About Basilicata
Basilicata rewards travellers who plan their days around the table: Matera's cave churches and rock-hewn lanes sit minutes from olive groves that have been producing oil for centuries, and the region's kitchens still cook like they are feeding family. A good starting point is the Sassi di Matera: Guided Walking Tour with Cave House and Church, which pairs the UNESCO districts with the local food culture, while the Food and Wine Tour: Patriarch Olives & Oil Temples in Matera goes deeper into the olive oil tradition that shapes almost every dish here.

Frequently asked questions
Basilicata's food culture is tied to the land rather than to restaurant trends. Olive oil from centuries-old groves, homemade pasta such as orecchiette, and preserved vegetables are still everyday staples. Tours here tend to combine a walk through Matera's Sassi or a nearby town with a tasting or a meal, so you learn the context behind what you.
