About this tour
Spend three hours in a traditional Apulian masseria learning to prepare regional specialities alongside a skilled cook. This experience includes a round-trip transfer from Alberobello, so you'll arrive ready to work with fresh ingredients and local techniques. You'll cook, eat what you've made, and leave with genuine skills rather than tourist recipes. The setting is an authentic stone farmhouse, and the whole package—transport, instruction, and lunch—keeps things straightforward.
Highlights

What to expect
You'll be collected from Alberobello in a climate-controlled car and driven to the masseria. Upon arrival, the cook will walk you through preparing two or three signature Apulian dishes—think handmade pasta, seasonal vegetables, local proteins—depending on what's in season. Expect to get your hands dirty: mixing, kneading, chopping. Mid-way or at the end, you'll sit down to eat what you've cooked, paired with local wine or water. The whole thing runs about three hours, including travel time. It's relaxed rather than rushed, and the cook will explain the 'why' behind each step, not just the 'how'.
Good to know
Wear comfortable clothes you don't mind staining. Children under five can come along; prams are fine. The minimum group size is two adults, so book accordingly. Public transport runs near the masseria if you prefer independent travel instead of the transfer.
