Walk from Levanto’s bay into terraced vineyards, climb Monte delle Streghe, and finish with a tasting of three DOC wines and local specialties. This two-hour, 7 km sensory trek combines coastal views, rural history, and hands-on tasting in the Vallata di Levanto.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step out of Levanto's salty air and follow a sun-warmed path that climbs into terraced olive groves and vine-trained slopes. The trail narrows, the sea drops away, and the ridge called Monte delle Streghe opens a raw panorama — wind and rock that have shaped local life for centuries.
