Discover the authentic flavors of Puglia with this hands-on cooking experience in a traditional masseria near Gioia del Colle.

Start by picking seasonal ingredients straight from the farm’s garden—tomatoes, herbs, vegetables—whatever nature offers that day. Then head to the rustic kitchen to cook your favorite Apulian dish from scratch:

Pasta: Learn to make traditional orecchiette or cavatelli by hand.

Panzerotti: Prepare and fry stuffed dough pockets filled with mozzarella and tomato.

Focaccia: Knead and bake Bari-style focaccia topped with cherry tomatoes and olives.

You’ll be guided by a local cook and immersed in the traditions of Apulian cuisine. After cooking, sit down for a light lunch under the olive trees, savoring the fruits of your labor with local wine and homemade bread.

This experience is suitable for morning or afternoon sessions and is perfect for couples, families, or food lovers looking to slow down and connect with the land—and the flavors—of southern Italy.
