“We had an Incredible experience at the Barca vineyards! The family vineyards are perched on cliffs overlooking the Cinque Terre coast line. It was amazing sitting there overlooking the Sea tasting their wines and crafting pesto. The whole experience from start to finish was great. They are a small family operation and we loved getting to see their farm, meet the family (including Tito the family farm dog) and soak up the experience. Andrea had us stay later so we could watch a stunning sunset on the cliffs over the water while savoring more wine and pesto. Andrea was very responsive and helpful providing instructions on how to get to…”

3.Denali Primitive Survival – 4hr Easy Hiking & Survival Workshop

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 18 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $259

Join survival guide Jade, also referred to as Jay, for a four-hour forest workshop near Denali National Park. You’ll forage for edible berries and plants, learn what to avoid, practice starting a fire with a shoelace, and help build a debris shelter. Pickup, trekking poles, binoculars, and rain jackets are provided.

“Be sure to have good hiking boots, warm socks and rain jacket. They provide hiking poles if needed (which i needed for my knees). Loved learning more about the edible berries (and eating them), and especially what mushrooms NOT to eat! The debris hut shelter would have been fun to completely build out - but that would have taken the whole time. Jade was fun and engaging and helped our 11 year old with bow drill fire. Lots of info in a short amount of time. A good Intro to Primitive Survival!”
