Enjoy a delightful one-hour wine-tasting experience in the charming village of Monterosso, where the essence of Cinque Terre winemaking truly comes to life. This exclusive session offers a journey through the unique flavors and philosophies of local winemakers, all hailing from Monterosso itself. You will have the opportunity to taste three distinct wines — a classically crafted Cinque Terre DOC white wine, a naturally and traditionally made local white wine, and the exquisite Sciacchetrà, a rare dessert wine that represents the soul of the region. As you savor these wines, you will learn about the revival of ancient techniques, the influence of the new generation of winemakers, and how such a small region can produce wines with remarkably different personalities and expressions. The tasting will be perfectly complemented by local snacks, including crostini and sweet cantucci paired with the Sciacchetrà, enhancing each sip with authentic regional flavors. This experience is conducted in English, Italian, or Spanish, depending on the composition of the group, ensuring a welcoming and engaging atmosphere for all participants. Please note that a minimum number of guests is required for the activity to take place; if not reached, you will be informed in advance and fully refunded.

My dad got a beer here while I did a tasting flight of 5 wines (white/red/dessert). We are from Sonoma County, so the wines were sub-par. They did give healthy pours for the tasting which was nice. The dessert wine was delicious and we got two bottles to take home. This is their most expensive wine, as I imagine that the majority of what they sell. We got another wine to take back to our AirBnB and ended up pouring it down the drain. The beer my dad drank was okay. The charcuterie and cheese was delicious. We would recommend dining here for their charcuterie and sipping on their dessert wine. We were sat down rather quickly but the service was slow. The waitress was very friendly, but took a long time to help us (as she was very busy). It looked like a family-run business. There was one woman at the check out register sitting there chatting it up with a customer sitting nearby, another man in the back who eventually helped us at the register (also very nice), and the poor waitress doing everything imaginable. For the price per person I am choosing a more expensive option, as the dessert wine we chose was 75€ apiece. The charcuterie was reasonably priced.
We booked the 5 wine tasting with food for each wine. Our host Susy was very welcoming and knowledgeable. The experience was informative, unhurried and extremely enjoyable. We were given an interesting history of the wine growing of the area and how this ties in with the wines we tasted. Food that was served with each wine was very tasty, some slightly unusual but all good quality and well presented. Lovely ambience to the venue. Very good value for money. A highly enjoyable 2-3hours. Would highly recommend.
We very much enjoyed our visit to Enoteca Internazionale. Amazing selection of wines - bought some y the glass and also got a white wine flight. Loved their bruschetta - tomatoes and anchovies was my favourite. I can see why reviews are somewhat mixed. Some waiters are amazing. Some - not so much. We walked up to the place around 12:05. It was open. A male waiter said “service will start in 30 minutes”. We were about to walk away. A female waiter came out and asked if we wanted a table and sat us down straight away. She (Gioia) and another female waitress were lovely. I guess we were lucky we didn’t get the male waiter. Lovely ambiance. Very much what we were after in Monterosso.
We ordered the meat and cheese board for one, desert wine and a beer. They were all okay but the service left a lot to be desired! The most interesting thing was to observe the staff sample multiple plates before dropping them to tables... I have not seen that anywhere before!
I rarely leave negative reviews, but our experience at Enoteca Internazionale in Monterosso al Mare was truly unpleasant. We were excited to enjoy a glass of wine and some local food, but the owner and staff were shockingly rude. We politely asked for a table and were told no without any explanation, even though several tables were visibly free. The dismissive attitude and lack of basic hospitality were disappointing, especially in a place known for warm Italian welcomes. I would not recommend this establishment — there are plenty of other wonderful spots in Monterosso with great service and atmosphere.
