Harvest time in South Tyrol: treasures of nature

Timing matters

The harvest is the most important time of the year for our farmers. Finally, their months of labour come to fruition.

Autumn is harvest time in South Tyrol: in the vineyards, apple orchards and vegetable fields. Healthy, high-quality food can be bought from friendly farmers' markets and tiny farm shops for sampling and snacking, buying and gifting. For winegrowers in particular, the right harvest time is crucial for ensuring the quality of the wine: the sugar content and degree of ripeness of the grapes must be exactly right. Our winemakers harvest the white grapes first, then the red wine varieties. Only after the first frost do they carefully pluck the grapes for the sweet ice wine from the vine, with a lot of experience and instinct.

Vinum Hotels Südtirol

Several hotels in South Tyrol are dedicated entirely to the unique cultural landscape of wine-growing. Here you stay in the middle of a cultivation zone and can look forward to cellar or vineyard tours every day – and of course, to a glass of wine, directly from the winegrower.

To join in

The “Wimmen”, as the grape harvest is called in South Tyrol, can be observed along the South Tyrolean Wine Road and in the Eisacktal valley.

Would you like to pick the grapes from the tree yourself? It's off to the vineyard with shears and a bucket. The South Tyrolean Wine Road offers this experience in September. Be a part of it!
