The Gulf of the Poets, named after Lord Byron and Shelley who lived here and took inspiration from its beauty, is dominated by Portovenere and the 3 Islands (Palmaria, Tino and Tinetto), which all are part of Unesco World Heritage Sites. The 3 small inaccessible Islands are located just in front of Portovenere, the pearl of the Gulf, and are rich in vegetation and animals. Their beauty, especially at sunset, is breathtaking! With a 1 hour tour, starting from the port of La Spezia (Banchina Revel), I'll guide you through the hidden gems of the Gulf and the 3 Islands: • Torre Scola, a 16th century military fort built at the center of the Gulf and damaged during the Napoleonic wars • Portovenere, the true pearl of the Gulf, with it enchanted village and San Pietro ancient romanic church, known as the world's most beautiful one • "Azzurra" grotto in Palmaria, shining gold at sunset • The Tino old-lighthouse, one of the few remaining in Europe • "Madonna Stella Maris" statue emerging from the sea outside Tinetto • The dismissed cableway used until the II World Wars to load the marble from the local quarry • The many unique military installations from the 1st and 2nd World Wars Other things to note We'll wait for you at the boarding point (HopHop Boat - Piattaforma Galleggiante), 10 minutes before the departure time. From late September forward, I suggest who feels cold to put something warmer on.

My guests will enjoy one of the best views of the hillside in Cinque Terre, enjoy local specialties and listen to my Bach played live on the piano. The focus of this year, 2021, will be J. S. Bach's Goldberg Variations and Six Partitas. I will drive my guests up to my property, inside the National Park of Cinque Terre, where they will visit a young vineyard, learn about the building techniques of the old dry stone walls that are peculiar to this area and hear some historical background of what makes our area so unique. Afterwards, they will taste food, a selection of wines and my homemade lemon liqueurs while enjoying classical piano music played live. Then I will drive them back to the village. In light of the recent global events, I will only be able to accept a maximum of 5 guests per session and the whole event will take place outdoors, on my terrace above the vines, where individual tables will be positioned in such a way as to guarantee the prescribed social distancing. As it will be impossible to organise the event indoors, if the weather does not allow for an enjoyable outdoor setting the event will be cancelled and our guests entirely reimbursed. For updates, check out our website: bachyard.com Bring along your camera, drinking water and an umbrella/blanket according to the weather. During these strange times you are also, unfortunately, required to bring a face mask.

We will meet up in Manarola, and after a quick visit of the village, which will be nice and quiet early in the morning, we will start our adventure by taking a deep breath and hiking up to Volastra, a wonderful hamlet as far off the beaten path as you can get in this area. The hike is straight uphill and it will make you sweat, we promise! There will be plenty of visual rewards along the path, though, because you will get the most spectacular views of Manarola and the sea, almost like you were a drone (only without flying off the rocks!). Then, after approximately 1 hour, we will reach our destination. And there, only there, will you feel like you have earned your well deserved wine tasting. We will drink the wine of one of the greatest local winemakers right on his vineyard while looking at the Mediterranean directly below, almost touching the sky and rejoicing in the power of nature. After the wine tasting, our experience is finished. From Volastra, you can choose to continue on the trail to Corniglia, the next Cinque Terre town, go back down the trail to Manarola, or take the eco-bus down to Manarola at a cost of 2.50 per person. Other things to note Rain can be serious in the Cinque Terre, so if it is raining too heavily, or if the National Park issues a weather alert, we won't be able to do the hike. In that case, we will take the eco-bus up to Volastra at an additional cost of 2.50 per person.

We will leave from the pier in Monterosso at about 10 a.m. You’ll get to admire the colorful five seaside villages from the sea, while we will tell you all about the history, the geographical and cultural curiosities that characterize this region. Meanwhile you’ll enjoy a delicious aperitif with focaccia, pesto and other typical local products, sipping prosecco and listening to music or simply to the sweet sea lapping. We will discover beautiful coves and dive to snorkel in the crystal clear waters of the National Park. After a short glide we will stop in Porto Venere for you to discover this amazing village described by Lord Byron, Shelley, George Sand and other great poets. We will also visit the suggestive Church of San Pietro, an ancient temple with a stunning view on the coastline. During the tour we will also stop for a visit to the quaint village of Vernazza and finish the tour enjoying the local crystal clear sea once more. We will be back in Monterosso by 3/4 p.m. Other things to note New way to Explore 5Terre&PortoVenere is a shared experience that offers the opportunity to meet and socialize with other guests, who are often of different nationalities and cultures.
