Overview of your Lecce tour:

Puglia and Basilicata can be considered the cradle of the Mediterranean diet, with a wine and olive oil tradition dating back from the Greek and Roman period (described by several latin writers as one of the best agricultural area in the entire Roman Empire). Being a wine and olive oil sommelier I can guide you to enjoy a wide range of wines and olive oil with an excellent value for money and made with indigenous and itnernational variety of olives and grapes (Negroamaro, Primitivo, Susumaniello, Nero di Troia, Aglianico, Malvasia, Bombino, Minutolo, Chardonnay, etc. ). All over this area there is a yummy choice of typical, PDO (Protected Denomination of Origin) products and Slow Food Presidia: cheeses (burrata, mozzarella, caciocavallo, etc. ); bakery products (almond biscuits, the bread and focaccia of Altamura and Matera) and pastry; pork meat and fish charcuterie; dry and fresh home made pasta; meat and seafood; healthy vegetables, legumes and fruits; artisanal chocolate and gelato.

Your Lecce tour itinerary

I can personalize the tour depending on your personal tastes, interests and diets: together with wine and food tastings it's possibile to visit the vineyards, the millennium old olive groves, the workshops (winery, brewery, olive oil mill, bakery, cheese farm, etc. ) to learn about the making process and to recognize an excellent extra virgin olive oil, to assist to the grape or olive harvesting. It's also possibile to experience a cooking class (typical cuisine, pastry, bread, panzerotti, etc. ); a stroll to the traditional vegetable and fish markets; a street food tasting; a fishing excursion; a truffle hunting; a visit to a wine (or a folk art and tradition) museum, to an ancient underground olive oil mill; a meal at trullo, a masseria (typical farmhouse) or at a restaurant overlooking the seaside. I can come direclty at your accommodation for a wine and evo tasting or, together with a personal chef, to prepare a meal with a food pairing menu.
