This territory is in fact devoted to taste, quality and, above all, wine, like no other. From visits to the cellars or directly to the vineyards, wine manages to give a very strong connotation to trips to South Tyrol, so much so that a few bottles are often taken home to enjoy a small moment of South Tyrol even in one's daily life. It is rare to find so many restaurants awarded with Gault Millau toques and Michelin stars as in South Tyrol, and no other place boasts such a presence of splendid hotels ready to welcome and pamper guests and visitors. If these reasons weren't enough to plan your next trip to South Tyrol, we present the unmissable annual events dedicated to wine that enliven the South Tyrolean spring. “ Every year, in fact, our wine events are perfect travel opportunities and a source of inspiration at the same time. They tell the story of the tradition, the origin, the culture of the wine and the taste as well as the bunches and the art of producing extraordinary wines. In any case, they are definitely worth a trip ”, says Eduard Bernhart , Director of the Consorzio Vini Alto Adige with satisfaction.
