Philosophy and Tradition

Our family business is set in the midst of the South Tyrolean Alps at an altitude of 850 m. Our name stands for tradition; we have produced essential oils and herb products for four generations. Our raw material derives from high alpine altitudes and is ethically supported by the surveillance of rangers in order to maintain the balance of pasturage. Our customers can trust our traditional knowledge, which allows us to produce pure, high-quality essential oils. The herbs cultivated derive from our own produce, according to organic, certified agriculture. In order to maintain the plants’ energy, which determines the high quality of our products, our customers can trust our handcrafted produce from harvest to filling. Our 110-year-old tradition as well as our produce and harvest according to the moon calendar allow us to do so. We are dedicated to obtaining not just quantity but also high quality-produce. Our concern is to offer our customers 100% pure and high quality essential oils and herb products that contain a high proportion of herb ingredients and agents. Satisfied and regular customers confirm our commitment to develop products that are natural and free of harmful synthetic chemicals.
Attention: The oil distillery is currently closed.

The Pitzner winery, located just above Kardaun, produces wines of distinctive character. The two Pitzner brothers cultivate a total of five hectares in five different individual locations, with healthy, middle-aged vines, well-ventilated sites, ideally nourished soils and a special microclimate. In the 700-year-old wine cellar, tangy, elegant wines are made with great passion and innovative spirit. There are guided tours of the winery every Thursday followed by wine-tasting (approx. 2 hours).
Reservation required.

The estate lies at the heart of the Lagrein and Pinot Nero area in the historic village centre of Auer: it is run by Clemens Waldthaler, the seventh generation of his family to do so. The high quality of the wines is the result of the consistent quality philosophy applied both in the vineyard and the cellar. 30% of production is represented by white wines such as Pinot Bianco, Pinot Grigio and Sauvignon Blanc, while the rest is made up of red wines, such as Pinot Nero, Lagrein, Merlot, and Cabernet. The best of the Lagrein, Merlot and Cabernet grapes are vinified and bottled under the RAUT brand, a registered trademark.

The Guggenbräu beer firm is located in Avigna/Afing at an altitude of 960 m and was first mentioned in 1379. It has been family-owned for 198 years. The main activity was dairy farming, products such as butter and eggs were sold on the market in Bolzano and milk was delivered to the dairy. Unfortunately, this activity was no longer profitable and so they looked for alternatives. The idea of ​​brewing beer arose from the wild hop plants that have always been climbing up a wall above the courtyard. Grain was grown in the fields around the farm before, so it was nothing new for Hans. So again, barley and wheat were cultivated for the farm's own beer production. In 2019, 7 different aroma hops were grown, which can bring a wide variety of exciting aromas to beer. As we had all the raw materials we needed for a purely agricultural beer, we started selling in autumn 2020.

In the heart of Santa Maddalena lies the Waldgries manor in Bolzano. It was mentioned in a document for the first time in 1242, and is therefore one of the oldest estate wineries in and around Bolzano.

Winegrowing has been carried out here for around 700 years. In the sundrenched vineyards that lie directly at Waldgries Manor, the grape varieties of Schiava, Lagrein, and Red Muscat find the best terroir thanks to the Mediterranean climate. Among the total of 7.2 hectares which Christian Plattner tends are also grape growing areas in Ora and Appiano-Monte, in the latter of which are planted Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Blanc. The results are multilayered wines, not least of which is Santa Maddalena which is given particular attention here and which is in fact among the wines of Alto Adige with the richest tradition and the most significant history.

A piece of new old history is written by the Antheos Santa Maddalena classico, a mixed vinestock that had nearly died out which was newly planted here around ten years ago and allows us to experience a voyage into the past in a bottle. On the artistically arranged wine path that leads directly from the parking lot through the estate, visitors can experience everything that is interesting and worth knowing about Waldgries Manor.

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.

Visitors to the breathtaking Merano valley can enjoy the unique beauty of a place where nature and a masterful human touch come together to create extraordinary harmony.

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. There is no guided tour available i English. Participation is possible by prior telephone arrangement at 0039 0473 260111. There is also a shop in the brewery, where you can buy souvenirs.

“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

The Weissenhof in Vilpian is an old farm that has been growing apples for over 700 years. The production of apple juice began in 1984, rather by chance for family needs. First the neighbors were also interested, then various bars and hotels in the area. Today the naturally turbid apple juice is sold beyond the country's borders. The range has been expanded to include various apple-fruit juices, vinegar and the apple-mulled mix, popular in winter. The production facilities were refined and adapted to the times. Only hand-picked apples are used for the apple juice, no windfalls. The juice is gently pasteurized, not filtered and is free from additives.

The Bessererhof is the most southern winery in the Eisacktal and it`s located in Völs am Schlern.

The Franz Haas Wineryhas endeavoured to show the wines it produces always in the best light. It was established in 1880 and has been handed down through the generations up to now to a Franz Haas. Around 55 vine-planted hectares are worked, subdivided among owners, renters and assignees.Franz Haas has always been recognised as a great enthusiast and cultivator of themost difficult vine, one that is the most sensitive and repays the greatest: the Pinot Nero. Not withstanding all the attention, the brainpower, the work, the product isn’t always at the same level as its origins, so the selection oft he Pinot Noir, called „Schweizer“, isn’t always put on the market.

The soil is the origin. The maintenance of his natural fertility and vitality is a duty. The production of wines - as natural as possible - is the goal. - Patrick Uccelli

In our family-run tenuta we work according to the guidelines of Bioland and Demeter. The bio-dynamic principles, the farm animals and beneficial insects accompany us through the seasons.
