In the early evening, you will be greeted by your hiking guides at the hotel (6:45 pm). A delicious aperitif and small, typical local snacks will set the mood for an enjoyable week of hiking in Liguria. Dinner together.

First, we take the train to Bonassola. From there, we hike to Framura. Besides the magnificent views, the trail offers another special feature: wild herbs and vegetables grow here, used in the local cuisine: wild asparagus, thyme, savory, mint, myrtle, and much more. Upon arriving in Framura, we meet the young winemaker Emilio, who first shows us his beautiful vineyards and gardens – naturally with a sea view. Afterwards, we enjoy a tasting of his wines, accompanied by various seasonal delicacies, some of which come from his own garden.

In the morning, we take the train to Corniglia, the smallest of the Cinque Terre villages. Perched slightly above the sea, it has best preserved its original character. A narrow lane winds through the village, leading to Punta Santa Maria, where we enjoy a fantastic view of the sea. From there, we continue into the vineyards. Wine has made the Cinque Terre what it is – a breathtaking cultural landscape high above the sea. The view of the colorful houses of the five villages is stunning. Next, we descend to Manarola, where a sommelier will give us a brief introduction to the region's wines. Afterward, there will be time for a stroll through this picturesque village.

In the morning, we'll travel to Monterosso by train, of course, and take some time to explore the town before setting off on our hike. The trail leads through fragrant Mediterranean scrubland, orange groves, and olive groves, offering magnificent views of the coast. Along the way, we'll pass two pilgrimage churches, whose shady courtyards are perfect for a picnic. In the afternoon, a wine tasting awaits us at a winery in Vernazza, perhaps the most picturesque village of the Cinque Terre.

Today is yours to enjoy as you wish. You can spend it on the beach or take a trip to Genoa, the capital of Liguria. A hike is also an option. Our hiking guides will be happy to advise you.

Today promises to be a day full of highlights. We'll enjoy a breathtaking panoramic hike, a spectacular boat trip, and a tasting of exceptional wines in a special setting. In the morning, we'll take the train to Riomaggiore. From there, we'll hike along an ancient path that leads us past the ruins of the village from which the present-day town once grew. Our path winds through olive groves and shady oak woods until we reach an idyllic hamlet. Here, in a stunning location with breathtaking sea views, a family has realized their dream: they have restored abandoned vineyards and now cultivate them as an organic farm. Alongside the grapevines, numerous herbs and heritage fruit varieties thrive here. There are chickens, bees, and donkeys. In this enchanting place, we taste exquisite wines that tell the story of their unique terroir. Afterward, we descend back down to Riomaggiore, passing an old pilgrimage church. The day culminates in a boat trip along the picturesque Cinque Terre coast, offering us a completely different perspective of today's hike.

Today we first travel to Santa Margherita Ligure, a charming coastal town whose expansive beaches, magnificent grand hotels, and inviting cafés beckon you to linger. From here, we set off into the Portofino Natural Park. The route takes us through shady forests, picturesque villages, and past historic mills. Around midday, we reach an old hermitage perched high above Portofino, where a light refreshment awaits us. Afterward, we have the opportunity to stroll through the enchanting streets of Portofino before returning to Santa Margherita Ligure by boat, admiring the spectacular coastline from the water. On our last evening together, a very special experience awaits us: a themed dinner featuring delicious Slow Food specialties prepared by our hotel's chef. This is the perfect finale to our trip, allowing us to reflect on the unforgettable impressions of the past few days.

After breakfast, we'll say goodbye. We'd also be happy to give you tips for extending your stay in this wonderful region.
