Passeggiata guidata: vi porteremo attraverso stradine e passaggi nascosti nello storico e caratteristico borgo di Contovello, dove una volta sorgeva una importante fortificazione, con la torre a controllo della sottostante città di Trieste e del suo territorio. Visita ai vigneti: lasciando il paese inizieremo la passeggiata esplorativa, scendendo le antiche coltivazioni a terrazza con vista sul mare, una caratteristica unica e tipica di questo territorio, un chiaro esempio di agricoltura eroica.
