Tour Overview
An eight-day tour through Puglia and Basilicata offers the perfect blend of wine, food, and relaxation for an unforgettable experience. These regions, steeped in history and tradition, present a harmonious mix of natural beauty, cultural heritage, and culinary delights, inviting you to discover their many souls. Apulia: The Enchanting Heel of Italy Also known as "Le Puglie," this region captures multiple souls within its boundaries. Apulia, the historical spur of the Italian Boot, stretches lengthwise along the Adriatic and Ionian Seas, offering a landscape suspended between nature and history. It is a region that can be explored all year round, brimming with prehistoric settlements, the grandeur of Magna Graecia, the Imperial Age, and the Renaissance. Visitors will marvel at its Baroque splendor, particularly in Lecce and Salento. Another unmissable destination is Castel del Monte in Andria, a masterpiece of medieval architecture commissioned by Frederick II of Hohenstaufen in the 13th century. Its octagonal design reflects both mathematical precision and symbolic significance, with eight sides, eight towers, and eight rooms on each floor—an embodiment of perfection. Apulian Cuisine: Simplicity and Flavor Apulian cuisine is a triumph of simplicity. Defined as "cucina povera," it celebrates humble yet abundant ingredients such as durum wheat, fresh vegetables, and olive oil. These elements come together to create authentic dishes bursting with flavor. An image, a sound, a flavor—an instant can awaken a symphony of memories, emotions, and traditions. In Apulia, five distinct wine territories weave tales of ancient vines and sun-soaked landscapes. Rooted in native grape varieties like Primitivo and Negroamaro, these wines are bold, expressive, and alive with the spirit of the land. Each glass carries centuries of tradition, the artistry of passionate winemakers, and the essence of Apulia’s untamed beauty. Here, wine is more than a drink. It is a connection—to the soul of the land, to the people who have shaped it, and to the stories whispered on every breeze that rolls through the vineyards. On our exclusive eight-day tour of Puglia and Basilicata, an expert guide and sommelier will accompany you through the most captivating sights and flavors of these enchanting regions. From the iconic trulli of Alberobello to the aromatic vineyards producing Apulia's prized wines, every day promises discovery, indulgence, and beauty. Explore Apulia’s historical treasures, savor its simple yet exquisite cuisine, and experience the unparalleled flavors of its wines. Discover the magic of Apulia and Basilicata—a journey through the heart of southern Italy where history, culture, and flavors come together to create memories that will last a lifetime.
