The Experience

Two hours takes you through Andria's medieval heart and into the Mucci Giovanni Confetti Museum, where dragees—the almond confections Andria has produced for generations—are made and sold. The guide walks you around the historic center first, pointing out the architecture and layout of the old town, then moves into the museum itself. You'll see how the dragees are made and taste them before heading to the shop attached to the museum, where you can buy directly if anything catches your eye.

The dragees tasting is the centerpiece: these are confetti in the Italian sense, not the paper kind, and Andria's version is considered the best in the south. The Mucci family has been making them for a long time, and the museum shows the process and history. A professional guide in your chosen language (English, Italian or German) keeps the pace manageable and explains what you're seeing without rushing through either the town or the tasting.

Public transportation runs nearby if you need it to reach the starting point. The walk suits all fitness levels, so there's no barrier to joining. The guide is multilingual, which means the group may include speakers of different languages, but the core experience—the walk, the museum, the tasting—stays the same for everyone.
