Itinerary
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.

Amazing view!! Read for bus instructions!
This was an incredible view for a cooking class!! A word to the wise… getting a bus to the cooking class was confusing. We were coming from another city and didn’t realize we needed to buy the bus tickets down at the train station so don’t make the same mistake we did! We got conflicting information from shop owners around the bus saying that we could get tickets at a takeaway shop by the bus stop, but they only took euros and we only had a card! Train station took a card (and don’t forget you need 2 sets of tickets for getting there and getting back). The view was great and we would do again, but wish someone had given us bus advice so we weren’t late to the class The host was gracious to allow us (and a big part of our group) to get there 30 mins late!

We had an amazing time...
We had an amazing time learning about wine and learning how to make pesto! The views are amazing and the whole experience was very fun.

Amazing!
Great experience, stunning views drinking wine and eating pesto and focaccia - what could be better. Super easy to get to and the guys running it are great!
Y
Good views and wines
The host was good the wines are nice. The view and the hike is really pretty. Only do the hike down if you are comfortable with heights.

The views were absolutely...
The views were absolutely stunning, you’re much higher in the mountains than the cinque Terre so you have an amazing view! It was easy to get there from the neighboring village via train and then a bus up to the vineyard, and the host kindly met us at the bus stop. The wine was fantastic and the pesto was good, but I wish they spent a bit more time talking about their wine, the area, etc. as we made the pesto. I also thought it would be a bit more food, don’t plan on this being a dinner, but it was good food and wine with a gorgeous view!

There’s a short walk down...
There’s a short walk down to the winery and we learned so much about the process of wine and pesto making. It was so beautiful and extremely fun.

Beautiful, Delicious and informative 🌻
Such a highlight of our trip! Getting to Volastra was super easy thanks to Andrea’s helpful directions and tips. The vineyard is absolutely beautiful, with stunning views all around. The pesto class was fun, authentic, and delicious, and the wine tasting made the experience even better. Such a special moment in Cinque Terre — highly recommended!

Private, Beautiful, 100% Memorable!
Wow, what a wonderful time we had! We loved finding this gem! The winery was just beautiful and so amazing how they work it in the side of those steep hills. Making pesto looking over the beautiful Ligurian Sea could not have been more beautiful! It was also very private & personal! Thank you to the BarCa, we will be back & will always recommend you! Wine was delicious too!
