Food and Wine Tour between the Patriarchs Olives and the Oil Temples

Food and Wine Tour between the Patriarchs Olives and the Oil Temples

16
We will start with a small breakfast under the patriarch olive tree, in an old countryside. Later we will go through the caverns of an ancient farmhouse. Under the centuries-old olive trees we will taste Matera bread and prepare a traditional dish from Matera, "la cialledda", which tells of the encounter between the typical bread of Matera, now stale, and the vegetables and mixed salads of the Lucanian land. All this will take place in a laboratory, at the end of which we will share this meal as even today the olive pickers do in their breaks. The cialledda will be accompanied by Primitivo wine and from the bundle containing Lucanian Slow Food Presidium products: Caciocavallo Podolico, Baked olives from Ferrandina and Pezzente salami from the Matera mountains. We will also be cheered by the sounds of popular instruments and the songs of the Matera tradition.

Matera_Belvedere walking tour, transfer included

Enjoy a licensed guided tour of the Rock Churches Park: it's an easy walk on the Murgia plateau, within the 'Natural Historical Archaeological Park of the Rock Churches', and is led by an experienced licensed local guide. It will be possible to explore the naturalistic and geological aspects of the park, by walking on the edge of the deep 'ravine. Over 150 rock-carved places of worship, called rupestrian churches, give the Murgia plateau a spiritual atmosphere since the early Middle Ages. The deep canyon's stunning landscape acquires a new meaning as a place of the soul, besides being a scene of visible traces of agro-pastoral activities, dating back to the Neolithic period. Visit rock churches such as "Madonna delle Tre Porte". You have the chance to listen to an exiciting and cultural storytelling of the ancient time and hidden city and to observe the Sassi area walking on movie locations. This tour is for small groups of up to 15 persons and the duration is approximately 2 hours.

Trekking towards Torrente Gravina and Rupestrian Churches of the Murgia

Trekking towards Torrente Gravina and Rupestrian Churches of the Murgia

3
The vast Murgia plateau facing the Sassi of Matera constitutes the Regional Park of the Rupestrian Churches of Matera, which has also been declared a World Heritage Site since 2007. It is a large rocky hilly area marked by deep karst fissures called: "Gravine". The show that appears before the eyes is truly breathtaking, since the whole inhabited area of the Sassi appears in all its splendor beyond the ravine. In a surprising and fascinating naturalistic context, following an initially somewhat steep path, accompanied by Environmental Naturalistic Guides, you descend towards the Gravina stream near which, in an area rich in vegetation, there is a characteristic Rock Church which " speaks to us” of the past. Looking up… the Sassi…. seen from the stream… amazement! Return to the Murgecchia plain and skirt the Gravina.
