I highly recommend this wine tasting. It was very educational about the history of the local mine making without being boring. Started on time and ended with a walk to further discuss the vineyards.

Yvonne was knowledgeable but we did not try enough of the wine. Focaccia was very tasty. We did not know there was a walking trip up the hill and then left on hill to return…in comparison this experience came in last 😳🇮🇹

We had a great time learning not only about the wine of cinque Terre but also the history. Learning from a true local who loves the region was the highlight of our time in Manarola.

Yvonne was very knowledgeable. You can tell she loves the land and wants to share her heritage and all about the wine making industry and process here. We enjoyed our tasting and tour very much!

The wine tasting and its amazing host were incredible. Yvonne can trace her family roots back over 300 years in the area and is a true master of wine. A true experience to find out about the wines and the people of this small area of Italy Cinque Terre. The walk amongst the vineyards was fantastic and I would tell anyone who is a wine lover and wants to try something different to give this a go.

This wine course was very informational and Evelyn was very gracious, kind and extremely knowledgeable about a Cinque Terre wines. We tasted 3 different wines and visited a great old wine cellar. She grew up in the area and you could tell that she was proud of her heritage. One thing I will say is that i’m Not sure why it was called “sensory” course. But, we had lots of fun.

Ivette was a truly wonderful hostess and guide through the history and culture in Cinque Terre surrounding wine. She explained the unique environmental conditions of Cinque Terre, as well as the traditional practices and recent revival of the wine industry that she and her family have been part of for generations. In addition to sampling three distinctive wines from the region, Ivette shared pictures and stories that highlighted how deeply rooted Cinque Terre community is in wine culture, making this so much more than just a wine tasting. She also patiently answered all of our questions. The visit to the traditional wine cellar was one of the highlights of our entire trip and felt like Ivette welcomed us into the family by sharing such an incredible piece of her community with us. We loved Ivette, the wine, and our whole experience!

Yvonne was a good teacher of wine testing. We appreciated the explanations also around the history of growing grapes (making dry walls for the plants). We tested 3 wines. We were aloud time to ask our questions.
