Vernazza (5 Terre): olive grove tour and oil and wine tasting

Walk one of the lesser-known trails of the Cinque Terre with a local licensed guide. Visit a beautiful olive grove where there are two cute ponies! Enjoy a lovely refreshment!

Take one of the lesser-known but most fascinating trails in the Cinque Terre. After a quick but engaging visit to the village of Vernazza, we'll start climbing along the fascinating mule track, arriving in about an hour at the Sanctuary of the Madonna di Reggio (13th century) at about 330 meters above sea level. During the ascent, you'll admire beautiful views of the Cinque Terre coast with the characteristic terraces supported by kilometers of dry stone walls, where olive trees and vines are grown to produce prestigious wines. In front of the shady Piazzale del Santuario, you'll find a monumental cypress (the oldest in Liguria!) and a majestic holm oak. Before heading back down, we'll visit the charming olive grove of the Azienda Agricola la Bottega, where Ligurian PDO extra virgin olive oil is produced. It will also be an opportunity to visit two cute ponies, who are the farm's mascots. In the shade of a pear tree, you can enjoy a small refreshment with a tasting of the extra virgin olive oil of the Cinque Terre and our wine from the Bottega, accompanied by the typical Ligurian focaccia. For kids, we'll offer local, zero-kilometer juices.
