Wine Tour Puglia

Wine has always been important for Puglia and it has characterized, together with olive oil, the culture and tradition of the region. Puglia’s wine production is, in fact, among the most important in Italy in quantitative terms and this represents a notable step forward compared to the past.

In fact, for years, this was shipped to the regions of northern Italy where it was used as a “blending” wine to strengthen local wines. For some years, however, the situation has changed and the producers of Puglia have started producing quality wine, aware of the enormous wine potential of the region.

For those who want to learn about this aspect of the Apulian food and wine tradition, a Wine Tour is the ideal solution. A full immersion in the heart of Salento wine production through visits to the best wineries, with excursions to traditional vineyards and a look at the modern production and bottling areas of the finest wines such as Negro Amaro, Salice Salentino and Primitivo di Manduria to name but a few some.
