Tradiční farmy a obchody v Meranu

“Pröfing” is derived from “grafting” and, in the vernacular, means something like plant refinement. Just as the fruit trees were once refined and furred, today farmer Annemarie lovingly refines the fruits of our farm. In 2014 we decided to farm the Pröfinghof organically. Of course, this also includes biodiversity and so it came about that more and more fruits and vegetables, berries and herbs were planted around our farm. Since 2015 we have also been offering all of these processed treats in the small farm shop!

In our family farm shops we sell: vegetables and fruits of the saison, fruit spread, juices, cyser (apple mead), dried fruit, eggs, and honey from our bees.

Opening times: Telephone enquiry: all-season

We are South Tyrolean drinking water refill point!
The fountain is located in the outdoor area on the farm grounds of the Pröfinghof.
Open 24 hours a day.

Wine tastings every Thursday at 16.00 with registration

Our efforts are focused on the strength and health of the grapes. We want to make wines full of character, individual and which are good for the connoisseur. We achieve this by using cellar technology sparingly, many years of experience and deliberately minimising grape harvests. Ultimately, our own senses of smell and taste decide what we offer our customers. We follow our work in the vineyard and cellar with the knowledge of the positive powers which are in a good authentic wine.

The range of 17 different wines, including award-winning wines such as "Dorado" and "Farnatzer", reflects the quality philosophy of our winery. As a member of the Association of South Tyrolean Quality Vineyards and the Association of Independent Winegrowers South Tyrol, we are convinced that great things can be achieved by working together.

Two generations, four hands, one team. From blossom to harvest, mother and son realise their vision of passionate viticulture and fruit growing. In the cellar, Felix transforms selected grapes into expressive wines. Christine creates the finest distillates in limited editions in the distillery. Four hands, one goal: every sip is pure passion.

Sheep wool raw or dyed with natural products  -  knitting to order

The products are offered at the farmers' markets in the Ulten Valley during the summer months.

Bergauf in Pracupola/Kuppelwies is a small social cooperative in Val d'Ultimo/Ultental Valley, which has set itself the task of buying sheep wool from the farmers of the valley and to process it locally. This results in a valuable, domestic raw material being refined in the valley and creating jobs. Last, but not least, woolly feel-good products are lovingly handmade, which many can enjoy: wool slippers, placemats, seat covers, blankets and gloves.

A traditional vineyard above Braunsberg Castle at the entrance to the Ultental Valley - cultivated organically for 25 years - produces two white wines, a rosé, a sparkling rosé and two red wines in its ancient wine cellars.

Guided tours and tastings during the main saison every Thursday at 4.00 pm or other times by agreement on mobile no. +39 334 929 8716 or +39 335 592 2200. Price: 10,00 Euro.

Just outside Merano, on the way to the Val Venosta a Lagundo, a complex of buildings perfectly in keeping with their surroundings catches the eye. They are decorated in a graceful, highly tasteful manner and almost blend in with the flourishing local vegetation. Anyone who is curious enough to ask the name of this “village” – because that is what it looks like at first sight – will simply receive the answer “That’s FORST”. It is not called the “beer factory” or the “brewery”, but “FORST”. The name is inherently linked with the local area. It stands for tradition and love for nature, but also striving to ensure that the quality of its products remains consistently high. Traditional and modern values go hand in hand, making positive contributions to each other: this is the guiding concept of FORST.

The visits of the FORST Brewery are held every Wednesday from April to October at 14.00 o’clock in German language and every Thursday from June to September always at 14.00 in Italian.

Franz keeps his pigs on the pasture and in the stable on and around his farm, where they have access to clear mountain air and a lot of space to run free.

At the Oberbrunnhof in Quadrat, Caroline Abler and Manuel Laimer sell home-made products and substantial delicacies. Both attach great importance to quality and rarity and have dared to take the step towards self-sufficiency for the sake of agriculture. The farm is home to cows (Tyrolean grey cattle), pigs and chickens. The animals are processed and refined by Manuel himself: in addition to fresh meat there is also home-made Speck. The milk is delivered to the "Sennerei Algund" dairy. The Oberbrunnhof's range of products is expanded with the traditional Paarlbrot from the wood-fired oven (every Saturday; on order). Delicious jams, honey and homemade cheese complete the range. Caroline and Manuel provide their guests with healthy, home-made products directly from the farm.

"Griasst enk, we are Caroline & Manuel!"

Caroline Abler grew up on the Niederhof farm and has worked on her parents' farm since she was a child. Her father taught her traditional Tyrolean cuisine and her mother taught her "Kropfn mochen" (making Krapfen - jam doughnuts) according to her grandmother's secret recipe. 
Her path then led her to enter the hotel and restaurant industry for the first time, until she met her future husband Manuel Laimer and moved in with him to Oberbrunnhof. 
Manuel took over his grandmother's farm at the age of 18 and has been cultivating it with great diligence ever since. Gradually, he worked hard to adapt and renovate the farm to the current conditions. For example, the "old" holiday home, which once belonged to the Oberbrunnhof farm, was rebuilt in 2017. Caroline and Manuel have been offering farm holidays since 2018, because they consider it important for them to combine agriculture and tourism.
Together with their three children Leo, Leni and Michl there is always something to do at the Oberbrunnhof. Once a week the tasks are clearly divided: Manuel bakes bread with the help of a family member and Caroline makes and bakes the farmers' doughnuts that are sold. In winter Manuel uses the time to make sausages and in summer Caroline transforms the fruit into delicious spreads and syrups. The products of Oberbrunnhof are produced with great care and love and guarantee freshness, regionality and quality. 

Arriving at the end of the Pfossental Valley you get to farmstead Vorderkaser (1,693 m a.s.l). The farm, situated in the Texel Group Nature Park, consists of several buildings that were originally built in the 13th century. Today the family of Richard Kofler welcomes guests in the tavern Jägerrast offering typical South Tyrolean dishes as well as quality meat and self-made products of the alpine cheese dairy.

The Bruggerhof is located in the middle of orchards and vineyards. Due to its hilly location, you have a wonderful view of Merano, the surrounding mountains and the entire Adige Valley. The Gamper family has been running the Bruggerhof for over 100 years. After a long-standing passion for the production of liqueurs, they have started selling them on the farm since 2020. In the former cattle barn, which was converted into a tasting room, you can taste and enjoy the fruity and aromatic liqueurs (appointment by telephone).

The 1st bakery of farmhouse bread in Tesimo is opened once a week. On that day you can buy fresh farmhouse bread.

Mathias Lamprecht operates a farmer's distillery at the Lahnerhof where he produces delicious fine distillates.

The farm buildings, which have protected monument status, date from the 12th century and have been owned by the Lamprecht family for over 100 years. Through careful restoration and renovation work, the former laundry room has been converted into today's distillery, in which Mathias Lamprecht produces single-variety spirits from the various fruits growing on the farm.

The historic walls radiate a sense of tradition and history, but above all when tasting the farm's own produce the maker's enthusiasm and warmth can be felt. By arrangement it is possible to undertake a guided tour of the distillery, and taste and buy the fine spirits. In addition there is also a large cellar that is available to use for celebrations.

The alpine dairy of Lagundo offer a rich assortment of local products like cheese, milk, fresh cream, butter and cottage cheese.

All products are high quality and have an unique natural taste. The clients, residents and guests, are enthusiastic of our products. We supply more than 40 shops in Merano every day.

We invite you to visit our shop.
