10 stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Published on Nov, 2024

This was the most fantastic wine tasting and tour I have ever been. Maria was very knowledgeable of the process of making wine at cinque Terre. We learned a lot. Cinque Terre (Maranola) is a UNESCO world heritage site, so a lot goes in to protecting the town, and the way things are done. The wines are small production that really pays attention to quality and tradition. The tasting and snacks are very generous portions. I liked their dessert wine a lot, and I don’t like sweet wines, but this is very different. The star of the Show is Maria, we could not have asked for a better host. If I could, I will give her 10 stars.

This is a hidden gem!

Published on Oct, 2024

My friend and I stumbled upon this hidden gem after our hike, and Maria was kind enough to accommodate us without a reservation. I’d recommend reserving ahead and going for the full tasting experience. Maria was fantastic, and we got to meet two sisters next to us who had reserved—there were so many more tasting options! This was truly one of the highlights of our trip; I highly recommend it. It’s a unique experience you won’t find anywhere else.

Wine tasting with Maria in Manarola, Italy

Published on Sep, 2024

The wine tasting experience with Maria was fantastic! We began by walking the vineyards with amazing views of Manarola and the sea. Maria is very knowledgeable about the wine of the region. The beautifully prepared aperitivo and the wines were delicious and Maria’s explanation and presentation were appreciated. So much fun!

Amazing wine tasting with local snacks

Published on Sep, 2024

Maria showed us around the vineyard, telling us interesting facts about the local wine production and the area. The tasting afterwards was absolutely amazing, we could taste seven different wines and she provides us with a huge plate of local snacks to go with the wines. Everything was extremely tasty and the we had a grwat time with Maria, we would recommend this experience to every wine lover!

Exceptional wine excursion and tasting

Published on Sep, 2024

Our Manarola vineyard tour with Maria was the highlight of our trip to Cinque Terre. We arranged the excursion on relatively short notice, but the communication with Maria was exceptional, and she welcomed us warmly. We enjoyed the tour of the Manarola vineyards, and Maria was very knowledgeable in the viticultural practices of the region. We then proceeded to an extensive wine degustation and delicious traditional meal. Maria’s enthusiasm and expertise in describing local wines enhanced the overall experience. Grazie Mille Maria for a wonderful afternoon!
