Highly recommend trying! - Amazing experience! Our host was very knowledgeable. She educated us from origin of grapes and shared stories of the family vineyards that produce the wines. Small, intimate setting and very relaxed vibes. Not to mention delicious local wines, focaccia, salami and pesto! We ended up buying two of the five bottles of wine tasted. Highly recommend trying!

5 out of 5! - My wife and I couldn't be happier with this experience. Being from NYC and having experience with good Italian food, the pesto we were provided with was hands down the best pesto we ever had. The hostess was wonderful, informative about all the wine and just an overall pleasure to be around. Highly suggest doing this experience.

An Unforgettable Ligurian Wine Afternoon - What a delightful afternoon! My girlfriend and I joined a wonderful mother-daughter pair for a Ligurian wine tasting right here in Liguria that completely exceeded our expectations. The wines beautifully showcased the unique character of our local region - from crisp, coastal whites to surprisingly elegant reds that captured the essence of these steep Mediterranean hillsides. Every pour told a story of our terroir. The food pairings were spot-on: vibrant, fresh pesto that tasted authentically local and a beautiful selection of different meat cuts that perfectly complemented each wine. The way the flavors harmonized created those perfect tasting moments you hope for. What made the afternoon truly special was our company. The mother and daughter brought such warmth and expertise, sharing fascinating stories about the local winemakers and regional traditions. Their passion for Ligurian wines was contagious, sparking wonderful conversations that made each tasting even more meaningful. By the end, we felt like we’d discovered hidden gems right in our own backyard. This intimate, authentic experience created exactly the kind of memories that make wine tasting so special. Perfect for anyone wanting to explore the incredible wines of this beautiful coastal region.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
