In Riomaggiore visit a scenic local winery, learn about Cinque Terre’s ancient wine-making traditions, and enjoy a premium tasting of local wines. Wine tasting is available for an additional €70 per person. The tour includes round-trip transfer between the cruise terminal and train station, but does not include the Cinque Terre day pass.
