Local Customs: Winegrowing
  • Tip Rating:
  • Despite the fact that Vernazza (and the rest of the Cinque Terre) have only very limited space, there is still room for winegrowing. All over the place you will see terraces with grapevines and when we were there in September, you could see lots of people harvesting.

    And the result - don't miss to try it!

    Local Customs: Those windows.....
  • Tip Rating:
  • What I liked most about all these villages in Cinque Terre were those green window shutters - designed in a way that allows you to keep the sun away and still have some light and air! Bending outward, with washed clothes hanging outside to dry - this is the typical image for me!

     Another fine new page, Christine! I didn't try the local wines when I was there, so I have a good reason to go back. Hope you are enjoying this great sunny weekend. --- Don
