Description
Immerse yourself in a unique journey through nature and culture from Corniglia to Manarola. Discover the natural and cultural wonders of the Cinque Terre with our hiking and tasting tour, in the heart of the Cinque Terre National Park.
Starting from Corniglia, the authentic heart of this fascinating territory, you’ll have the opportunity to explore the terraces carved into the landscape, a testament to the millennia-old culture of agricultural work in this region. You’ll walk along trails that wind through vineyards and lush forests, captivated by the history and landscape work that have shaped this land over the centuries.
With our expert and passionate guide, you’ll have the chance to deeply understand the Park, from its history to local traditions, to the richness of its nature. You’ll traverse abandoned hills, now flourishing with forests, to then enjoy a breathtaking view of the sea and the picturesque villages of the Cinque Terre.
During the hike, we will visit two of the five villages, immersing ourselves in the authentic atmosphere of these enchanting places. Our walk will lead us through terraces and vineyards that have made the area famous worldwide, still producing prestigious wines like Sciacchetrà and Cinque Terre Doc.
From Corniglia, we’ll walk towards Manarola, one of the most picturesque villages of the Cinque Terre, walking through Volastra. Here we will encounter the vineyards of a local wine producer who follows the “Triple A” philosophy. We will enjoy a stop for a tasting of his wine and typical local products.
The excursion will end with a spectacular arrival overlooking the sea in Manarola.
An unforgettable experience that will allow you to fully experience the authentic charm of this corner of Italian paradise, enriched by the presence of our guide, breathtaking views, and the tasting of local gastronomic treasures.
