An excellent trip. The pace of the trip is perfect. A week flew by and we felt we had been all over the Puglia region. So much to do and see in such a short space of time and yet we managed to relax and get some free time in too. The food was outstanding, the wine was delightful, the people were a pleasure to be around. Every stage of the trip was enjoyable and slightly different.

The entire tour was an incredible experience. Every stop was filled with history, culture, architecture and always a culinary jackpot. A few of the many favorites are the Prosecco vineyard visit with a pasta making class instructed by an authentic Nona. The entire group prepared the pasta from scratch and then enjoyed the fruits our labors for dinner. We also had a wonderful evening at the home of an Italian Noble. Although they no longer hold titles, the home or estate had been in the family for over 500 years. Jacopo Shared his families history that dates back over 1000 years. After filling our minds either knowledge and eyes with amazing artwork and design, we were served one of the best meals in life. In short, this experience has me wanting to return to Italy so that I can continue the experience into other areas and maybe just stay forever.
