Bisson Winery was established in 1978 by Pierluigi Lugano, a Master of Arts and esteemed sommelier, who recognized the untapped potential in Ligurian wines. Inspired by his childhood experience of making wine, Pierluigi began purchasing grapes from local farmers along the Eastern Ligurian coast. Through innovative winemaking techniques, he revived native varietals like "Bianchetta Genovese" and "Ciliegiolo" and introduced new creations like "Musaico." Today, Bisson Winery owns its vineyards, ensuring full control over quality and cultivating with minimal pesticide use to guarantee authenticity and excellence.

Provides 1 wine tasting and winery visit from €60.00
Cantina Capellini is a family-run winery with a legacy of winemaking that spans seven generations. Located in the charming hilltop village of Volastra in the Cinque Terre, the winery is currently led by Luciano Capellini, who learned the art of winemaking from his father, Oreste, and his grandfather, Bernardo. Luciano is joined by his son, Mirco, who, despite being raised in Parma, has always considered this slice of the Ligurian coastline home, and Mirco’s wife, Laura. Volastra, where the Capellini family has always lived, is a village that has gracefully adapted to the influx of tourism while preserving its soul. It is a place where ancient farming and winemaking traditions remain central to its identity. The village offers breathtaking views—from the sky above to the sea below — and is surrounded by vineyards supported by legendary dry stone walls. This unique landscape, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997 and designated a National Park in 1999, provides the perfect backdrop for the Capellini family’s winemaking endeavors. At Cantina Capellini, wine is made with the same patience and dedication passed down through generations, blending traditional techniques with modern advancements in viticulture and winemaking. The winery has recently undergone a gradual digital transformation, introducing small but effective changes while staying true to its core values. A longstanding dream of creating a wine tasting space directly in the vineyards overlooking the sea has also been realized, offering a special place where travelers and wine enthusiasts can gather to enjoy and appreciate the family’s homegrown products.
