Plus, enjoy the chance to savor the estate's variety of wines and exquisite local cuisine during a farm-to-table lunch with wine pairings. Take a tour of the estate and its vineyards before stepping underground to the cellars, designed by RCR Aranda Pigem Vilalta Architects.

The design allows very little light to enter, which allows the wines to be kept in a dark and quiet environment.  Next, learn about the wine-making processes and taste a variety of wines, including rosé, white, and red. Afterwards, enjoy a delicious Catalan farm-to-table meal composed of organic products grown on the estate, including milk cheeses, oil, and jam, all paired with the estate's extraordinary wines. Appreciate the produce from organic farming, additionally, they also have a professional shepherd who takes care of the animals, and who is responsible of maintaining the balance of the natural resources of their lands. At the end of the day, return to the ship with unforgettable experiences and a newfound appreciation for Bell Lloc's philosophy rooted in the land and their Eco philosophy.

Cinque Terre, a UNESCO World Heritage Site is also a National Park and Protected Marine Area.  Clinging to the Ligurian cliffs on the west coast of Italy are five castles at nearly the same distance from one another - Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola, and Riomaggiore. Today you will see two of these sites as the ancient mariners had - from the sea. Depart from the pier heading to Cinque Terre, or five lands, and marvel as you approach the beautiful coast with villages suspended above the sea, almost defying gravity. Pass the scenic Tigullio Gulf and Poet's Gulf, with terraced vineyards alive with the aroma of olive trees blended with the fresh ocean breeze.  Arrive at the village of Vernazza, where you will disembark the vessel and begin a guided walking tour of this 1st century village. Notice the richness of its architecture, which evinces a wealthier standard of living than that of other villages. Following your tour, you will have free time to browse the local shops or enjoy a cafe. Reboard your boat and proceed to the next stop, the most westerly village and Cinque Terre's beach town, Monterosso.

You will pass elegant villas nestled among rich tropical vegetation and olive trees. If your tour starts heading towards Paraggi, you will walk along the coastline and then hike up towards Acquaviva and Molini, where an old olive oil mill has been restored, now housing a little museum, a café, and toilets. The path leads the way through the Mediterranean flora, vineyards and olive groves. Vegetation hugs the medieval dwellings and the cliffs drop off to the crystal-clear sea, making this one of the most fascinating locations of the Riviera. Continue walking on to Santa Anna and Nozarego and finally you will arrive at the main promenade of Santa Margherita Ligure. Santa Margherita’s colors, the arrangement of its characteristic houses, its rich villas and great hotels have painted around its bay something similar to a magical reflection.

No shorts, t-shirts without sleeves or baseball caps inside the churches. Large bags, backpacks and metal or pointed items are not allowed.  The order of sites visited may be adjusted anytime and without prior notice for security reasons. The Sistine Chapel and St. Peter's Basilica may close without prior notice. Should this happen we will provide free time instead.
