Craft Beer Tasting in Val di Vara

How it works: Arrive in Torza on your own, meet the beer artisans and visit the brewery tasting the beer, visit the hop fields from May to September
Food/Drinks: Three tastings of beer, a platter of local products
Inclusions: Guided tour, food/drinks
Languages: Italian, English

In the vast lush Cinque Terre inland called Vara Valley, organic growing and breeding are a must, and many local products have found a flourishing revival in their organic production. The cultivation of hops is one of these, carried out by young passionate local producers. In their same business premises, their grandfathers sold water, wine, and spume, and they arranged their first mash and fermentation room. Here also workshops, meetings, and activities are organized to grow awareness about the Val di Vara beer, as well as about other local specialties of the Val di Vara. 

During the two hours long visit, you will

  • visit to the production plants;
  • workshop “Discovering malt and hops”;
  • 3 beers tasting with cold cuts and cheese platter;
  • from May to September, visit to the hop grove.

Unbeschreibliches Erlebnis Es war unbeschreiblich toll und absolut zu empfehlen. Sehr nette Crew, toller Ausflug an unglaublich schöne Buchten, die nur über das Wasser zu erreichen sind. Man hatte genügend Zeit zwischendurch zu Schwimmen und gemeinsam leckere Snacks zu genießen. Wenn wir wieder in der Gegend sind, werden wir wieder buchen. Meine Töchter (15 und 14) und ich kamen auch ohne vorherige Erfahrung gut zurecht.

Un esperienza meravigliosa Un esperienza pazzesca, non solo ci siamo divertiti ma abbiamo scoperto un angolo di paradiso fra cale e calette, acque trasparenti e paesaggi mozzafiato. Inoltre Francesca è una persona fantastica, super informata sul suo territorio e gentilissima, ci ha accolto nella sua barchetta e subito ci ha fatto sentire a nostro agio. Un esperienza indimenticabile che raccomando a tutti!

Una emozione indimenticabile Posto incantevole, vista sul borgo di Portovenere e sul mare, luci e profumi indimenticabili. Il giardino, la simpatia di Rosanna, la sua pazienza nel spiegarci tutti i segreti per fare il pesto sono esperienze che consiglio a tutti. I gesti antichi tramandati da madre a figlia sono un patrimonio che dovremmo custodire con cura. Quando penseremo a questa vacanza ci verrà subito in mente il sorriso di Rosanna e i profumi del pesto appena fatto.

Bello!! Da consigliare Giro stupendo nelle cave. Suggestivo enrrare nelle gallerie scavate nel marmo con un fuoristrada. Panorami unici. Giro molto bello con conclusione nel borgo di colonnato per degustare il famoso lardo

Il Mare nel piatto!! Ci siamo voluti prendere un giorno di pausa in questo Luglio torrido..scappare letteralmente dalla terra rovente! Eh abbiamo fatto bene!! ..ci siamo fatti coccolare per una giornata intera da "Maragià" e il suo team. Siamo stati a giro nel fantastico arcipelago di Portovenere che visto dal mare fa stupire ancor di piú. Ma questo luogo lo abbiamo anche assaggiato eh si!! Perché pranzando a bordo abbiamo potuto sentire il sapore del luogo coi piatti preparati con i pesci appena pescati. Una cucina veramente fantastica ..quando si dice ho sentito il gusto del mare nel piatto!!Grazie!!

Totally recommended, both Poetessa and the bay of the Poets Poetessa is a beuaiful boat and the tour is led with grace and knowledge about the Gulf of the Poets. The area was a total surprise for me and my my family (and dog), we hoped to go to the Cinque Terre but it was not possible as motor boats cannot enter the Cinque Terre Park. Yet the Portovenere and Lerici and La Spezia sea is absolutely worth, with so many possibilities to jump in the water and relax on the many small deserted beaches. And Poetessa takes you to the best ones. Totally recommended.
