Enjoy a scenic stroll through vineyards cultivated using the traditional “alberello” (small tree) system. Step into a hidden artistic sanctuary created by a local painter. Blending art, architecture, and nature in a whimsical Gaudí style, this peaceful retreat offers a glimpse into Puglia’s vibrant cultural and creative spirit. Relax with a guided tasting of four premium wines led by an expert sommelier. Savor each pour alongside a traditional marenna—a rustic Puglian breakfast featuring local cheeses and cured meats that beautifully complement the wines.
