This was a good experience, Very good wines, great snacks to accompany them. The tour was very interesting. The tour guides knowledgable.
Wish we could have sent some home, but they couldn't accommodate that for us.

We took a tour and had a lovely wine tasting here. The history of the place is so interesting. Sandra, our tour guide did a great job telling us about the olive oil production and also the wine production. Then we were treated to their wonderful wines. We ended up checking a bag, just so we could bring some home!

Very very nice experience. Beautiful place, very nice staff - the lady who guide us was very nice and professional. The wine are good and not that expencive.
We pay 20 eur per person for tour and degustation and it was definitely worthy. We also bought some wine, I think we took 6 bottles amd we pay about 90 eur.

We stayed here for three days in February 2020, and there are no other way to describe our experience than “woow!”.
What a place and such friendly hosts, and we even got to hang out with the house animals(dogs/cat).

We stayed in junior suite, which had everything we needEd (bathroom, windows, airconditioning and even heated floors).
Our host Claudia came every morning and provided is with the most delicious breakfast(Fresh fruits, coffee/te, juice and even home cooked cake!)

We took the included tour around the masseria, which was very professional and interesting!
We got to try some of the house wines, amazing!

The masseria is like a oasis and totally worth the price!

Would definitely recommend this for anyone visiting the puglia region!

We were on a trip in the South of Italy and were looking for a Masseria into which get to know more about the story of Puglia and the goods linked to it..

After looking a bit we found L'Astore, the road to go there is great, but the place is marvellous, classic italian farm, it seemed like a moment out of time.

Claudia is a wonderful and passionate person that took us through the making of Olive Oil and Wine, the tasting was gorgeous, the products, out of this world!

They can deliver any wine you might wanna buy to your home at a really fair price

Now that I think of it, I need to order them another dozen bottles

Could not recommend this place enough, next time we're going to Puglia, we'll be staying there

L'Astore Masseria produces both organic wine and olive oil. A tour (cost 20 euros) concentrates on the production of olive oil in the 19th century in a huge underground olive press. This lasts about 30 minutes and is very interesting. You then go to the tasting room and taste some of their wines and oil. Our guide, Elisa, was very knowledgeable, and some of the wines were delicious.

Eliza gave us a great tour of the old olive oil press and told us about the history as well as passing through where their wine barrels are kept. We then did the wine and oil tasting which was delicious, the tastings were accompanied by some lovely snacks as well.
We had the added benefit of chatting along with Eliza throughout as she had lived in Sydney for a few years.
Definitely recommend! Came away with 1.5L of oil and two bottles of wine!
To book, email or call Eliza directly 🙂

We visited L’Astore to taste the local wines and see the historic underground oil mill and wine cellar. Elisa Lazzoi was our guide and what a fantastic ambassador for the estate and example of Puglian charm she was. Great wines and oil, we bought a good stock to take home. When we return to the area we will be back! Highly recommend a trip here. Thank you Elisa!
