Private Cinque Terre Hiking Tour: Manarola to Corniglia with Wine Tasting

Your tour begins in Manarola

Meet with your private guide in Manarola, a pastel village clinging to the cliffs of the UNESCO-listed Cinque Terre. After a warm welcome and quick trail briefing, lace up your boots and set off skyward.

Ascend into sun-drenched terraced vineyards

Climb a narrow footpath that snakes up sunlit hillsides braided with grapevines. Your guide traces the ancient dry-stone walls holding this landscape aloft, some raised by hand more than 1,000 years ago.

Wind through whispering pine forests

Slip into cool pine woods that hush the world above the shimmering Ligurian Sea. Breathe in the clear air as your guide unravels tales of the farmers and fishermen who have shaped this coastline for centuries.

Gaze across the sparkling Cinque Terre Sea

Halt at open belvederes where vineyards tumble toward turquoise waters and pastel villages spill down the cliffs. Your guide reveals how each of the five towns forged its own dialect, patron saint, and vineyard style.

Drift into the hilltop village of Corniglia

Emerge from the trail into Corniglia, the lone Cinque Terre village throned high above the sea. Meander through hushed stone lanes past pastel façades and tiny artisan workshops on the way to your tasting spot.
