Taste South Tyrol

An easy walk, with good things to taste

We walk through vineyards and villages, and stop where the food and wine are worth it. I tell you the stories behind them: the people, the places and how South Tyrol came to taste the way it does.

It is a gentle full day, ideal for a slower pace or a change from skiing and hiking.

Where we could go

These are examples. I plan each day around your tastes and the season.

Bolzano and surroundings

Bolzano itself has wonderful wineries, with its wonderful regional Lagrein wine. In the surrounding area there are many beautiful family-run wine estates, both organic and conventional. We choose the most beautiful and interesting ones for you.

The Überetsch area

We follow the famous South Tyrolean Wine Road, and explore some wineries on foot, as you like. Then we arrive at farms where we have guided visits and tastings.

Lake Caldaro

A warm, peaceful lake in the middle of wine country. I know especially lovely places here that I would be glad to show you. Food and drink are taken care of: I also organize the best restaurants.

The Wine and Castle Trail

A walk through the Überetsch hills to medieval castles such as Boymont and Hocheppan, through forest, vineyards and old paths, with beautiful views over the Überetsch and the Adige valley. Good fitness is required, as the path goes uphill and downhill. Food and drink are taken care of, and we end the day with a tasting.
