WINE AND FOOD TOUR AMONG
MASSERIA AND WINERIES:
OLIVE OIL, COLD CUTS
AND CHEESES, WINE
Today is dedicated to food and wine at
masseria. The Masseria is one of the emblems
of Puglia and today you’ll admire
some of the most beautiful ever.
In the past, they were sighting places to
protect the coast. Over the years, the masserias
turned themselves into independent
agricultural production centres and then
into amazing welcoming facilities for travellers
from around the world.
After breakfast, you will reach by shuttle
service the first Masseria, immersed into
the luxuriant expanse of centuries-old olive
trees. This Masseria has always been a
noble residence.
Here the theme is the extra-virgin olive oil.
The tour begins with the visit to the Masseria
followed by the tasting of locally
produced organic olive oils to learn how
to recognize the original extra-virgin one.
The visit to the century-old olive grove will
make everything even more suggestive.
At lunchtime, you’ll move to a restaurant
located in another splendid Masseria
where several generations lived and
worked with passion and dedication. Today,
it is a place where you can taste real
excellences of the local gastronomy.
There is a great attention to the quality
of raw materials at 0 km and to their authenticity.
Homemade pasta, mozzarella,
cheeses and cold cuts of the masseria, the
meat produced in the same masseria or in
the neighbour farms will make you live a
highest tasting experience.
After lunch, as last stop, a famous Apulian
winery where together with the owners
you’ll visit the vineyard, listening the anecdotes
handed down from generation to
generation. Then, tastings of several wines
produced here, accompanied by some
typical products. At the end of the tasting,
you will return to the facility in Monopoli.
