Our time together will be punctuated by several excursions and activities that will help us get to know this region and its culinary, cultural and market scene better. I want to introduce you to the people, places and activities that made me fall in love with this intriguing part of Italy.
• A visit to the Ostuni antique market; one of Puglia’s largest antique markets located in the historical centre of the white city.
• One “Taste of Puglia” Cooking Lesson at our host Masseria. Focusing on 0km foods and Puglia’s culinary tradition, this is going to be a real treat!
• A spa visit to a beautiful Masseria where each guest will have two hours to enjoy the sauna, hammam, hydro therapy tub. and Scottish shower. Additional services, such as massage, can be purchased a la carte, as available.
• A tour of one of the most historic ceramic studios in Grotteglie, where we will learn how the artisans make and decorate their signature pieces. After the tour, we will spend the morning in the city enjoying the shops and studios that fill it’s artisinal core, followed by a group lunch.
• A visit to the Lecce weekly market, filled with food, clothing, and housewares. (For those who have been to the weekly market in Siena, this is Lecce’s version with similar types of sellers.)
• A foraging and focaccia culinary lesson at a historical Masseria where you will be entranced by the beauty and creativity of the chatelains of the property.
