Polignano Food Tour

Discover Apulian cuisine with all your senses in the coastal town of Polignano a Mare

Located on the Adriatic coast between the major cities of Bari and Monopoli, Polignano is much more than another beautiful seaside town. Join a local food expert for a gastronomic stroll through the heart of Polignano and uncover the typical products of Puglia and its artisan shops.

This food tour is a sensory experience, designed to help you get to know the culture of Apulian food, its agricultural excellences and gastronomic traditions.

Explore the city center and old town of Polignano a Mare with a local expert who will guide you to multiple stops. The tour starts with the essential coffee, maybe even the local “caffe speciale” before moving on to local cheeses such as caciocavallo and mozzarella, traditional breads and focaccia, artisanal cold cuts and preserves. You’ll also learn about the wonderful local olive oil from the nearby olive mills, and wines from native grape varieties, giving you a masterclass in Apulian cuisine.

Along the way your guide will share tips with you on how to shop and choose quality products in Puglia and Italy, as well as their favorite recipes using these ingredients and cooking techniques.
