Cinque Terre

I will wait for you at the entrance to the town of Volastra to accompany you on a visit to our cellar where we will explain the main winemaking processes, our history and the origins of Cinqueterre wine. We will explain the differences from a production point of view in the making of our different types of wine: BarCa Cinqueterre doc", sea wine that fully represents the Cinqueterre, "Memento" wine, macerated wine that comes from a selection of our oldest vineyards and "Rosaluna" wine, rosé wine. After the visit to the cellar, you will be accompanied on a tour of the vineyards along the Manarola-Volastra path. In the vineyard we will explain the different differences between the three grape varieties of the Cinqueterre: Bosco, Arbarola and Vermentino. Then we will taste the three types of wine: BarCa Cinqueterre DOC, Memento white wine and Rosaluna rosé wine directly in the vineyard, a unique and unmissable experience to enter and learn about the world of wine.

I had the best experience with Andrea. He was so welcoming and very responsive. Since it was off season he offered to pick us up from manarola. The views were perfect at sunset and the pesto making process was soo fun!! The wine is very tasty and I love how it’s family grown. Definitely would recommend as I would do it all over again!! DEFINITELY BOOK THIS IF YOU WANT TO EXTRA EXPERIENCE IN CINQUE TERRE!

We had an Incredible experience at the Barca vineyards! The family vineyards are perched on cliffs overlooking the Cinque Terre coast line. It was amazing sitting there overlooking the Sea tasting their wines and crafting pesto. The whole experience from start to finish was great. They are a small family operation and we loved getting to see their farm, meet the family (including Tito the family farm dog) and soak up the experience. Andrea had us stay later so we could watch a stunning sunset on the cliffs over the water while savoring more wine and pesto. Andrea was very responsive and helpful providing instructions on how to get to their village, and even picked us up in town and dropped us back off due to the late season bus times not being as frequent. We cannot say enough good things about this experience and hope to be back!

Our guide, Andrea, was awesome! He was very knowledgable and passionate about the wine and pesto making process. He also made sure we stayed long enough to watch the sun set on the Ligurian Sea which was breathtaking in a vineyard at the top of the terraced mountain.

Wonderfully intimate tour of personal family vineyard. We picked our own Basil and walked the hillside to a marvelous table under the vines to make pesto and taste wine. Andrea was a gracious and kind host. Keep up with these tastings and pesto making classes. Magnificent views. Wonderful Sciachatra local dessert wine.

We really enjoyed this tour! The winery is small and family owned. The hike through the vineyard was amazing. We arrived at the small table set up for pesto making overlooking the sea. It was picture perfect! We sipped different wines, enjoyed the fresh pesto we had just made and watched the sun set. We loved how private it was, just our group. A fun and unique experience!

Unbelievable experience! Andrea was a great host.. we drank amazing wine and learned how to make pesto from scratch. The hike to the experience was so unexpected and beautiful. Would definitely recommend this to anyone traveling to Cinque Terre.

Andrea was such a gracious host! This was such an immersive experience and one we will not forget! The experience of making pesto with fresh ingredients in the middle of Andrea’s vineyard while tasting his delicious wines is a memory that we will stay with us forever. There is no other view quite like the view from the vineyard. Andrea’s passion and creativity shine through as he talks about his journey in winemaking. We would highly recommend this experience!

Andrea, our exceptional host, was a true gem. His passion for the region, its history, and, of course, wine, was infectious. His deep knowledge and captivating storytelling skills made the tour even more engaging and immersive. While this tour may not suit everyone's preferences, if you're a true adventurer with a penchant for exploration and a love for quality white wine and rosé, Andrea's Cinque Terre Winery Tour is an absolute must. It's an opportunity to immerse yourself in the local culture, witness awe-inspiring landscapes, and indulge in the flavors of the region.
