About This Experience

Burrata watched being born at a 1930s Altamura cheese factory, focaccia in its capital, and Apulian wine with a food expert driving: this private Murgia tour from Matera is the gourmet geography lesson of Italy's deep south, unhurried by design. The operator sets the tempo in the first line: pickup at ten in the morning, too late? No, it is very important you are not stressed. The Murgia, the high limestone plateau spanning Puglia and Basilicata, rewards exactly this pace, and the day keeps it faithfully. Altamura opens the itinerary, and Dicecca is its argument: one of the most famous Apulian cheese factories, producing since 1930, where you watch live production before tasting burrata, ricotta and caciocavallo at the source, cheese as fresh as physics permits. Watching burrata being made, then eating it minutes later, permanently recalibrates your dairy standards. The tasting programme extends across the day: three different cheeses, two types of focaccia, Altamura's bread culture being a protected treasure in itself, and three guided glasses of wine, the plateau's robust southern pours alongside its produce, all narrated by your English-speaking driver, a food and wine expert of the region. Private transportation with air-conditioning, WiFi and bottled water handles the plateau's distances, all fees and taxes are included, and lunch stays yours to choose from the expert's shortlist, in territory where wrong choices barely exist. Matera's cave-city splendour bookends the day, making this the ideal companion excursion for Sassi-based stays: stone in the morning light, cheese and wine across the plateau, and home before the caves turn golden. Wine Trails books your private date online with instant confirmation, direct with the operator and clear of any middleman fee. Bread pilgrims should carry an empty tote: Altamura's DOP loaves, baked in wood ovens from local durum, keep for days and travel like edible souvenirs. The plateau's open horizons also make this the most photogenic food tour in the south, cheese wheels and wheat fields sharing every frame. Puglia's food fame keeps growing; the Murgia is its high, quiet source. One day, one expert, burrata at birth and focaccia at the font: the deep south, tasted properly.
