This was a lovely afternoon! Vernazza is beautiful. The walk was fine but could be difficult for people with mobility issues--follow their instructions and wear good walking shoes! The lemon grove location was absolutely lovely, an amazing view! All of the food and drinks were delicious!
Alessandro was a lovely and informative tour guide. The views were absolutely spectacular, can’t find a view quite like the one on the tour. Amazing white wine, limoncino and bay leaf liquor. Focaccia and lemon jam was delicious. Highly recommend!
Our Guide Alessandro was so kind, knowledgable and informative. This is a short hike to some shaded tables in the small lemon grove. We tasted local wine and Lemoncino. He brought focaccia, home made lemon jam and lemon cookies. The view from here was wonderful. Thank you :)
Allesandro was an incredible guide- very knowledgeable and friendly. The setting is picturesque and the tastings were wonderful. The hike up to the tasting is moderate difficulty- especially in the heat, but it is very worth it. Would recommend to anyone looking for a differnt type of experience in Vernazza
The tour was excellent. The views were spectacular. Highly recommended!
Wonderful tour up the hillside in Vernazza! Alessandro took us on a beautiful hike to a private overlook where we could explore the small lemon grove and sit and relax while he shared their farms wine, lemoncino and a liquor made from bay leaves. He was so knowledgeable and also gave us plenty of time to soak in the experience and views of Vernazza and the Ligurian Sea!
This was a great tour with Alessandro! We walked through the village of Vernazza and went on part of the path to Monterosso. We went to the lemon grove where we had a beautiful view looking down on Vernazza. We tasted the lemon jam with focaccia, cookies, La Bottega wine - and limoncino. It was all delicious! We met back at the store where we made a few purchases!!
What a wonderful way to spend the morning. The hike was worth the vista once we arrived at the picnic spot. Alessandro was an interesting and friendly guide. We can highly recommend this tour.
What a wonderful way to spend a morning. The meeting point is easy to find. Alessandro was welcoming and friendly. The climb to where we were to stop for the tasting was not too far. Along the way Alessandro was informative about what we could see from various view points. The tasting spot had an amazing vista of Vernazza. Tasting the lemon jam, local wine, and other drinks felt quite a privilege away from all the other tourists. I could have stayed there all day it was quite magical.
A unique experience in Vernazza with hiking, viewpoints, and tastings. The guide Alessandro is passionate and explains very well. Thank you for everything for this dream moment, Alessandro! A thought also for Monica, the seller at the Bottega, and her kindness; we were able to buy in the shop the products tasted during the excursion. Thank you very much 🇮🇹🍋
