During this walking wine tour in Manarola, you will discover the viticulture traditions of the Cinque Terre together with Chiara, a local guide born and raised in the area, who will introduce you to the landscape, vineyards and wines of her hometown.
The experience starts in the centre of Manarola and continues along the main road leading to the small harbour, where you can admire the colourful houses and traditional fishing boats that characterise the village. From here, you will walk uphill to the cemetery, set in a stunning panoramic position offering views over Manarola and, on clear days, a partial view of Corniglia.
Following an ancient path through gardens and terraced land, you will reach the vineyards, where Chiara will explain the local grape varieties, traditional pruning techniques and the challenges of viticulture in the Cinque Terre. The walk continues past the Church of San Lorenzo before reaching the cellar, where the experience concludes with a tasting of Cinque Terre DOC white wine, accompanied by typical Ligurian focaccia.
