The culture, wine & cuisine of Southern Italy's Gem
SINCE OUR FIRST JOURNEY TO MYSTERIOUS PUGLIA, The Travel Club has discovered there’s even more to explore in this southern, sun-soaked province. Join us in “the real Italy” as we reveal the art, culture, tradition and cuisine of Puglia. From our home-base in Martina Franca—whose old quarter is a picturesque maze of winding alleys, blindingly white houses and blood-red geraniums, airy piazzas and curlicue ironwork balconies—we’ll start with a Puglia cuisine cooking lesson held in a traditional Trullo, and enjoy visits to Locorotondo, one of Puglia’s prettiest towns – and elegant Lecce - an “open air exhibition” of Baroque architecture. We’ve included lunch in a fishing village near Bari and a visit to seaside Polignano a Mare. Our last tour days include the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Trulli of Alberobello—the world-famous picturesque cone-shaped houses—lunch at a country agriturismo and a winery visit, an excursion to Matera—famous for its extensive rock dwellings—where we’ll have lunch in a “cave” restaurant. Explore the unique character and charm of this “mostly undiscovered” slice of Italian heaven!
