Discovering Alberobello by bike in Apulia
Puglia, a region located in the far Southeast of Italy. To picture this, visualize the famous boot? Well, it’s the heel! This place is full of surprises and hidden gems. We have decided through this team-building to reveal a bit more about Puglia during your corporate retreat. During this bike discovery of Alberobello in Puglia, you will follow one of the most evocative landscapes of the region. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is unique in the world! It includes the Itria Valley, better known as the “valley of the trulli”. It is so named because of its structures shaped like primitive huts, typical of the region. The very first trulli date back to the prehistoric period. They are small houses with a circular base, made of white lime-stone with cone-shaped roofs. Additionally, their roofs are decorated with mysteriously meaningful motifs, making them even more unique and magnificent.
You will find the oldest trulli, dating back to the end of the 14th century. The town is also well-known for its extensive stretches of olive groves, vineyards, and almond trees. This bike discovery of Alberobello in Puglia is a great way to explore these lands, and it’s also an eco-friendly mode of transportation, discovering this beautiful heritage while respecting and protecting it! You will also have the opportunity to visit a mozzarella factory, a real “Caseificio”. A cheese factory typical of Southern Italy with a demonstration of “how real mozzarella and cheese are made in Italy?” to then taste together all these treasures of Italian culture! We will participate in a workshop to discover all the secrets of recognizing a tasty and authentic fiordilatte mozzarella. The cheesemaker will explain all the steps of cheese making (mozzarella, burrata, scamorza, caciocavallo, etc.). You will be able to make your own mozzarella balls, taste them with local DOP olive oil. Be aware! We are talking about buffalo milk here, not cow’s! The bike discovery of Alberobello in Puglia, offers you beautiful and authentic landscapes. The route is very simple. The activity is suitable for everyone. The “capital of the trulli” as it is nicknamed, is a must-see for your corporate trip in Puglia.
