Authentic Valditria: Indulge in Traditional Food & Wine In Apulia

Indulge in the traditional food and wine from southern Italy

Discover the Itria Valley, an area characterized by the extraordinary "Trulli," mythical houses characterized by their conical roofs overlapped with dried limestone. You’ll visit the fairy-like towns of Martina Franca, Locorotondo and Ostuni and marvel at the beautiful countryside dominated by rich vegetation and natural landscapes along the way.

First, you’ll visit Martina Franca, a jewel tucked away in the countryside where whitewashed simplicity sits side by side with Baroque extravagance. Known for its unique historic center and memorable maze of winding alleys, this undiscovered town will give you a glimpse into Apulia’s timeless beauty. Next, you’ll explore the enchanting town of Locorotondo, nicknamed "the balcony on the Itria Valley" for its spectacular views of the valley. Considered one of the most beautiful villages in Italy, you’ll enjoy getting lost between the picturesque narrow stone streets and tiny white houses with gable roofs called "Cummerce." The tour wraps up with a visit to Ostuni, frequently known as the "White City." Situated on the Murge Hills with steep walls and a quaint historic center, Ostuni is completely coated in white and features an array of alleys and stairways, and tangled streets that lead to stunning arches and charming squares.

Along the way, you’ll learn how most of the inhabitants are still devoted to cultivation in small farms and how you can taste the quality and passion in every bite. You will have the chance to savour the best local produce near Locorotondo, where you will enjoy a tasting of local wines, olive oil, and fresh-made burrata cheese. By the end of the tour, you’ll have a better grasp on Apulia’s astounding natural beauty and tasty traditional cuisine.
