Vineyard picnic in Martina Franca
Four wines and the flavours of the Itria Valley, sitting among the vines.
What you do
No tasting room here: you sit right among the vines in the countryside of Martina Franca. The pace is the slow one of the countryside.
The basket holds local produce: capocollo, burratina, caciocavallo, frisella, nodino and focaccia. In the glasses, four wines: a sparkling, a white, a rosé and a red.
If you want a proper meal, there is a lunch or dinner version with orecchiette, tiramisù and five wines. You stay between an hour and a half and two hours.
By bike
Martina Franca is in the Itria Valley, far from my bases in Lecce, San Foca and Calimera. This is not a picnic to ride to from Lecce.
If you are staying in the Itria Valley, I can deliver the bike to your accommodation for a surcharge based on distance. With a self-guided route, GPX and roadbook, you ride in the morning and sit down in the vineyard when you are done. With four wines, though, the ride back needs careful thought: many people prefer to keep the picnic for a day without the bike.
