Welcome Events

Connect, Taste, and Belong One Local Event at a Time

Welcome Events are short, local experiences created for travellers and expats who are already in Puglia. 

What makes our events different from others in Puglia is their focus on food, meaningful connection, and the Italian language and culture. They’re perfect for expats who want to mingle with locals, or travelers looking to experience their trip in a more authentic, soulful way, even just for one afternoon or night.

Some events are announced last-minute, others are planned in advance.
