Local producers and farm shops in Meran/Merano and environs

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.

If you sit in the Bad Egart restaurant, you can see the huge shelf filled with numerous jars of jelly and curved with delicious loads. Janett Platino not only refines her own harvest from the vegetable garden, but also sweet fruit spreads of different flavours and compositions that you won't find elsewhere in any othe store.

Shop of homemade goodies: chutney, jams, herb salt. All the herbs and fruits are from the own garden.

Homemade jams, cider and juices, organic apple blossom honey, organic forest blossom honey and Italian cantucci - prepared and refined with love - the Laimer family prepares all these special delicacies for their guests. So you can stock up here!

The organic winery Stachlburg has been working in an organic and organic way since 1998 and is a member of "Bioland" and the"independent winegrowers of South Tyrol".

The organic wine estate was founded in 1990 by planting Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. A few more varieties were added in the following years. Lagrein Kretzer rosé, Vinschgau Vernatsch, Regent, Vinschgau Pinot Noir, Merlot, Vinschgau Pinot Blanc and Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, Terlano Sauvignon, Praesepium (sweet late harvest) and Vinschgau Gewürztraminer are now part of the extensive range. The crowning glory for festive occasions is the sparkling wine: the Eustachius brut sparkling wine.

The goal of the Stachlburg organic wine estate is to produce a healthy, valuable and sustainable agricultural product. Baron Sigmund von Kripp and his family focus on respect for nature, people and traditions, but also sustainable and modern techniques. The naturalness and authenticity of the wines are particularly important to her.

The organic apiary Platterhof is situated in Marlengo, a small village near Merano.

Georg Eller keeps his bees in untreated wooden beehives in Marlengo, Passeiertal Valley and Vinschgau Valley in order to obtain different kinds of honey. He only chooses organic treatments for maintaining their health, in that way the honey preserves its healthy and natural properties.

We are a small farm dairy and we produce various cheeses from raw milk and yogurt with different flavors. We only work with the milk of our own cows, which are feeded only with hay. Until our cheeses go on sale, they are turned and brushed every two days. We offer home delivery and sell our products in selected shops and also at our selling point "Kashittl" (Moarhans) in Caprile (see opening hours).

Val Venosta is regarded as the perfect home of the apple - dry, abundant sunshine and yet not too warm and the perfect altitude. In Naturns, over 340 members deliver their harvest to the Texel cooperative, which is responsible for storage, sales and marketing.

Apples delivered directly by the producer can be bought in the in-house retail shop.

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. 

The farm „Wegerhof“ is located 1,300 m above sea level in the small and sunny village of Stuls/Stulles in the Passeiertal valley. We manufacture our products with love and enthusiasm.

Since 2004, we use our silage-free pasture milk to produce our cheese according to the traditional procedure of cheese making. The cheese then matures in our cellar, until it gets its unique taste.

“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.
