TERRA VINEA Wine Tasting

Wine Watercolor Painting Workshop in Cinque Terre

Painting with wine

Immerse yourself in an incredible, creative, and sensory experience where wine becomes color: vibrant, sustainable, and beautifully unpredictable. Guided by a professional watercolor artist, you will learn to paint on high-quality paper using unique, natural pigments derived from local wine reductions and pure wine.
During this hands-on art workshop in Riomaggiore, you will create custom postcards and unique artworks inspired by the breathtaking landscapes of the Cinque Terre. It is the perfect blend of wine culture and creativity, taking place in a relaxed, authentic, and convivial atmosphere.
At the end of the session, you will have a tangible, eco-friendly keepsake to take home or a beautiful handmade postcard to mail to a loved one—a true piece of Liguria painted with its most famous nectar.

Mindful Wine Tasting & Sensory Meditation in Cinque Terre

Meditative tasting

Discover a transformative way of wine tasting through conscious breath, centering, and heightened sensory awareness. This unique meditative experience is designed to completely reset your palate and mind, preparing your senses to discover hidden nuances and entirely new ways of perceiving wine.
The tasting unfolds in two distinct, contrasting moments:

  • The Initial Tasting: You will first taste a local wine to capture your immediate, everyday impressions.
  • The Guided Meditation: You will then be led through a brief breathing and sensory awareness practice to quiet the mind and sharpen the senses.
  • The Mindful Tasting: Tasting the exact same wine afterward reveals a fascinating shift—unveiling deeper nuances, clearer aromas, and rich sensations that previously went completely unnoticed.

Immerse yourself in this innovative sensory journey in Riomaggiore, where mindfulness meets the authentic wine heritage of Liguria.
