Dairy farm tour with pasta making class and lunch

We booked the dairy farm tour and pasta making class as a group of six including 4 adults and 2 children aged 8 and 5 I was looking for an experience that the children could really get involved in and enjoy and this definitely fit the bill The tour took place at a beautiful Masseria in the countryside near Martina Franca where we were greeted by Marco and first taken to a wildflower meadow while he explained a bit about the Masseria and what we would be doing that day and we got to take some photos We then moved on to a tour of the dairy where we saw the cheese being made and were given some to taste It was very interesting and delicious and one of the cheese makers even made the cheese into little animal shapes for the children s amusement Next we had the opportunity to make and shape our own pasta and were shown how to make several different shapes including orecchiette cavatelli and more We may not have been the most skilled at making the shapes but we all had lots of fun trying and the children loved this part of the experience and with support we were all able to make some passable shapes in the end We were then given our fresh pasta to take away and cook later on After we had finished with the pasta we were given a tour of the farm where we were able to meet the various animals including the dairy cows calves donkeys deer ostriches geese dogs cats and more We were also shown the trulli on site and there were a few pieces of play equipment for the children to enjoy too We were told to take as long as we would like to explore and then come back to the masseria when we were ready for lunch The lunch was both amazing and very generously portioned There were several appetisers - meats cheeses bread a tomato foccacia some fried zucchini some little meatballs all delicious This was followed by a pasta dish and then a traditional dessert with pastry and cream plus water wine and coffee were included too All of the staff were very friendly and pleasant We really enjoyed the experience and would absolutely recommend it with or without children though if you are looking for a tour like this to do with children I do think this is probably one of better ones to choose The whole tour was very engaging and enjoyable and Marco was on hand to help and explain things throughout A great experience for our family

Very good experience

We had a great Time with Marco at Masseria Madonna Dell Arco He was a very good guide explain us everything with a lot of d tails answered all of our questions Everything went very well the timing was perfect and we had the surprise to have a very good degustation at the end of the visit We did not expect that Thank you Marco for your kindness

Our guide on this e-bike tour was

Our guide on this e-bike tour was terrific Thanks

So worth the time and money

Marco our guide was so friendly and full of information Because I lived on a dairy farm in Canada in the early part of my life it was interesting to see the life of the cows at this site in Italy Marcus answered questions I had about the care of the animals Seeing the artisans working on the cheese and then getting to taste some was interesting And wow We opted for the appetizers for lunch and the food was delicious and kept on coming It was more than we could eat

Personalised tour of the olive groves

Personalised tour of the olive groves and ancient underground mill very informative plus a taste test after we will look at olive oil differently from now on Highly recommend

Great experience
