What people are saying about Cinque Terre National Park

It was a lovely experience with Gabriel as our host tasting 3 wines. Each wine was served with excellent snacks, salad with anchovies, bruschetta with pesto, followed by cheeses and fig jam and onion jam. The wines were great but the best part was Gabriel talking about his grandfather who started making wine and opened the cantina. It was a fun hour. Some generous pours and a grandson who appreciated the work of his grandfather.

A wonderful pre-dinner experience. Delicious wines, three tasty amuse-bouches (including homemade pesto bruschetta!), and a knowledge guide walking you through the wine, the food, and his family’s history making wine in Cinque Terre. 10/10 would recommend.

The excursion was amazing, we did the both (because we enjoy so much the first that we decided to retake the one for sunset) It was amazing, the capitain his so cool !!! Absolutely stunning

Good, educational and tasty! The only downside was that we couldn't hear the guide very well because of all the chatter from the guests in the bar. Lots of good wines and snacks

So recommend this personal experience. Loved having the boat almost to ourselves!
