What to expect
Expect a steady walk uphill through narrow pathways between lemon trees, stopping to learn about traditional cultivation methods. The trail takes roughly 90 minutes with breaks to catch your breath and admire Vernazzo below. You'll finish at the farm's tasting area where you'll sample three to four drinks paired with warm focaccia and local produce. The pace suits most fitness levels, though the terrain is uneven and involves genuine climbing in places.
Good to know
Wear proper hiking shoes—the paths are steep and loose in sections. Start early to avoid afternoon heat. Public transport links are nearby if you need to reach Vernazzo. Not suitable if pregnant or with serious heart conditions. Children under two aren't recommended due to terrain.
