Holidays on the Alto Adige Wine Road

Embraced by grape vines, medieval castles and modern vineyard architecture

Set in the heart of South Tyrol's greatest vineyard between Nals/Nalles and Salorno/Salurn and spanning 150 km, the Alto Adige Wine Road intertwines centuries of winegrowing tradition with the southern way of life. Spend your holidays in South Tyrol: spring comes early here. Lemons, figs and olives grow in the gardens of historic residences, magnificent castles and endless vineyards. In the past and today, impressive architectural buildings were built for the processing and tasting of wine. Experience the awakening of nature on leisurely walks along Kalterer See lake or on a long bike ride through the blossoming landscape and charming wine villages.

 

Don't miss this out

While somewhere else in South Tyrol is still winter, the first flowers have already peeped up through the snow on the Alto Adige Wine Road. Walk in medieval forts and castles or stroll down the historic alleys of Neumarkt/Egna, one of the country's finest villages in Italy. Get exploring this wine-growing region on foot or by bike.

 

Home to international and autochthonous grape varieties. Genuine hospitality. A living winegrowing tradition. Southern good life.

Culinary Spring Weeks

From the end of March to the end of June, exquisite wines and local specialties can be tasted in the villages between Nals/Nalles and Salorno/Salurn as well as in the wine city of Bolzano/Bozen

Bolzano/Bozen: a winegrowing city

A good drop of Lagrein or St. Magdalener? That’s Bolzano/Bozen in a wine glass

Bolzano and the vineyards belong together: grapes have thrived in the Bolzano/Bozen valley basin since primeval times thanks to the optimal conditions for producing this exquisite wine. On the gravel soils of the Eisack, Etsch and Talfer rivers, which meet in the capital, the autochthonous velvety Lagrein thrives particularly well. And on the sunny slopes of St. Magdalena, Justina and Leitach, the delicately fruity St. Magdalener flourishes. The saying “Venice swims on water, Bolzano swims on wine” may seem strange at first. However Bolzano is more than just one of South Tyrol’s largest winegrowing communities and part of the Alto Adige Wine Road; it is also one of Europe’s biggest wine-producing towns. Bolzano’s wine culture can be experienced at the many wineries and vineyards and the newly designed Cantina Bolzano winery is a must for architecture enthusiasts.

On the traces of wine

If walking is not up your alley, you can explore the Alto Adige Wine Road and its excellent wines on a bike tour.

What can I see and do in the Alto Adige Wine Road region?

The Alto Adige Wine Road runs through a gently rolling hilly landscape and 16 villages, past vineyards, forts and castles, historic residences and to the soaring rock where the Haderburg castle is located. About 25 km south to the province's capital of Bolzano/Bozen lies Neumarkt/Egna, one of the country's finest villages in Italy and the best Pinot Noir growing area. In this charming medieval town, you can stroll down cobbled streets, under medieval arcades, in quiet courtyards and past Venetian-style buildings.

On the other side of the Adige river valley, where local products like apples and wine thrive on fertile banks, rises the wine village of Tramin/Termeno, after which the popular Gewürztraminer wine was called. You can discover the wine origins while walking on the Gewürztraminer trail, flanked by picturesque vineyards and  offering stunning views of the mountains and Tramin. The Alto Adige Wine Road has always been a popular place to linger. No matter if on a hike or bike tour: on the Festenstein circular hike and the Terlan-Lana bike tour, you can see the Festenstein castle and the Maultasch castle ruins for yourself , both perched on a rock.

South Tyrol's culinary scene

Excellent culinary offerings are of utmost importance along the Alto Adige Wine Road. Whether at a historic winery, traditional innmodern bistrot or castle, you'll always taste the superb foods of South Tyrol and its local specialties. Alpine and Mediterranean cuisine are blended harmoniously and especially during the specialty weeks the flavor combinations with local asparagus on the Terlaner Spargelzeit , wild garlic, Pinot Noir wine, seasonal vegetables or chestnuts can be found. These local delights are inevitably paired with local wines. Mild temperatures provide ideal conditions for sitting on a sunny terrace and drinking your aperitivo. And if you want to have your aperitivo somewhere else, you can stop at one of the wine taverns located in the winding alleyways.

Locally sourced and enjoyed

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.
