Dairy visit and cheese tasting in Martina Franca
Mozzarella and burrata made in front of you, then the farm's trulli and the table.
What you do
Here the tasting comes last, and you get to it with fresh eyes. First you step into the farm's dairy and watch the cheesemaker make mozzarella and burrata up close.
Then you head outside for a walk around the trulli, the small chapel and the cowshed. It is the countryside of Martina Franca seen from the inside, by the people who work it every day.
At the table you find cheeses, cured meats, bread and a dessert, with a glass of wine. If you want to linger, there are richer versions with antipasti or a full lunch. It starts at 11 and the basic visit lasts about an hour and a half.
By bike
Martina Franca is in the Itria Valley, far from my Salento bases in Lecce, San Foca and Calimera. I will not suggest riding there from Lecce.
If you are staying in the Itria Valley, though, I can bring the bike to your accommodation for a surcharge based on distance and prepare a self-guided route with GPX and roadbook. A morning on the saddle, the bike locked with the kit lock, and at 11 you are at the farm. It works just as well on a day without the bike.
