“A tour de force, well-planned and flawlessly executed.” Puglia 2023

The "Puglia Culinary & Cultural Tour 2023: The Mediterranean Diet & Beyond” was a tour de force, well-planned and flawlessly executed. The sites visited were exceptional and outside the traditional tourist path. We gained a comprehensive understanding of the wheat grown in Puglia; as well as the production of the different types of flour and bread. We also have a better  understanding of types of olive oil. The visit to a working dairy farm and cheese production was spectacular. The cheeses we ate were exceptional. We also visited a fish market and had an opportunity to see and smell the local seafood. We also had the opportunity to cook our own meals and learn about making pasta, focaccias and other delicacies. During the whole trip we had plenty of insightful discussions about the Mediterranean Diet.

My wife and I learned and enjoyed the trip; far beyond our expectations. I am ready for the next one.
