Hiking on one of the most beautiful trailsin the National Park Cinque Terre is an authentic and impressive experience. In the morning you will be taken by a private driver from the port of La Spezia or Porto Venere to Manarola, one of the little Cinque Terre villages. The hike will then lead you up through pine forests and the famous terraced vineyards. More than once the stunning views over the sea and the tiny little villages will make you speechless. In this unique scenery, the renowned Cinque Terre wine is produced. 

Your guide will introduce you to more than a thousand years of history of wine making in this area, the construction of dry-stone walls and the people, who since generations have been struggling against the opposing surrounding conditions and who are so proud of every drop of wine they produce. Once you reach Corniglia, you will taste these fine wines and enjoy some local snacks like focaccia or vegetable cakes.

The perfect way to relax and admire the wonderful Cinque Terre coast and the Gulf of Poets from the sea. (in case of rough sea, the boat might not run
