    Great authentic experience at a dairy farm doing the cheese maker for a day private tour. Learned a lot about the process and made some delicious cheese. A very memorable day, highlight of our trip to Italy! At the end we had a huge spread of cheese we made, some other cheese they make on the farm, wine, bread, bruschetta, and cured meats.

    We did the pasta making class followed by lunch at Masseria Pupino and hosted by Gaetano. This experience was an absolute highlight of our time in Italy. Gaetano was the perfect host. He knew ahead of time that my wife was pregnant and went to great lengths to ensure that all the food was suitable for her. Gaetano's masseria was beautiful and he allowed us to look around the grounds where he was growing fresh vegetables, grapes etc. The pasta making took place within the main building and we made 3 different shapes of pasta. What followed was an incredible meal made up of local Puglia dishes using local ingredients, all prepared by Gaetano who explained each dish to us. This was the best food we had whilst in Italy for 3 weeks, it really was beautiful. Gaetano was superb company and I would recommend this experience to anybody visiting the area. Thank you!

    The whole crew of 3 was so amazing! I can't remember everyone's names, but Pia and her daughter and I think Marco were all so kind and accommodating. Everyone enjoyed the class. Definitely suitable to beginners and novice cooks. Next time for our group I would maybe ask for something more challenging or to have us do every single step of the process with them, but it was the perfect amount of work for while drinking & just enjoying our vacation. They even let my baby participate :) The end result was so delicious as was the wine made by Pia's brother. Wish I could have brought that wine home!

    We loved our Olive oil tour and tasting. One of the highlights of our trip was going underground into the olive oil press, so fascinating, well recommended.
