It's just a complete contradiction. It reminds you of whitewashed coastal villages of Greece but it's distinctly Italian. There's an island-like easiness but it's part of the mainland. You'll ride along the deep blue waters of the Adriatic that are still one moment and dramatic the next. The people are welcoming and down to earth but the foods are explosive and even piccante (spicy) at times. Authentic farmhouses have been transformed into exquisite inns. Every turn on your adventure will feel familiar and foreign at the same time. Welcome to Puglia.

  • Unbeatable views of ancient olive orchards, whitewashed villages and age-old farmhouses
  • Ride on quiet one-lane orchard roads, cooled by sea breezes, under big blue skies 
  • A sommelier-led tasting of full-bodied Primitivo and other notable Pugliese vini
  • The World Heritage site of Alberobello with 1,500 trulli
  • Dine on organic homemade Pugliese dishes with a wine pairing at each course
