Wine Tasting in Manarola

Description

Then you will go up to the cemetery which is located in a fantastic area offering beautiful views from which you can truly appreciate Manarola and even a partial view of Corniglia. After walking through an ancient footpath in the midst of lush gardens you will reach the Alessandro’s vineyards, where he will teach you to identify the different grape varieties and the different methods of pruning and grape growing. The path leads you in front of the Church of San Lorenzo and after walking a bit further, you will reach Alessandro’s wine cellar where you will taste his DOC approved Cinque Terre white wine, accompanied by typical Ligurian focaccia.
