Overview

Experience an authentic Genoese aperitivo inside a small local food shop in one of the most characteristic streets of Genoa’s historic center.

Taste two distinctive Ligurian white wines: Vermentino from eastern Liguria and Pigato from the western Riviera, paired with Genoese focaccia, fresh pesto, and Taggiasca olives.

Unlike a formal wine class, this is a relaxed and convivial experience designed for everyone, including guests with no previous wine knowledge. Discover the stories behind Ligurian flavors and the small local producers represented in the shop.

Groups are limited to six guests, creating a friendly and personal atmosphere just steps from Christopher Columbus’ House, Porta Soprana, and Piazza Sarzano.

What's included

  • One glass of Ligurian Vermentino and one glass of Riviera Ligure di Ponente Pigato per person.
  • Traditional Genoese focaccia served with fresh Genoese pesto and Taggiasca olives.
  • Any additional food or drinks ordered beyond those listed in the experience.
  • Products purchased separately in the shop

What to expect

Meet your host at BioTigullio5Terre, a welcoming local food shop in Via di Ravecca, one of the most characteristic streets in Genoa’s historic center.

Begin your aperitivo with a glass of Vermentino from eastern Liguria, followed by a glass of Pigato from the western Ligurian Riviera. Discover the differences between these two local white wines through a simple and engaging introduction suitable even for guests with no previous wine knowledge.

The wines are paired with a generous serving of traditional Genoese focaccia, fresh Genoese pesto, and Taggiasca olives. During the experience, hear informal stories about Ligurian food traditions and the small local producers represented in the shop.

This is a relaxed and convivial aperitivo rather than a formal wine class. Enjoy the flavors, ask questions, and experience a genuine taste of Liguria in a small-group setting.
