of hand-kneading, and shape the dough into:

Orecchiette
Cavatelli
Strascinati

These are the most iconic pasta varieties of Puglia, passed down through generations.

Using the pasta you’ve created yourself, you’ll prepare a traditional first course, paired with fresh, seasonal ingredients grown and produced directly at the masseria, just as local families have always done.

Finally, you’ll sit down to enjoy the dishes you’ve prepared, accompanied by a selection of traditional Apulian specialties, local wine, and farmhouse products.
