Culinary Adventures in Puglia & Basilicata with Lyndey Milan
Discover Puglia and Basilicata, its flavours, culture and culinary traditions with Lyndey Milan

Spend an unforgettable week learning the secrets of a deeply passionate and undiscovered region of Southern Italy. Puglia is the sun-drenched heel of the boot that spans two seas, the Adriatic and the Ionian. Basilicata is its neighbor to the west. Both agricultural regions with abundant healthy soil, over 50 million olive trees and a tradition of wine growing that has seen a fabulous dynamism in the last ten years, this area produces some incredibly exciting wines.

Reviews

Highlights? My goodness every day is a highlight. Loved Matera, it was great. So much history and culture. There’s not a day that I haven’t loved. Probably my favourite moment was making the tomato sauce with Gianna. She was fantastic. To be welcomed into someone’s house is I think one of the greatest things that you can do when you’re on holiday. I’m not a cook so it was absolutely wonderful. I highly recommend for anyone who’s got the chance to do this tour to book your flights ASAP and get out here. – Jill Murray

The trip has been amazing. I came here as a solo traveller and it has been an incredible experience with a great group of travelers. Lyndey has been the most amazing host. She made me feel so at home and everything we have done, every place we have been has just been incredible and I have loved every minute. I can’t wait to do another trip! – Jane Lear

Lyndey Milan is an extraordinary woman. I met her in London a few years ago, but as a host for this trip she has been phenomenal. Everything went according to plan, there wasn’t a single hitch. The organization is magnificent. I could not recommend this trip more highly! – Merrie Palmer
