Watts Wine Break
A 4 night programme from Tuesday to Saturday
Tuesday
If you are arriving by plane we will meet you at Brindisi airport (the Ryan Air flight arrives from Stansted just after 9pm). It is about a half hour drive to your accommodation. Once you have dropped your bags in your room, we will offer you a welcoming buffet/snack. Whilst you sample a few of the local delights, we will give a brief overview of what to expect during your stay.
Wednesday
In the morning we’ll head into the countryside to the wine-making area and visit 3 of the top wine producers from the very old to the very new.After lunch the time is yours until our guided tour of Lecce, which will be rounded off at the “Vineria” where Marco will present a range of different Italian wines followed
by dinner which will be accompanied by the wines suggested by our wine expert.
Thursday
After a morning visit to the beautiful fortified town of Otranto, we will head for the olive groves to sample the olive oils.

Afterwards we’ll head back to the Masseria but not without stopping for lunch. The afternoon is yours for relaxing until our evening out at dinner at a nearby masseria.
Friday
In the morning we will head for Gallipoli, another fortified town over-looking the sea, for our guided tour before heading off for another, local vineyard. We’ll have lunch at a restaurant nearby before we head off back to the Masseria to relax until Dinner.
Saturday
This morning we’ll be spending our time in Paola’s kitchen to learn the art of home-made pasta. The afternoon is free for you to have time to pack, soak up that last drop of sunshine or a last minute shop in Lecce before we take you to either Brindisi airport or Lecce train station.
