Spend a few unhurried hours tasting orecchiette, burrata, and Primitivo with a local expert who curates stops based on what's fresh that day, not a fixed script.
What to expect
Your guide, a Puglia native, takes you to a masseria or family-run producer for cheese and olive oil tastings, then into Monopoli or a nearby village for a relaxed multi-course lunch paired with regional wine. Conversation and detours (a market stop, a particular baker) shape the day. It ends with espresso and local sweets.
