Liguria
Vineyards Overlooking the Sea Between the Cinque Terre and the Riviera
In Liguria, the vine climbs on terraces overlooking the Mediterranean: from the Val di Magra to the Cinque Terre, up to the Wine and Oil Route from the Alps to the Sea between Ponente and Levante. Vermentino and Pigato dominate among the whites, often hand-cultivated due to the steepness of the vineyards, while Rossese offers fragrant reds near the French border. Ligurian wineries offer panoramic tastings, often paired with pesto, focaccia, and seafood dishes. Book your winery visit in Liguria at the same price as the producer, with immediate confirmation.
