Top Things to do in Italian Riviera
The 10 Best Food & Drink in Italian Riviera, Liguria
Liguria, or the Italian Riviera, boasts a bounty of beaches and resort towns, such as tiny but tony Portofino and stylish Rapallo. Hiking trails lead from Portofino to the villages of Cinque Terre. The Riviera of the Setting Sun runs north from Genoa to the French border. Connected by an extensive rail network, most towns make easy daytrips from one another. Genoa is the region's principal city and is home to attractions from its famous Cathedral and the Palazzo Reale to an excellent aquarium.

Roberto & Alessandra welcome you into their cozy hideaway cantina to learn about the traditional ways of make their Cinque Terre wine, along with tasting paired with cheeses. We had a private tasting for two, which cost $75 and includes a bottle of their wine valued at $50-$55. They do not sell their wine outside of Cinque Terre as it is small production, and therefor is truly a local treat. Roberto & Alessandra were wonderful, knowledgeable, and able to answer any questions we had. Roberto produces the wine himself from start to finish...everything from planting, pruning, picking the grapes, to producing the wine. The wine was delicious....sweet and bursting with intense honey, citrus, and golden raisin flavors. It paired wonderfully with the blue cheese they provided. Thank you again for welcoming us in on this raining day and sharing a piece of Cinque Terre history with us!! Grazie Mille!

You must visit! The owners bring you in like family and are so incredibly genuine. The pictures don’t do this beautiful home justice! It’s magical! If they are unfortunately booked for your stay you must visit for dinner or a wine tasting. You will not be disappointed! We have three small children under the age of 9 and this was their favorite part of our trip (my husband and mine too). There is a huge courtyard for the children to play. The kids also get to explore the lemon orchards, grape vineyard, and bee keepers. I can’t get over what a beautiful hidden gem this place is!!! Just gorgeous!

Reading up on this location can be daunting as where to start? We were very happy with our version, which was: Train to La Spezia. One you hop off you have to buy further tickets for the train that passes through the 5 villages. Once on the train, you put your ticket into the machine to validate it. We travelled to the last village, Monterosso - about 15 mins. This is a pretty village to look around. We walked from there to Vernazzo - this is a fairly demanding but beautiful walk. It takes nearly 2 hours, and affords views of the coastal strip and passes through lush vegetation. Fish and chips in Vernazzo was nice. We did not walk the next leg to Corniglia as we thought this might make our day hard work. We took the train to Corniglia - the station is quite a level below the small town and the town is not the most exciting of the 5 villages. We were going to walk to Manarola as this is a flat walk but the trail was closed for maintenance. From the Corniglia station the trail can be tricky as it drops down narrow stairs at the southern end of the station and you are not sure this is the correct trail. We used the train instead to return. You do not have to try and visit all towns or try and walk the whole trail. We had a wonderful day just walking the first leg
