About Vernazza
Vernazza is the Cinque Terre village that still feels lived-in: a tight knot of pastel houses around a small harbour, with terraced vineyards climbing steeply behind it. Much of what you can do here is rooted in that landscape and its produce, from the Vernazza: Hike Heroic Vineyards with Local Wine Tasting to the Lemon Tour in Vernazza with Limoncino and Wine Tasting, both led by locals who work these slopes. It is also an easy base for boat trips and cooking classes elsewhere in the Cinque Terre.

Frequently asked questions
Vernazza is small and popular, so guided hikes, boat tours and cooking classes fill up well ahead in summer and around public holidays. Book at least a few weeks out for peak season, and earlier for private tours or anything with a fixed departure time. Spring and early autumn are quieter and easier to book at short notice.
