Events in Schenna and around Merano

South Tyrolean traditions are interpreted in style and enriched by many new features at the Merano Grape Festival. Dating back to 1886, it is the most profoundly rooted event in Meran's social life. 

Various initiatives on Saturday and Sunday show the authentic and young face of the historic festival.

On the programme are local products at the Merano market, autumn dishes with northern and southern influences, fine wines from the Burggrafenamt and Alpine music. Concerts by South Tyrolean young music bands take place in the town center on Sunday. The customary annual parade, with the participation of bands and organisations promoting traditional costumes, will also resume this year. The start of the parade at the Vinschgau Gate is on Sunday, October 20.

Wine producers from around the world present their top creations at the Merano WineFestival, with a special spotlight on organic and biodynamic wines. Michelin-starred cuisine, 120 producers of artisan delicacies, masterclasses, and wine talks enrich this international event, celebrating indulgence in all its forms and facets.

You may become a child again here, and the children themselves will find that magic again on site that only this time of year can offer. You are in Merano, at the Merano Christmas Market. A place where the warmth of Advent and the city's flair are breathed in.
The smell of mulled wine, cinnamon, cloves and Christmas cookies, but also of hearty delicacies. Choirs sing, music groups play. Add to that a very relaxed mood and the anticipation of the upcoming holidays. In short: If the hectic pace of everyday life has you firmly in its grip, visit the Merano Christmas Market, which is guaranteed to put you in the Christmas spirit very quickly with its beauty!
