Vineyard Tour with Wine Tasting and Light Lunch near Imperia
Walk among the vines, explore the cellar, and discover the authentic flavors of Ligurian winemaking
This Ligurian vineyard tour offers a genuine introduction to the indigenous grape varieties and traditional winemaking heritage of the hills near Imperia. Guests walk through working vines, visit an active cellar, and sit down to a curated tasting paired with regional foods produced on the estate. The experience is accessible to all levels of wine knowledge and is conducted at a relaxed, unhurried pace.
The estate cultivates indigenous varieties including Ormeasco and Pigato using sustainable agricultural practices designed to protect the local ecosystem. A guided walk through the vineyard opens the visit, with explanation of how each variety is managed through the seasons and why these grapes are central to Ligurian winemaking identity.
The cellar visit follows, offering a behind-the-scenes perspective on fermentation, aging, and bottling methods specific to this producer. The tasting session then brings together four selected wines alongside two regional food boards, local olive oil, and olives harvested from the property.
