Wine escapes among designer wineries, Alpine landscapes, outdoor activities, and stays among the vines

Some places are traversed, others are savored slowly. Alto Adige is one of these: a region where wine becomes the common thread of authentic experiences that intertwine landscape, hospitality, wellness, and flavor. Here, wine tourism takes on a contemporary and immersive meaning. It's not just about tasting a wide and varied range of wines, but also about connecting with a way of life steeped in nature and local culture. Among vineyards, signature wineries, scenic routes, and small villages with Alpine-Mediterranean charm, every experience invites you to slow down and savor, first and foremost, time.

In Alto Adige, wine is born in surprising settings : rows of vines climbing the slopes, castles surrounded by vineyards, historic monasteries, and mountains that form the backdrop to one of Europe's most fascinating wine-growing regions. A mosaic of landscapes where the winemakers' work recounts an ancient tradition, passionately preserved and reinterpreted with a contemporary perspective.

Summer is the perfect time to explore this world through open-air experiences that combine movement, conviviality, and discovery. Guided walks through the vineyards, sunset tastings, picnics among the vines, cellar tours, and meetings with producers offer a firsthand insight into the authentic soul of Alto Adige wines. For those who love to experience the region actively and sustainably, cycling is the perfect means of transport. Thanks to Bike Wine Ambassadors —specialized guides who accompany guests along wine itineraries—you can explore the Überetsch, the Bassa Atesina, the Isarco Valley, or the Merano area by pedaling among vineyards, lakes, and contemporary architecture. The routes are suitable for all levels of fitness and lead to the discovery of the region's iconic varietals, from Pinot Blanc to Gewürztraminer and Pinot Noir .

Furthermore, the Wine & Bike Alto Adige Collection offers a series of themed itineraries, accessible via Komoot, designed to combine the pleasure of cycling with the culture of wine. A way to explore the region, following the slow rhythm of its vineyards and its seasons.

South Tyrolean wine tourism is also synonymous with hospitality . The more than 200 wineries reflect diverse souls yet share a strong connection to the land: from small family-run businesses to large cooperatives and estates, each visit allows you to come into direct contact with those who produce wine every day. And for those who want to extend the experience, South Tyrol offers the opportunity to stay directly at wineries, relais immersed in the vineyards, charming agritourisms, and wine resorts overlooking the vines, experiencing the landscape from a privileged perspective. Completing the journey, of course, is the gastronomy . From gourmet restaurants to mountain huts, wine bars, and wine shops, each dish pairs with local wines in a balance that expresses South Tyrol's extraordinary culinary identity: Alpine and Mediterranean at the same time, essential and extraordinarily distinctive.

A journey to be experienced slowly, amidst fine wines, Alpine panoramas, and authentic hospitality that reflects the refined soul of South Tyrol.
