Food & Wine Day Trips in Liguria

Liguria packs an outsized amount of flavour into a short stretch of coastline, where terraced hillsides grow basil, olives and lemons and fishing villages still set their tables by the catch of the day. A day trip here can mean walking lemon groves above Vernazza on the Lemon Tour in Vernazza with Limoncino and Wine Tasting, or spending a half day tasting focaccia, pesto and street food in the caruggi of the old port on the Genoa Gourmet Food Tour: Half-Day Exploration of Authentic Local Flavors. Both show how closely Ligurian cooking is tied to the land and sea right outside the door.
