The art of the land, the taste of the sun. Two souls of Puglia to experience in a single day: the ceramics of Grottaglie and the Primitivo wine of Manduria

Under the guidance of an expert ceramist, you will give shape to your artifact, immersing yourself in the centuries-old art of Grottaglie majolica.
