This summer, Grand Hotel Portovenere introduces a new way to experience the beauty of the Ligurian coast—with a private, in-suite wine tasting available exclusively in the iconic Suite dei Poeti. Set against the stunning backdrop of the Gulf of Poets, this bespoke experience invites guests to indulge in the region’s finest wines, surrounded by refined design and panoramic views.
The Suite dei Poeti, already one of the most sought-after accommodations on the coast, now features a custom in-suite wine cellar, transforming the suite into a private wine sanctuary. Guests are invited to enjoy a guided tasting with the hotel’s sommelier, all from the comfort of the suite’s elegant living area. The windows frame a breathtaking panorama—from Palmaria Island to the Apuan Alps—offering a sensory journey that extends beyond taste and into sight and atmosphere.
The curated selection includes local and regional treasures such as the legendary Sciacchetrà, a golden-hued dessert wine from the terraced vineyards of Cinque Terre. Known for its complex aroma and artisanal production, Sciacchetrà is a symbol of the region’s heroic viticulture—where grapes are harvested from steep, cliffside vineyards overlooking the sea.
Guests may choose two premium wines and one champagne, carefully selected to suit their preferences. Whether it’s a crisp white from the Cinque Terre DOC, a bold Ligurian red, or a celebratory flute of bubbles, each tasting is personalized and professionally guided for an immersive and intimate experience.
The suite itself is a celebration of Italian elegance. Hand-crafted walnut furnishings, brushed oak floors, and custom glass details reflect the region’s artisanal heritage. A free-standing tub, glass-walled shower with chromotherapy, and two private bathrooms enhance the sense of luxurious retreat. Read the interview with the architect Virginia Neri.
With this new offering, Grand Hotel Portovenere continues its commitment to creating meaningful, place-based experiences that reflect the essence of Liguria—where nature, culture, and hospitality come together in perfect harmony.
