Overview

Take a walk on one of the lesser-known but most fascinating trails of the Cinque Terre.
After a quick but engaging visit to the town of Vernazza, we will start climbing along the fascinating mule track towards the Sanctuary of the Madonna di Reggio (about 1 hour) at an altitude of 330 meters. During the climb, we will admire beautiful views of the Cinque Terre coast with its characteristic terraces supported by kilometers of dry-stone walls, where olives and grapes are cultivated to produce prestigious wines.
In front of the shaded Sanctuary Square stands a monumental cypress (the oldest in Liguria!) and a majestic leccio.
Before going down, we will visit the fascinating olive grove of Azienda Agricola la Bottega, where Ligure DOP extra virgin olive oil is produced. It will also be an opportunity to visit two cute ponies, which are the mascots of the farm. During the tour you can enjoy a glass of DOC 5 Terre wine accompanied by the typical Ligurian focaccia.

What's included

  • Inside the olive grove or at the Sanctuary there will be a small refreshment based on our 5 Terre DOC wine, extra virgin Ligurian olive oil and typical liqueur, accompanied by typical Ligurian focaccia.
  • Each participant will be provided with a 0.5 liter bottle of water
  • Hiking shoes (mandatory to participate in the excursion)
  • Waterproof jacket

What to expect

    At the established meeting point you will find Alessandro a local licensed hiking guide who will make you discover the secrets of Vernazza.
  2. Santuario di Nostra Signora di Reggio
    2h 40m · Admission ticket included
    From Vernazza we will walk the ancient mule track that in about an hour leads us to the Sanctuary of the Madonna of Reggio. Above every village of the Cinque Terre, a Marian Shrine watches. Each of them preserves the deep roots of the spirituality and culture of the Cinque Terre, to which the inhabitants are bound by a feeling of devotion.
    Just below the Sanctuary we will stop to visit a beautiful recently recovered olive grove belonging to our Azienda Agricola la Bottega, which gives us our Extra Virgin Olive Oil. We will also visit the home of two cute ponies that have become the mascots of our farm.
    Sitting under the shade of a pear tree you can rest for a moment enjoying a quick refreshment based on focaccia, tasting an extra virgin olive oil from Liguria and sipping a glass of wine from the Azienda Agricola la Bottega before embarking again on the descent towards the country.
