Visite d'une oliveraie avec dégustation de vins et d'huile d'olive des Cinque Terre
Description
Empruntez l'un des sentiers les moins connus mais les plus fascinants des Cinque Terre. Après une visite rapide mais captivante du village de Vernazza, nous commencerons l'ascension le long du fascinant chemin muletier vers le Sanctuaire de la Madonna di Reggio (environ 1 heure) à une altitude de 330 mètres. Durant l'ascension, nous admirerons de magnifiques vues sur la côte des Cinque Terre, avec ses terrasses caractéristiques soutenues par des kilomètres de murets en pierre sèche, où poussent oliviers et vignes pour produire des vins prestigieux. Devant l'ombragée Piazzale del Santuario se dresse un cyprès monumental (le plus vieux de Ligurie !). et un majestueux chêne vert. Avant de descendre, nous visiterons la fascinante oliveraie de l'Azienda Agricola la Bottega, où est produite l'huile d'olive extra vierge DOP de Ligurie. Ce sera également l'occasion de rendre visite à deux sympathiques poneys, les mascottes de la ferme. À l'ombre d'un poirier, vous pourrez déguster un verre de vin 5 Terre DOC accompagné d'une focaccia ligure typique.

Itinéraire
Au point de rendez-vous fixé, vous trouverez Alessandro, un guide de randonnée local qualifié qui vous fera découvrir les secrets de Vernazza.
Depuis Vernazza, nous emprunterons l'ancien chemin muletier qui nous mènera au sanctuaire de la Madonna di Reggio en une heure environ. Chaque village des Cinque Terre est protégé par un sanctuaire marial. Chacune d'elles, en effet, préserve les profondes racines de la spiritualité et de la culture des Cinque Terre, auxquelles les habitants sont liés par un sentiment de dévotion. Juste en contrebas du sanctuaire, nous nous arrêterons pour visiter une magnifique oliveraie récemment restaurée appartenant à notre ferme, La Bottega, qui nous fournit notre huile d'olive extra vierge. Nous visiterons également la maison de deux sympathiques poneys qui sont devenus les mascottes de notre ferme. Assis à l'ombre d'un poirier, vous pourrez vous reposer un instant et savourer une focaccia rafraîchissante, en goûtant de l'huile d'olive extra vierge ligure et en sirotant un verre de vin de l'Azienda Agricola la Bottega avant d'entamer la descente vers le village.

A stunning and peaceful walk up behind Vernazza with epic views. The pace is quite gentle with a lot of stops and easy conversation. It’s a lovely tour with a friend or like me solo. The host is incredibly knowledgeable and it is also his families stunning generational farm with delicious olives, lemons and wine
This was an absolutely awesome experience! Alessandro did a wonderful job as a guide. He explained everything so thoroughly and with such kindness. It was a great experience to interact with a local who is so passionate about local farming.The hike was absolutely beautiful up into the mountains. It was so peaceful and we were the only ones on the trail. The samples of wine, olive oil and bread were a nice treat after the climb up to the top to the sanctuary. It was an added bonus to visit with the two little ponies. I would highly recommend this if you are interested in getting off the beaten path and want to do some relaxing and peaceful hiking. It is uphill, but it’s gradual and the guide took his time and allowed for plenty of rust breaks.
Very beautiful, scenic hike with a very engaged, knowledgeable guide. Alessandro shared a lot of information about both the natural vegetation and the produce grown on the terraces. The luncheon and wine tasting were done in an spectacular location in a shaded area outside the old church.
Easy paced, not rushed. Beautiful area. Our guide, Allesandro was very knowledgeable about area, wines and olive groves
This was my first time in Italy, as well as my first time solo travelling, and I'm so glad that I booked this experience! Alessandro guided me on the tour from Vernazza station up to the Sanctuary and it was a great way to see and learn about Cinque Terre. Alessandro was very communicative ahead of the booking, and was very knowledgeable and friendly. We had the perfect weather conditions for hiking, and the views were breathtaking. Once we got to the top, we had some focaccia, wine and locally made liqueur which was divine! Alessandro regularly checked that I was hydrated and was happy to take as many breaks as I needed in-between. I can't fault the experience and would 100% recommend to anyone going to Cinque Terre!
A truly wonderful tour, with views of the rolling hills of Vernazza, with its terraced vines. The Alessandro guide is always professional and manages to introduce us to the most characteristic aspects of the Cinque Terre. The sanctuary is beautiful and the ancient trees that surround it are truly admirable. The visit and the story of the two ponies enrich the experience and very very good and welcome tastings of limoncello and wine. A beautiful trip, simple and very very interesting, with an experienced and helpful guide.
This was an amazing tour. First we were lucky to be the inly ones. Our Tour Guide Alessandro was absolutely a joy to walk with. He is a local that works in the Bottegga Farms as well. He has the actual inside information of daily life in Vernazza for the locals. What we learned about the life in the farm was priceless. The hike was amazing with spectacular views of the farm and of Vernazza. Alessandro brought treats and wine to try while we sat enjoying the area and the Ponies!! Ponies were great. This is a true working farm so you get the perspective better. The wine was delicious, and the Limoncello…OMG. The Santuary is 800 years old, quiet, and peaceful. We recommend Alessandro and the tour highly. An amazing historical as well as culinary experience.
Nothing at top of mountain and church may not be open. Views of terrace hillside, ocean and town beneath very picturesque.
We had an unforgettable afternoon with Alessandro! The hike to the Bottega olive grove was beautiful, and learning about Vernazza’s history, wine traditions, and the rescue of the sweet ponies M&M made it even more special. The wine tasting among the olive trees was a highlight, and the walk to the sanctuary rewarded us with breathtaking sunset views over the whole town. Coming down at dusk and seeing Vernazza lit up was magical. Alessandro is so kind, knowledgeable, and passionate…highly recommend this tour!
It was a beautiful, interesting day with the discovery of new paths and corners that we did not think there were in the 5 lands. We must thank our guide Alessandro who made us appreciate everything with the kindness and professionalism that are his. Then the limoncino and the wine they offered us were delicious.
