• Beautiful Boutique Vineyard

  

  Discovering more Puglian vineyards. It was with much anticipation and elation after such a long time in lockdown, and living under strict government enforcement rules that limited our freedom, that we’re now finally able to breathe again, to live again and to experience new things again. So, one of the first things I wanted to […]

• Chocolate & Wine: Why not!!!

  It’s no big secret that I’m a big fan of wine but my other passion is chocolate and my absolute favourite is Lindor truffles by Lindt. So, when I heard that Cioccolateria Carone was hosting a Lindt festival to kick start the festive season, I just had to go! So, I called a couple of […]

Located in a quaint little street, Via Edison, just a few steps away from the main Piazza in San Vito Dei Normanni, this tiny trattoria serves only locally sourced, fresh, seasonal, cuisine. There’s […]
