Description
This Cinque Terre walk with wine tasting climbs the trails above Riomaggiore, right beside the tracks of the little monorail trains that the local winemakers use to work their steep slopes. A live guide leads the way through this farming landscape.
The path ends at a terraced vineyard hanging over the sea. Here the family that runs it, four generations of winemakers, tells its story, and you sit down to lunch with the coast spread out below.
- A guided walk on the paths crossed by the monorail trains
- A visit to the terraced vineyard facing the sea
- A light lunch of Ligurian products
- A tasting of three wines from the historic family winery
The whole outing takes about two and a half hours. Part of the route includes a short, steep flight of stairs, so the tour is not suited to people with mobility impairments or to wheelchair users, and it is closed to guests under 18. Tours run in English and Italian. For anyone who wants to taste the Riomaggiore hills rather than only look at them, it is a relaxed, flavourful outing.
