Fascinating Trani & Oil Tasting In Bisceglie

Admire the medieval landmarks of seaside Trani and travel into the countryside for a sampling of olive oils whose taste reflects Puglia’s character. You’ll drive up the coast to the sophisticated city of Trani, which boasts a picturesque marina and a wonderfully atmospheric Old Town. See the imposing castle built by Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II in the 13th century, an impressive structure redesigned numerous times over the years as weaponry and methods of attack changed. You’ll agree that Trani’s cathedral, which is dedicated to Saint Nicholas the Pilgrim and was constructed beside the sea about 100 years prior to the castle, is equally superb. Exult in free time to meander along the waterfront or further explore the town’s medieval landmarks before your drive down the coast to Bisceglie, which is renowned for its superlative olive oil. At the esteemed Galantino family estate, you’ll taste fine varietals crafted with coratina olives, which produce an intensely fruity oil, and ogliarola olives, which are more delicate. To enhance your sampling, you’ll also feast on freshly baked bread, local greens and cheese, as well as mouthwatering small pretzels known as tarallini, a perfect accompaniment to Galantino’s golden elixir.
