Join us for a full-day Gelato and Apulian Sweets making workshop in Alberobello! Discover the recipe of the world most loved dessert! Our Ice Cream, Almonds and Apulian Cakes Class is suitable for all levels.

Alberobello is a fairytale village. No where else in the world will you find such a unique town of charming, narrow streets where the inhabitants live in “trulli,” small conical-roofed houses initially built without the use of mortar and with only dry stones piled one on top of the other and crowned with limestone roofs, which artfully supply pinnacles of magical significance.

You will meet our guide at the selected place and he will lead you for a walking tour of Alberobello, including the visit of a trullo from the inside if possible. Your will walk through the narrow alleys of the Aia Piccola borough and will see the key attractions of Alberobello, including a visit inside a trullo house.

It is always a great day to discover the recipe of the world most loved dessert!
