About this tour
Sit down for dinner in Monopoli with a local host who cooks exclusively plant-based, using vegetables and olive oil grown on their property. Over three hours, you'll work through a carefully considered menu built entirely from what comes out of their garden. It's a straightforward evening around a shared table with other diners—no theatre, just good food and conversation rooted in what grows nearby.

What to expect
You'll arrive at the venue and settle in with a handful of other guests. The cook will present dishes built around whatever's seasonal in their garden—expect simple preparations that let the quality of ingredients speak for themselves. Courses unfold at a leisurely pace, paired with wines. Conversation tends to flow naturally; this isn't a performance, but rather a chance to eat well and chat with the people around the table. By the end of three hours, you'll have eaten thoroughly and picked up genuine insight into how local cooks think about food.
Good to know
Tell the host about any allergies or dietary needs before you arrive. Public transport runs nearby if you need it. No special fitness required—just appetite and a willingness to sit for a few hours. Bring a reasonable appetite; courses keep coming.
