How do you prepare for this adventure? First you walk, and practice stopping suddenly. So that you'll be ready for the spontaneous views - colorful villages clinging to cliffs with waves crashing below. The scenery will arrest you mid-step, so be ready. Then pick the most delectable Chianti you can find. It won't match the Classico you'll sip in Panzano but it's good practice. Finally get your fill of just-off-the-boat fresh seafood, hearty pork and beef, friendly people, rows of cypress, warm sunlight, patch-work hills and the blue Mediterranean. And you've got a good start.

    Two distinct and beloved regions of Italy in one amazing trip
    Hike the Cinque Terre's spectacular coastline, with brightly colored cliffisde villages
    Outstanding seafood by the Mediterranean and simple hearty fare in Chianti
