Matera Private Tours

As part of your journey through the enchanting city of Matera, I’m excited to offer a unique and immersive experience that goes beyond the traditional guided tour. Step into the world of Matera’s most iconic product—its bread. Join me for a hands-on bread-making workshop where you will not only learn about the history and culture behind the famous Pane di Matera but also get the chance to create your own piece of this culinary heritage.

What to Expect:

• A Journey Through History: The experience begins with a brief introduction to the history of the bakery we will be visiting, a family-owned business that has been a cornerstone of Matera’s bread-making tradition for four generations. Learn about the journey that led to the revival of Pane di Matera, a product cherished for its long fermentation process, made with the finest local semolina and natural sourdough starter.

• The Art of Bread-Making: Delve into the ancient traditions of bread-making as the bakers share the techniques and processes that make Pane di Matera unique and instantly recognizable. You’ll discover how this bread is intricately linked to the history and culture of the city.

• Hands-On Experience: Roll up your sleeves and get ready to create your own loaf! Under the guidance of skilled bakers, you’ll shape the dough and craft your personal piece of bread, learning the art that has been passed down through generations.

• Taste the Tradition: After the workshop, indulge in a delightful tasting session featuring freshly baked bread served with olive oil, along with a selection of local treats such as tarallini, pettoline, focaccia, and traditional sweets. Complement your tasting with a glass of wine or an artisanal beverage of your choice.
