Discover the Eroico wines in the place where they are born.
The Heroic Vineyard Wine Tour begins in the village of Vernazza and continues with a scenic but challenging trek to reach the historic Fussà vineyard. Set within the UNESCO-listed Cinque Terre landscape, this experience combines hiking, storytelling, and wine tasting in one of Italy’s most dramatic wine regions.
During the visit, guests learn about heroic viticulture, the tradition of cultivating steep terraced vineyards by hand, and the regeneration of a landscape once at risk of abandonment. The experience includes tasting three different Eroico wines directly in the vineyard, accompanied by local snacks.
This is not a passive tasting. It is a walk, a story, and a place.
