Travel to Italy with Chef Chris Atwood
Italy-trained Chris Atwood has partnered with the experts at Italy with Class to bring you on a gourmet tour of Puglia & Matera.
Join Chef Chris — travel writer, Italian cooking instructor, and bilingual tour escort — to savor Southern Italy away from the crowds.
Visit a family-run olive oil farm.
Taste burrata with cheesemakers.
Make pasta with a local "mamma."
Dine in off-the-path restaurants.
Stay at historic villas and vineyards.
Experience sunny views of the Mediterranean, hands-on cooking, and local life lived by Italians.
Puglia is the sun-drenched heel of Italy — filled with ancient olive groves, sapphire seas, and some of Italy's most tempting food and wines.
Enjoy a range of flavors in Puglia and Matera — from street food to fresh focaccia, from rustic feasts to trattorias where Italians go (no tourist traps).
Limited to 12 participants (couples and solo travelers welcome).
