Self-Guided Urban Wine Tasting Picnic with Reservations, Locorotondo

Enjoy a leisurely vineyard picnic on the terraced slopes of Locorotondo, and take in the sweeping views across Puglia's Valle d'Itria. You'll settle into a reserved outdoor table among the vines, overlooking the countryside, where you'll sample three local wines paired with small regional bites, such as cracker-like taralli. Ideal for a carefree afternoon, this unguided experience is all about enjoying a Puglian aperitivo and the pretty scenery at your own pace.

Upon arrival at the vineyard on the southern edges of Locorotondo, head to the wooden hut to collect your wine and picnic fare before claiming your reserved table among the vines. With no formal guide or structured tasting, you're free to "drink" in the setting—as well as the trio of wines—on your schedule. You'll also tuck into a selection of traditional specialties, which may include crunchy ring-shaped taralli, fried chickpeas and fava beans, and twice-baked friselle topped with pâté.

Particularly atmospheric (and popular!) in the late afternoon, sip and snack as you enjoy the surrounding rural landscape, punctuated by the distinctive conical roofs of traditional trulli.
