About this trip
Puglia: Extraordinary Wine, Whitewashed Towns & the Italian Table
Spend nine unhurried days in Italy's sun-drenched heel on this boutique small-group journey, limited to just 10–18 guests. From a sea-view hotel on Bari's promenade to a storied Masseria among the olive groves, you'll live Puglia like an insider. Wander the cone-roofed streets of Alberobello, the baroque grandeur of Lecce, and hilltop-white Ostuni. Shape orecchiette in a hands-on cooking class, descend into the Castellana Caves, and stand before mighty Castel del Monte. Above all, you'll taste: five celebrated wineries, golden estate olive oil, custard-filled pasticciotto, and long farm-to-table dinners paired with local vintages. Guided by an expert Italian tour manager throughout, this is Puglia savored slowly, authentically, and beautifully. Arrivederci to the ordinary.
