Wine events
Celebrate South Tyrol's fine wine
Spring
South Tyrolean wine weeks
All the way along the "wine trail" in South Tyrol, a number of wine-related events are hosted, such as wine seminars and tastings and wine-related hiking tours. These events focus in local wine types such as Gewürztraminer, Lagrein and Vernatsch.
Cellar night
The closing event of the South Tyrolean wine weeks is the "cellar night". On this unique occasion, more than 30 wineries in the area around Bolzano/Bozen, Caldaro/Kaltern and Egna/Neumarkt open their cellars for tasting sessions, guided tours, readings and concerts. A shuttle service will take you from one venue to another.
South Tyrolean Blauburgund days
In all of Italy this is the only event dedicated purely to the Blauburgunder grape. The two picturesque villages of Egna/Neumarkt and Montagna/Montan have been known for producing this fine wine since the middle of the 19th century. This special event in May celebrates the unique qualities of this wine.
