Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Groppo, Riomaggiore Italy
The first stop in our experience is at the exclusive wine cellar of Davide Bordone, winemaker of Magnati Cinque Terre DOC wines. Our tour is the only way you can get to see the inner workings of this superb wine label, because only we have the keys. We will give you a background about the region, the wines, and the winemaking process, explain the workings of the small cellar, and taste one of Davide’s splendid white wines while looking out at the valley.
Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: A Pie de Campu, Località a Piè de Campu, 19017 Manarola Italy
For this experience, the owner of the wine bar and restaurant A Pie de Campu — the renowned sommellier Yvonne Riccobaldi — is taking her enthusiasm to the hills with us. From a tasting space that we have created on the cliffs directly above the Mediterranean coastline in Manarola, you will be guided through a winetasting experience in the same location as where the grapes come to life. We will indulge in the qualities of two other Cinque Terre wines under her expert guidance. The location for this wine tasting is available exclusively for this tour. No other tourists get to come here.
