Wineries in Puglia are easily accessible by different means of transportation.

By Air

If you want to get to wineries in Puglia by plane, the two main airports in the region are Bari Airport (BRI) and the Airport of Salento in Brindisi (BDS).

  • A16 route connecting Naples to Canosa passing through the Apennines


Driving around wineries in Puglia can be an incredible experience as you can fully take advantage of the fascinating landscapes of the region. If you don't want to drive all the way to the 'heel' of Italy, you can rent a car in one of the airports of the region or at the train station in Bari.

Trains are a great way to get to Puglia. You can get a high-speed train, either Frecciarossa or Italo, from all the major Italian cities to Bari and then use the regional rail services to get closer to wineries in Puglia.

Would definitely recommend this experience We found the wine tasting experience 10/10, booking was really easy and good communication. There was a little confusion at first when we arrived, lost in translation or we didn't give enough information. but was rectified very quickly by the staff. I think it was Catia who gave us the (second ) wine tasting. She was excellent and very knowledgeable. The museum was very interesting and was great to hear about the history of the wines in the area.
