About Riomaggiore
Riomaggiore's stacked pastel houses and stone stairways grew from a fishing village where recipes were passed down rather than written, so its food and drink experiences tend to be hands-on and personal. You can roll pasta and whip tiramisu in a local kitchen on the Pasta & Tiramisu Cooking Class in Riomaggiore, Cinque Terre, or head into the terraced hills for the Cinque Terre Trekking: Corniglia-Manarola with Gaia's Vineyard Wine Tasting, where the landscape itself explains the wine.

Frequently asked questions
Riomaggiore's culture is tied to its geography: steep terraces, a fishing harbour and generations of families who cooked with what the Ligurian coast provided. The best experiences here are hosted by locals in their own kitchens or on vineyard paths, so you learn the story behind pesto, gnocchi or Sciacchetrà wine rather than just tasting it.
