  • Wine Tasting

Discover a metropolitan vineyard where you can taste Valpolcevera wine, an ancient production confirmed by a bronze tablet dating back to 117 bc and described by Stendhal, who praised Bianco di Coronata in his book Italian Journey. The winery we will visit cultivates 4 hectares of vineyards in Morego, the production area of Bianco di Coronata. The vines are planted 150 meters above sea level on sandy marble soil, and 3 hectares in Serra Riccò on clay soil, in order to find the clones of true Bianchetta, which was a difficult research task. After visiting the vineyard, we will go to the winery, owned by an ancient Genoese family, where we will learn about production techniques and taste Genoa wine paired with the inevitable salami and focaccia!

This was a wonderful experience and Claudia was a gracious host and wonderful chef. I would highly recommend her as well as the Caesarine experience. It will give you a whole new perspective on the community and culture of an area.

My husband and I went with Claudia for the market and food tour and had a blast! We learned about some history of Genova in the surrounding area, got to visit the produce, cheese, and spice stands at the Mercato Oriental, and tasted some focaccia. Claudia also took us around the market area for some history, and we were able to see some old palaces and stonework. She also went out of her way to recommend various enotecas where we can buy wine. We’d highly recommend a tour with Claudia!

Claudia was a very good guide

Claudia was great. She started by explaining a bit of Genova’s history and introducing me to the historic shops (botteghe) that have been around for 70-200 years selling the same type of merchandise or belonging to generations of the same family. We sampled various types of focaccia and then hit the Oriental Market. The produce and fruit were beautifully arranged. As Claudia explained what some of them were, she would suggest ways of cooking and eating them—it made me want to stay in Genova to sample everything. She even introduced me to some local wine that went perfectly with focaccia. Don’t miss Claudia when you come to Genova!

My wife and I had a fantastic walking tour of Genoa with Claudia. The tour included many historical sites as well as some local food hot spots.

I love preparing the traditional dishes of my wonderful region. From trenette pasta with Genovese pesto to Ligurian-style rabbit, fresh tomato bruschetta from the garden to spaghetti with clams. Among other dishes, I offer savory pies, vegetable frittatas from the garden, and ratatouille. All are accompanied by excellent local wines, which I enjoy discussing and sharing their stories, as I am also a sommelier.
