Cinque Terre hosts I Vini dell’Amore on 3 October

The first I Vini dell’Amore wine tasting will bring local producers to Cinque Terre on 3 October 2026, placing the event on the Via dell’Amore between Riomaggiore and Manarola. The programme links the route with the vineyards, dry-stone walls and terraced slopes of this coastal landscape.

Organised by the Pro Loco associations of Riomaggiore and Manarola, the event is presented in collaboration with the Municipality of Riomaggiore and the Cinque Terre National Park. It gives visitors to La Spezia province a fixed autumn date connected directly with the place’s agricultural identity.

I Vini dell’Amore brings 24 producers to the coastal route

I Vini dell’Amore will take place from 5pm to 8pm on 3 October 2026. The tasting will include 23 wineries belonging to the Cinque Terre Winegrowers Association and the local social winery, making 24 producers in total. The organiser says the event will allow visitors to meet producers and taste wines associated with the area’s steep, terraced cultivation.

The Via dell’Amore will have entrances from both Riomaggiore and Manarola. It will be accessible free of charge from 4pm to 8pm on 3 October 2026, while participation in the tasting is a separate activity. The arrangement gives non-participants a defined access period on the route at the same time as the wine event.

The event page describes the tasting as a meeting point for wine, farming and landscape. That connection matters at this venue because the route sits within a territory where vineyards occupy difficult slopes and agricultural work remains closely linked to the maintenance of terraces and dry-stone walls. Event details for 3 October identify the date, route and participating producers.

Why the Via dell’Amore fits Cinque Terre’s cultural landscape

The Via dell’Amore is a path between Riomaggiore and Manarola, two of the five villages that give the area its collective name. The other three are Monterosso, Vernazza and Corniglia. Their compact settlements and surrounding terraces developed on a steep section of the Ligurian coast.

UNESCO describes the wider property as a cultural landscape shaped by continuous human settlement over the past millennium. Its terraces support vines and olive trees, while the dry-stone walls reflect the practical response to uneven terrain. The wine tasting therefore places a current event inside a landscape whose agricultural structure is part of its heritage value. UNESCO’s cultural landscape description records the relationship between the villages, terraces and coast.

The World Heritage property was inscribed in 1997. The National Park followed in 1999, after the regional park was transformed into a national park. These dates provide context for an event that presents local wine producers not as a separate attraction, but as part of the continuing work and settlement pattern that shaped the coast.
