Taranto History & Wine Tasting Tour from Lecce

Experience the best of Puglia on a full-day trip from Lecce that blends history, culture, and wine. Begin your adventure with a comfortable pick-up from your hotel and head to Taranto, the fascinating “City of Two Seas.” Explore its atmospheric old town at your own pace—wander through narrow alleys, admire sea views, and soak in the charm of this coastal gem.

Continue your visit with entry to the National Archaeological Museum of Taranto (MArTA), one of Italy’s most important museums. Discover ancient artifacts, gold treasures, and relics from the era of Magna Graecia in a beautifully curated space.

In the afternoon, travel through the scenic countryside to reach Manduria, the homeland of Primitivo wine. At the picturesque Masseria Cuturi estate, enjoy a guided tour of the vineyards and cellar, followed by a tasting of three estate-produced wines: white, rosé, and the signature deep red Primitivo.

End the day with a relaxing return to Lecce, enriched by the flavors and stories of southern Italy.
