gourmet in wonderland - Puglia for foodies
Puglia for foodies, a wine and food tasting safari
A luxury escorted gourmet tour of Puglia, to savour the finest wine and local food of southern Italy.
Gourmet in wonderland is not a processed holiday, there are not typical days and no single tour is identical to another. All tours are a distinctive collection of authentic experiences, lesser-known gastronomic gems, and culinary landmarks.
A luxury escorted wine and food tasting holiday to explore unspoiled Puglia through its culinary heritage. A marvelous combination of gastronomic excursions, gourmet meals, hands on cookery lessons & practical demonstrations of how the local recipes are handled enriched by guided tasting sessions of selected local product and fine local wine with our expert sommelier, chefs and confectioners. If you are not familiar with this region of Italy, this would be a unique opportunity to understand more about the olive harvest technique, the wine production and the local grapes, while touring the region, discovering its little fishing villages and unspoiled countryside, enjoying personalized and professional services with a perfect balance of free time to do your own thing, relaxation, sightseeing and shopping with lots of special places of interest selected for you, everything from private gardens to local artist studio and charming Masserie.
