Join me for a soulful journey between Riomaggiore and Manarola, where the sea meets the suspended vineyards of the Cinque Terre.

Together, we’ll explore breathtaking landscapes shaped by what locals call heroic viticulture — vineyards clinging to steep terraces carved into the cliffs, held by ancient dry-stone walls and overlooking the shimmering Ligurian Sea.

To reach these hidden gems, you’ll have a choice: enjoy a short, scenic hike through the vineyards, or experience something truly unique by ascending on the small monorail wagons used by locals to carry grapes up from the terraces. Whichever you choose, the journey itself becomes part of the story.

Here, wine is so much more than something you taste. It is crafted by hand, nurtured by sea breezes, and rooted in centuries of passion and dedication. With every step — or ride — you’ll discover a place where nature, history, and human resilience come together in something truly special.

Our experience unfolds among these remarkable vineyards, where each sip of wine tells a story — of beauty, perseverance, and a land suspended between sky and sea. Here, we’ll be welcomed by young winemaker Mattia, who will bring this world to life through stories, insights, and personal anecdotes. Together, we’ll taste his wines, paired with a selection of local Ligurian specialties, discovering the true spirit of this land through its flavors.

We’ll end the journey just as the sun begins to set, sharing a glass of wine in a moment that feels almost like poetry — simple, authentic, and unforgettable.
