Trani

Trani Wine Tour from Bari – Castel del Monte & Trani day trip with wine tasting experience

The tour will begin with your private driver and local guide collecting you from your hotel in Bari (another custom location in the area can be agreed) with a luxury sedan or minivan. Through the North Apulia you’ll explore fantastic scenery and appreciate centuries-old traditions that have remained largely unchanged.

After 1H drive you will reach Castel del Monte, one of the most sophisticated and secular buildings of the Middle Ages. It was built in the 13th century. The building is a harmonious geometrical study, but this precisely planned, giant octagon remains a mystery to this day.

You will then drive through a spectacular countryside until you reach one of the most renowned wineries of the region. It is set in an impressive “Masseria” with a view on the vineyards. Here you will have a visit of the estate, with its olive groves, vineyards, wine cellars, and finally will enjoy your wine tasting. It is also possible to stay for lunch at the estate and enjoy some authentic local food (this is not included and must be booked in advance).

Riding in complete comfort with your private driver and guide, next stop will be Trani. During the Middle Ages this small, lively whitewashed city port of Jewish origin bustled with mercantile activity and was filled with merchants and traders. Today, is one of the highlights of a visit, with its majestic Duomo built between 1159-1186 and beautifully situated on the sea front.

At the end of the day, your private driver will take you back to your hotel in Bari (or other desired location).

Please note that this day tour can be also arranged starting from other locations or as a shore excursion from the port of Bari.
