I will wait for you at the entrance to the town of Volastra to accompany you on a visit to our cellar where we will explain the main winemaking processes, our history and the origins of Cinqueterre wine. We will explain the differences from a production point of view in the making of our different types of wine: BarCa Cinqueterre doc", sea wine that fully represents the Cinqueterre, "Memento" wine, macerated wine that comes from a selection of our oldest vineyards and "Rosaluna" wine, rosé wine. After the visit to the cellar, you will be accompanied on a tour of the vineyards along the Manarola-Volastra path. In the vineyard we will explain the different differences between the three grape varieties of the Cinqueterre: Bosco, Arbarola and Vermentino. Then we will taste the three types of wine: BarCa Cinqueterre DOC, Memento white wine and Rosaluna rosé wine directly in the vineyard, a unique and unmissable experience to enter and learn about the world of wine.

Nice Time with a trek of a walk
The experience was nice the only negatives were that the walk to the seating was down a steep mountain path and this is not easy for those who have a hard time with steep steps and dirt paths. I wish the pesto was a bit more in quantity it was a small tasting. The hosts were nice and it was a good time. The scenery was beautiful.

Lifetime experience - exceptional wine
Wine tasted excellent, spot with devine view and nice guidance and company. Focaccia served was a bit to dry. The rest five stars deluxe. Thank you 🙏

Amazing view!! Read for bus instructions!
This was an incredible view for a cooking class!! A word to the wise… getting a bus to the cooking class was confusing. We were coming from another city and didn’t realize we needed to buy the bus tickets down at the train station so don’t make the same mistake we did! We got conflicting information from shop owners around the bus saying that we could get tickets at a takeaway shop by the bus stop, but they only took euros and we only had a card! Train station took a card (and don’t forget you need 2 sets of tickets for getting there and getting back). The view was great and we would do again, but wish someone had given us bus advice so we weren’t late to the class The host was gracious to allow us (and a big part of our group) to get there 30 mins late!

Why this scores 74
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
BarCa Winery Cinqueterre Trekking & Wine Tasting & Pesto Class: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cinque Terre.
How much does BarCa Winery Cinqueterre Trekking & Wine Tasting & Pesto Class cost?
+
Prices start at $74 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cinque Terre usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does BarCa Winery Cinqueterre Trekking & Wine Tasting & Pesto Class take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Cinque Terre is not rushed.
Is BarCa Winery Cinqueterre Trekking & Wine Tasting & Pesto Class worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 60 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cinque Terre, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule BarCa Winery Cinqueterre Trekking & Wine Tasting & Pesto Class?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is BarCa Winery Cinqueterre Trekking & Wine Tasting & Pesto Class suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book BarCa Winery Cinqueterre Trekking & Wine Tasting & Pesto Class?
+
Around 21 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Cinque Terre can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Cinque Terre and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does BarCa Winery Cinqueterre Trekking & Wine Tasting & Pesto Class start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Cinque Terre within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Cinque Terre?
+
On Outty we rank every Cinque Terre experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Cinque Terre and Pisa Tower Small-Group Day Trip from Florence, Cinque Terre Hybrid Boat Tour from Monterosso, From Florence: Cinque Terre & Pisa Day Trip. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Cinque Terre?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Cinque Terre?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in BarCa Winery Cinqueterre Trekking & Wine Tasting & Pesto Class?
+
Included: Alcoholic beverages. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for BarCa Winery Cinqueterre Trekking & Wine Tasting & Pesto Class?
+
Via montello 304 in Volastra, I will wait for you at the entrance of our cellar. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is BarCa Winery Cinqueterre Trekking & Wine Tasting & Pesto Class offered in?
+
It is offered in English and Italian. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for BarCa Winery Cinqueterre Trekking & Wine Tasting & Pesto Class?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is BarCa Winery Cinqueterre Trekking & Wine Tasting & Pesto Class wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to BarCa Winery Cinqueterre Trekking & Wine Tasting & Pesto Class if the weather is bad?
+
This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
What do travelers say about BarCa Winery Cinqueterre Trekking & Wine Tasting & Pesto Class?

Across 60 reviews averaging 4.9 out of 5, recurring themes include photo opportunities, food and drink. The views and photo stops come up again and again. One thing to know: Expect real walking or climbing: reviewers mention the effort involved.
