Exclusive oyster and seafood tasting from the Riviera

A Taste of Liguria: Intimate Seafood Tasting in a Historic Chiavari Home

In the heart of Chiavari’s historic center, where narrow alleys, stone arcades, and pastel-colored buildings open toward the Ligurian Sea, guests are invited into an intimate Genoese-style home for a refined culinary experience. This setting, rich with coastal charm and history, provides the perfect backdrop for an authentic journey into the flavors and traditions of the Ligurian coast.

The experience centers on a guided tasting featuring some of the Gulf of La Spezia’s finest seafood. Carefully selected oysters take pride of place, accompanied by an array of fresh local specialties including red prawns, scampi, anchovies, tuna, and marinated swordfish. Each dish is prepared with respect for traditional Ligurian seafood cuisine, enhanced by subtle contemporary touches that highlight the purity and character of the ingredients.

Throughout the tasting, each course is thoughtfully paired with a glass of Ligurian Vermentino or a local sparkling wine, chosen to elevate the freshness and complexity of the seafood. The pairing brings balance and elegance to the experience, allowing each flavor to unfold fully while reflecting the essence of the coastal region.

Beyond the cuisine, the host shares stories and insights into Liguria’s maritime heritage, from traditional fishing practices to local culinary customs passed down through generations. This immersive experience goes beyond dining, offering a deep connection to the culture, history, and gastronomic identity of the Ligurian coast in a warm and personal setting.
