About this tour
A nine-hour private tour departing from Bari or Ostuni that combines three compelling stops across Puglia's interior. You'll explore Castel del Monte, the geometric 13th-century fortress, wander through the whitewashed maritime town of Trani, and taste four award-winning regional wines at a working winery. The route traces landscapes and winemaking practices that have shifted little over centuries, offering a measured look at how the region's character persists.
Highlights
- Castel del Monte: the octagonal Norman fortress with unobstructed views
- Trani's Romanesque cathedral and Adriatic harbour setting
- Four estate wines tasted at an operating vineyard
- Private transport with English-speaking guide throughout
- Optional lunch available (booked separately)
- Flat terrain suitable for all fitness levels
What to expect
Pick-up in the morning from your base in Bari or Ostuni. Your guide drives you inland to Castel del Monte, where you'll spend time studying the fortress's distinctive geometry and its hillside position. Then head towards Trani, a coastal town where the cathedral dominates the harborfront; you'll have time to walk its narrow streets and photograph the seafront. Mid-afternoon, arrive at the winery for a seated tasting of four wines with background on production methods. The day unfolds at an unhurried pace, mixing architecture, coastal scenery, and regional viticulture without rushing between locations.
Good to know
Lunch is not included but can be arranged for a separate fee. Wear comfortable walking shoes for cobblestone streets in Trani. The winery visit involves standing and moving between tasting areas. Casual dress appropriate; bring sunscreen and water. Prams, strollers, and infant seats available upon request.
