Meet your guide in Manarola, one of a handful of towns that make up Cinque Terre, a registered national park and UNESCO World Heritage site famous for its vineyards and olive groves. Hear about the area’s rich history and long-held traditions in agriculture and fishing as you pass beautiful pastel-colored houses on the way out to surrounding vineyards along the Ligurian coastline.

Make your first stop at a local wine cellar. Gain an understanding of what differentiates these wines from others across Italy and feel free to ask any questions you may have.

Continue onward to explore row after row of grape-laden vineyards outside the town, and enjoy stunning views over the Liguria coastline from a hilltop vantage point. Take the time to capture this spectacular landscape on camera, and perhaps pose for a photo or two among the vines!

Leave the views and vineyards behind you and head off to the highlight of the tour: a tasting session that includes focaccia bread. Sip on several varieties as you learn about the complex flavors of the grapes. If you like what you taste, buy some of your favorites from the region.

After 2.5 hours, your tour will conclude back near your meeting point in Manarola.
