Cantina Capellini
(Winery in )

4.8 (5 Reviews)
Provides 1 wine tasting and winery visit from €45.00
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.

Cantina Sassarini
(Winery in )

L'orizzonte del fondatore della Cantina Sassarini, Natale, era decisamente orientato al futuro. Percepì la qualità e l’interesse economico nella produzione di un vino locale, ancor prima che la DENOMINAZIONE D’ORIGINE, venisse sancita con il disciplinare del 1973. In famiglia tutti facevano vino per l’autoconsumo e Natale deve aver percepito le potenzialità di un mercato vinicolo che poteva svilupparsi negli anni. Costruì, quindi, la sua cantina e raccolse intorno a sé numerosi contadini che coltivavano incessantemente le loro vigne con orgoglio e maestria. Pochi altri seguirono questa strada, ma nell’ultimo ventennio un gruppo di “angeli matti” (cit: Veronelli) ha recuperato le terre dei nonni e dei padri, costruendo muretti a secco e piantando nuovamente la vigna. L’orizzonte di Natale Sassarini sembra ora fondersi nell’orizzonte di tutti i vignaioli delle Cinque Terre e del figlio Giancarlo che ne porta avanti con orgoglio il lavoro cominciato mezzo secolo fa. Il cinquantesimo della Cantina Sassarini può essere la prima pietra per consolidare una tradizione enoica delle Cinque Terre che sino ad oggi è mancata.

Stella di Lemmen
(Winery in )

Stella di Lemmen is a young agricultural project, representing the craftsmanship and love for the soil, the courage to conquer hostile pieces of land and turn them into friends, is the energy to follow your own instinct and dreams. The project, born in 2015, arises on a little upland on the Ligurian Sea and is part and parcel of the Cinque Terre National Park. Works are still in progress: Stella di Lemmen's primary goal is the requalification and the protection of this enchanting corner of the universe which lavishes peace and beauty at every glance. It also instills a deep respect towards nature that surrounds us and supports us always. We feel like passing guests in this place and we’re very honored to be its temporary keepers, knowing there will be no future if we don’t start to give value and to respect our land in every aspect. 

More information on

The territory of Cinque Terre, which literally means “five lands” in Italian, consists of a small coastal area characterized by little villages, colorful houses, dry stone walls and terraced vineyards, all connected by scenic paths overlooking the Mediterranean sea and its crystalline waters. Here, you will be able to enjoy wine tastings in a unique landscape, recognized as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, and learn more about winemaking in Liguria during your winery visits.

During your winery visits in Cinque Terre, you will learn how winemaking in this area is carried out on steep terraced slopes where no machinery can be used, making each glass of wine you’ll taste during your wine tastings very precious. Taste-wise, the proximity to the sea and wind exposure that characterize Cinque Terre’s vineyards give its wines a particular freshness and salinity.

Which food to taste in ?

In most cases, your wine tastings in Cinque Terre will be paired with some local specialties, such as cured meats and focaccia. While in the area, we also recommend trying some of its traditional dishes, such as chickpea farinata, trofie with pesto, fried gianchetti (whitebait), stuffed mussels.

Which wines to taste in ?

Your wine tastings in Cinque Terre will most likely include different types of Cinque Terre DOC, the local appellation, as well as Schiacchetrà, a local fortified wine. Both wines are made with local grape varieties. The most widespread white grape varieties in Cinque Terre are Bosco, Albarola and Vermentino.

Which is the best season to visit ?

Wine tastings and visits to Cinque Terre’s wineries can be organized throughout the year. If you wish to combine your tastings and wine tours with a day at the beach or a hike across Cinque Terre’s trails, then we recommend visiting during the warmer and drier months, between May and September. Visiting around October will instead allow you to admire Cinque Terre in all its gloomy autumnal charm.

What things to do in ?

Cinque Terre’s territory offers many activities, from winery visits to wine tours to hiking and kayaking. While here, we recommend seeing some of Cinque Terre’s most loved sites, like the villages of Monterosso and Riomaggiore, taking a walk on Sentiero Azzurro, the hiking trail that connects the five villages of Cinque Terre, or exploring the area during an e-bike or ferry tour.
