Anyone who knows Hermann also knows that he stands behind his products with his heart and soul.
The product range on offer diverse: bacon, pork belly, wine and apple juice.

Above all, Hermann Schönweger has a special relationship with wine. The approximately 250-year-old vine of the "Versoaln" grape variety thrives here.

Tradition has it that this vine was destroyed by the French during the pillaging of the courtyard during the Napoleonic Wars in 1809. When the farm was rebuilt in 1810, the vine began to sprout again. The base of the grapevine has a circumference of 106 cm. This formerly widespread grape varietal can now be found almost solely on old stock located on the viticultural fringes.

The house wine Vernatsch, a dark Cuvée, Rosé and Müller Thurgau are offered for sale. Tasting of farm-fresh produce in the adjoining tavern is possible.

At the Turmbachhof in Appiano (built around 1190 and formerly the residence of the court clerk), our family has been involved for nine generations in the production and processing of foodstuffs, which originally came mainly from the cultivation of our own land. The wine, for example, has always been pressed from the own grapes. A mother of vinegar was made with particular care in porphyry, which gave the vinegar a special vitality. In 1966, Alfons Walcher built a distillery at the Turmbachhof, whose products today are distributed successfully in five continents. Committed to the tradition of superior taste and following their professional passion, in 2017 the Walcher brothers decided to set up their own gourmet food factory in Caldaro. The aim of the new branch is reviving old recipes with new technology and expressing the unique taste of South Tyrol‘s South. In order to achieve this goal, the family relies above all on organically grown raw materials and gentle processing avoiding any additives.

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 complex of buildings perfectly kept within 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 for the name of this “village” – because that´s what it looks like at first – 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 for 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.

In our family distillery, we transform the very best of ingredients from South Tyrol into the heights of excellence. Pears from Marlengo, stone pine from the Villandro Alp and pomace from the vineyards around Merano. Over the past 75 years, we have become experts in the art of distilling. Having brought this experience together with a sensitive touch and love for experiments, we create spirits that are overflowing with charisma. Their quality begins with the fruit tree, the vineyard and the herb garden. And from this point onwards we accompany our ingredients with a vigilant eye, right up to the moment it goes into the bottle. With our manual work and constant monitoring, quality is always at the forefront of our minds. Because it is the subtle nuances that give our brandies, spirits and liqueurs their character.

In 1947 Ignaz Unterthurner produced the first spirits in the Priami Manor in Marlengo. Stephan and his wife Renate have now brought our story into its third generation. We have modernised it with the greatest of sensitivity and care. Everything that we distil in the clear glass cube is available in our atmospheric vaulted shop. Our range counts over 60 spirits, in all categories: brandies, liqueurs, grappa, digestifs, gin and rum. We have not yet exhausted all the possibilities of distilling. We remain curious.
