Highlights
What sets this experience apart is Pedro himself. Unlike large commercial distilleries, here you are welcomed personally by the founder and master distiller - a man whose life story spans three continents. Born in Portugal, raised with Angolan roots, and now rooted in Puglia, Pedro's dual heritage makes his distillery a true cultural bridge, and every bottle reflects that unique fusion. The distillery is small, artisanal, and alive: you feel the warmth of the copper stills, smell the botanicals transforming, and hear the process unfold. Groups are kept to a maximum of 12 guests to ensure genuine, personal interaction. No scripts, no shortcuts - just authentic craftsmanship and real conversation with the man behind every bottle. Pedro has brought his international expertise to the heart of Salento - blending techniques refined across Europe with the wild botanicals of Puglia. A truly one-of-a-kind encounter you won't find anywhere else in Italy.
