Let’s cook in Puglia

NEW DATES 2026

6 day Cooking experience

16 - 21 April

14 - 19 May

21 - 26 May

Join us for a 6-day cooking experience that immerses you in the rich food culture of Puglia, where almost everything you taste—food, wine, and ingredients—comes directly from the region itself.

From pasta-making and wine tasting to cheese production and hands-on traditional Puglian dishes, this week is crafted to give you an authentic and delicious taste of Puglia’s culinary heritage.

You can join on your own, with a friend or partner, or as a small group of family or friends.

For private groups, we also offer a custom-designed experience, tailored entirely to your interests and pace.
