Day 1 - ​Benvenuto!
​Begin your adventure in an impossibly charming boutique hotel in Santa Margherita Ligure where direct views of the calm sea set the tone for your stay. Your personal tour assistant will be waiting to tell you all about our upcoming journey. You’ll check in, relax after our travel day and start feeling the Italian way of life at our welcome dinner. Then a taste of La Dolce Far Niente (the sweet art of doing nothing) which is just perfect after a long flight!

Day 2 - Portofino and Beyond
One can't (and shouldn't) skip ALL the hotspots!
There are good reasons why they are popular. Portofino is GORGEOUS. You'll travel by ferry to picturesque Portofino and surrounding less-frequented villages where the idyllic charm of coastal Italy is revealed. Along with seeing enchanting coves and historical abbeys, you'll indulge in authentic local cuisine and wines, each dish a celebration of commitment to
Liguria's unique culinary heritage.

​



Day 3 - Enchanting Cinque Terre - from the sea
You’ll float on a gorgeous boat and take in the colorful villages perched amidst vineyards and olive groves. Then you'll stop and go on land for a leisurely picnic lunch where the dishes and wines are as storied as the landscape, showcasing the best that the Cinque Terre has to offer. And weather permitting, a relaxing afternoon or sunset ride home with ​some time to swim.

​



​Day 4 - The Essence of Genoa
You delve into the old-world charm of Genoa, a city where time seems to stand still. Palaces, art and delicious foods are waiting for you. Let the intricate web of ancient streets and the flavors of ancestral dishes be your guide
to this underrated city's enduring soul.

​Day 5 - Culinary Exploration in Rapallo
In beautiful Rapallo, you’ll immerse yourself in a hands-on pesto making experience, blending tradition with taste. And you’ll explore the local markets and meet artisans whose passion for food and craft define the culture of this vibrant town.

​



​Day 6 - The Spirit of Chiavari
Walk the avenues of Chiavari, a locale unspoiled by time's march. Here, tradition thrives and the authentic appeal is found within the enduring tastes and techniques cheerfully passed down through generations.
​Absolutely fascinating history and culture here.

​Day 7 - Olive Oil Tasting and Coastal Farewells
Your journey concludes amongst the olive groves of a local family estate, where the flavors of their harvest deepen your connection to the Riviera.
