Overview

Discover the perfect blend of history, culture, and flavor on this full-day tour from Lecce to Taranto and Manduria.

Begin your journey with a comfortable hotel pick-up and travel to Taranto, the “City of Two Seas,” where ancient charm meets seaside beauty. Explore the historic center and the renowned MArTA Archaeological Museum, either at your own pace or with an expert local guide (optional). Walk through centuries of history, from Magna Graecia to medieval tales.

Next, head to the heart of Puglia’s wine country and arrive at the scenic Masseria Cuturi near Manduria. Surrounded by olive groves and vineyards, enjoy a guided tour of the estate followed by a tasting of three exquisite wines, including the region’s iconic Primitivo.

With private transport, stunning landscapes, and authentic experiences, this tour is ideal for curious travelers and wine lovers alike. Return to Lecce relaxed, enriched, and inspired.
