Your first stop is the renowned Dicecca cheese factory in Altamura. With a heritage dating back to 1930, this family-run business is a cornerstone of Apulian gastronomy. You will enjoy an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the live production process, followed by a mouth-watering tasting session featuring creamy burrata, fresh ricotta, and aged caciocavallo.
Next, we visit the legendary Panificio La Maggiore. Here, the aroma of freshly baked Altamura bread—the first in Europe to receive the PDO status—will greet you. You will sample traditional focaccia and the local delicacy, 'tette delle monache,' a sweet pastry that is simply unforgettable.
To conclude your gourmet adventure, we head to the prestigious Polvanera winery. Wander through the sprawling vineyards and explore the cellar where high-quality wines are crafted. Accompanied by a professional sommelier, you will participate in a guided tasting of three distinct wines, learning the nuances of the local Primitivo grapes and the unique terroir of the region.
