Take part in this rare opportunity to experience Puglia’s traditional harvesting practices in the company of expert guides. During the fall harvest season, the organic, family-run olive farms of Puglia welcome you, where you’ll learn how master olive oil producers combine respect for the land and passion for their craft with the best processing methods to create some of the world’s finest oil. Participate in all parts of production, from harvesting and milling to pressing and bottling. The best part? Learning how to taste olive oil and discovering how climate, soil, varietals and processing methods contribute to unique flavor profiles.

During the springtime, these same organic farms entice you to try your hand at cheese making. Discover how and why the local Caciocavallo Podolico cheese is hand-formed into pear-shaped rounds, as well as a unique aging process that is fueled by a fire consisting of olive tree wood. Now you too can learn how to make one of the world’s most desired gourmet cheeses right here in Puglia.

This weeklong tour includes a stay in one of Puglia’s traditional Masserias, or farm estates, where you’ll be fully immersed in the region’s dreamy countryside. Throughout the week you can take part in cooking classes with local chefs, visit the farms where our “Adopt a Cow and “Adopt a Beehive” products are produced, tour neighboring seaside towns and visit local wineries. You’ll leave with a deeper knowledge and newfound respect for this culinary Mediterranean paradise.
