Vita Bella Tours

Our day trips offer a great opportunity to be chauffeured for a tour of wine, food and landscape in Puglia and Basilicata. You will savour some of the best wines in Puglia at the top cellars, and be transported to some of the region’s gems. The delights of Puglia await you! Our expert multi-lingual guides will lead you through unspoilt landscape and areas that have centuries’ old vineyards which have created the famous Primitivo, Negromaro, Sussumaniello, Aglianico e Bombino Bianco wines. The sounds, scents and flavours of Puglia will awaken your senses through your unique experience. Together we will enjoy exploring the fantastic sceneries and can appreciate the century-old traditions that have remained largely unchanged.

Lecce & Salento
The tour of Salento starts in Galatina where we will be taken on a tour firstly by Vincenzo Vallone, owner of the vineyard, where focus is on fantastic Primitivo wines and high quality olive oil all produced themselves.
The second vineyard in Scorrano is owned by Duke Carlo, whose family has produced wine for almost 1000 years. Most of the wines produced here are organic, with fantastic Primitivo and Negroamaro wines.
In Lecce, the Baroque ‘Florence of the South’ we will provide you with all the necessary information and guide you to some of Lecce’s most notable architectural sites as well as enabling you to enjoy some free time before we head back.

Matera & Basilicata
The ancient city of Matera, home of director Francis Ford Coppola, has lent itself to film settings like Mel Gibson’s “The last passion of Christ”. A visit to the famous Sassi (ancient cave dwellings) in Matera lets us steep ourselves in history, and you can enjoy some free time here as well.
Afterwards we travel a short distance into the countryside to visit a Masseria where one of Italy’s most prominent chefs will guide us through the wines they produce as well as their olive oil production.
