From lunch on the plaid with your feet on the grass, to the agri-aperitif by the pool or among the rows of vineyards, up to the tastings under the monumental olive trees or on the bales of hay, the agritourisms – adds Coldiretti Puglia – welcome guests both of local tourism that foreign holidaymakers take great care of, increasingly eager for good food cooked by peasant chefs, greenery, landscape and family hospitality.
But oil tourism and wine tourism routes are also winning, a trend confirmed by the choice of agritourism facilities that combine traditional hospitality with tourism experiences linked to EVO oil or wine, with sports and health activities in the vineyards, such as yoga and pilates among the olive groves and among the rows or bicycle routes, but also concerts and shows organized among the olive trees or in the vineyards.
If zero kilometer cuisine remains the most appreciated quality, what makes people choose agritourism – underlines Coldiretti Puglia – is the push towards local tourism, with the rediscovery of small villages and minor centers in the countryside which has brought the structures to also increase the offer of activities with innovative services for athletes, the nostalgic, the curious and environmentalists, as well as cultural activities such as visiting archaeological or nature trails or wellness.

A push towards green tourism in front of which many of the 950 agritourism companies present in Puglia – underlines the regional Coldiretti – have equipped themselves with the offer of accommodation and complete meals but also of packed breakfasts or with the simple provision of spaces for picnics, tents, caravans and campers to respect the independence needs of those who love preparing food independently, possibly only resorting to the purchase of Campagna Amica company products.
The campaign ranks among the most popular destinations of the long Liberation weekend during which more than one in three Italians (34%) chose to make the bridge – concludes Coldiretti – even taking a day off to rest at home or with friends , distract yourself with day trips but also take the opportunity to take a short holiday with almost all travelers who have chosen a national destination by staying in their own homes or those of relatives and friends, in hotels, bed and breakfasts and farmhouses.
