Holidays on a wine farm
Whether ‚Gewürztraminer‘, ‚Vernatsch‘ or ‚Lagrein‘ – whether sweet or dry, light or full-bodied: wine connoisseurs will be in their element on a typical South Tyrolean wine farm. Barrel upon barrel of wine lies maturing in the old cellars, witness to rural tradition and South Tyrolean hospitality. Take a dip into the world of wine. Watch the farmers during the grape harvest, wine-pressing or bottling. Talk shop with specialists or simply review the day over a glass of good home-produced wine. Is your mouth already watering?
