Alto Adige Wine Road

When the vines are tinged in yellow, red and gold and the harvest of grapes begins in the rolling landscape stretching from Nals/Nalles to Salurn/Salorno, you know autumn is moving in for sure.  A Mediterrean climate favors a wide range of grapevines, among whose the native Schiava, Lagrein and the aromatic Gewürztraminer are the most widely produced across the region.

What's the best way to enjoy the Alto Adige Wine Road in autum? On a bike or on foot. And if you combine these outdoor activities with a glass of the finest local Alto Adige wine and South Tyrolean delicacies, it would be even better. On the Wine Road, autumn takes you on a discovery journey of cultural habits and tastes. It replenishes your emotional energy and fills your stomach.

Between September and November, the South Tyrolean Wine Route will bring you special wine moments with the WineAutumn series of events. Because the focus is on enjoyment and knowledge of high-quality local wines. 

From 18 October to 8 November, the 3rd edition of the  Wine Sounds on the Alto Adige Wine Road concert series will take place along the South Tyrolean Wine Route. The protagonists are, of course, wine and its history, but also first-class music within the historic walls of the villages from Nalles to Salorno.

Pleasure is a priority along the South Tyrolean Wine Road. Whether at a historic winery or a traditional inn, at a modern bistrot or at the castle: the wide range of restaurants in the wine villages pamper you with some specially selected dishes. Alpine and Mediterranean cuisine are blended into a delicious mix, with particular  speciality weeks that focus on local asparagus, wild garlic, Pinot Noir wine, seasonal vegetables or chestnuts. These tasty creations are of course accompanied by local wines, often produced in-house. To savour these moments of joy, thanks to the mild temperatures you can even sit outside on a sun terrace in autumn! Or in a wine tavern on one of the winding alleyways of the picturesque wine villages where you can simply enjoy life over an aperitif .

How about a glass of ruby-red Pinot Noir? Noodles made with the eggs from the farm? Honey with the South Tyrolean seal of quality? Or a hand-made wine barrel? In the region of the Alto Adige Wine Road, as in the rest of South Tyrol, you will find a wide range of local, high-quality foods and hand-made everyday objects and art objects. Lots of producers sell straight from the farm where you can sample the treats and get to know the producers. In this way, you will experience moments of delicious flavour as well as exciting insider knowledge about cultivation and processing. With a bit of luck, you can even look over the shoulders of craftsmen at work as they create jewellery, wooden sculptures and baskets while strolling through the village or town. Hand craftsmanship has a long-standing tradition in South Tyrol. High quality and durability are the primary factors, which are achieved through the use of proprietary manufacturing techniques and high-quality raw materials. This allows us to create products that are only available here.
