🥾 New season drops, to sweat (stylishly) in paradise
Looking for that “I-hiked-4km-and-survived” energy with a side of jaw-dropping sea views and wild agave plants?

🎯 In this tour we tackle the legendary SVA 592-3 trail between Corniglia and Vernazza.
That’s 4.1 km, 269 meters of elevation, and about 377 stairs to kick things off.
Because flat terrain is overrated.

🍋 Mediterranean scrub, ancient stone paths, vineyards clinging to cliffs, and the occasional “why am I doing this” moment.
🥵 It’s steep. It’s sweaty. It’s beautiful.
And yes, your legs will remember it for days.

🚫 Flip flops? No.
🥾 Proper hiking shoes? Absolutely.
💪 A decent fitness level? You’ll thank yourself later.

📍 Meet me at Corniglia station Info Point – 9:00 am sharp
⏱ Tour lasts ~3 hours (walking time ~1h40)
👥 Max 10 brave souls
📬 Booking required: [email protected]

Memories from the 94th International Alba White Truffle Fair.

I love very much the experience of presenting and sharing the stage with esteemed guests, while connecting with enthusiasts.
Every year we meet hundreds of truffle lovers and experts from around the world.

I am grateful for the opportunity of being part of such a prestigious event that showcases the essence of our food community and the treasures of our land. Can’t wait for next year’s edition! 🍂🌟

For this I have to thank for involving me, and for renewing their trust and the whole wonder-team ( and each and every partner) for organizing, assisting and supporting us at every step.
