Wine and Oil Route from the Alps to the Sea – Liguria: stone villages, heroic vineyards and olive groves suspended between sky and coast. The Wine and Oil Route from the Alps to the Sea winds through Western Liguria, between the hinterland of Imperia, Albenga and Savona, joining the Ligurian Alps to the Mediterranean coasts. A path that crosses terraced vineyards, centuries-old olive groves, stone villages and views that open up between hills and the sea. An invitation to discover the taste, history and rural landscape of Liguria. 🌿 Landscapes sculpted by agricultural work: Here the land climbs up steep slopes, supported by dry stone walls that preserve native vines and olive trees of the Taggiasca variety. The terraces tell of centuries of effort and ingenuity, in a fragile and fascinating balance between man and nature. 👉 Tip: Visit the hills above Diano Marina or Dolceacqua: you can walk between suspended rows, with the sea in the background and the scents of the Mediterranean scrub around. 🍷 Local wines and authentic flavors: The road crosses production areas of Rossese di Dolceacqua DOC, Pigato, Vermentino and Ormeasco, wines that tell the story of the territory with saline aromas, scents of wild herbs and mineral freshness. The wineries, often family-run, offer tastings and stories of winemakers. 👉 Tip: Stop at a small farm to taste a glass of Pigato with local cheeses and Triora bread: an experience that tastes of real Liguria. 🫒 Taggiasca extra virgin olive oil and rural culture: The olive tree is the undisputed protagonist of the landscape and of the table. The extra virgin olive oil of the Taggiasca variety is delicate, fragrant, light fruity: perfect with vegetables, focaccia, fish and typical Ligurian dishes. The ancient oil mills, many of which are still active, preserve living peasant traditions. 👉 Tip: Visit a historic oil mill in the hinterland of Imperia during the milling season: you will be able to watch the process and taste the freshly pressed oil. 🏞️ Villages, ridges and scenic roads: The route crosses medieval villages such as Apricale, Lingueglietta, Cervo and Toirano, where time seems to have stopped among caruggi, stone loggias and the scent of basil. The scenic roads offer spectacular views of the coast and the Ligurian Alps. 👉 Tip: Follow the Wine Route between Albenga and Arnasco: an evocative itinerary through vineyards, olive trees and sudden views of the sea, also perfect by bike. 🚶 ♀️ Experiences between taste, nature and hospitality: The Wine and Oil Route is also a way to experience the area slowly: excursions on foot or by e-bike, guided tours of wineries, educational oil mills, pesto workshops, seasonal harvests and popular festivals. Each stage is an encounter with authentic people, landscapes and traditions. 👉 Tip: Take part in a walk through the olive trees with tasting at sunset: golden light, genuine flavors and stories of the area will accompany you until the evening. From the Alps to the Sea, Liguria tells its story with the voice of its cultivated slopes, its suspended villages and its intense flavors. A journey where every curve is a point of view and every taste, a story.
