Wine Cellar & Tasting Room
Legendary wine cellar, grand tastings
Out of those modest little wine sheets of yesteryear, sophisticated wine lists – as long as a novel at times – have come into being at the Vinum Hotels South Tyrol. The ongoing wine trips and training of the most dedicated South Tyrolean sommeliers have borne fruit; the big wine cellars of the Vinum Hotels now house wine treasures from around the world. And, of course, that includes South Tyrol's most significant prestige wines. It's no wonder that crowds of interested visitors gather for the regular tastings in the modern Vinum Hotel tasting rooms.
Wine Guides
Wine seminars, cellar tours and vineyard visits
From the steep slopes of Vinschgau to the vine terraces of Eisacktal, supported by dry stone walls, and from the Bolzano Basin's top Lagrein zones to the cypress-lined wine hills of Unterland: the Vinum Hotels guide wine aficionados to the source of fine wine, to vines and to winegrowers. During a winery tour, an enologist explains how world-class wines come into being through the maintenance of established traditions and the application of cutting-edge cellar technology. These themes can also be deepened and broadened at the delicious tastings that take place during Vinum Hotel wine seminars.
Wine-Growing Regions
Where the fiery South meets the cool North
Due to South Tyrol's mild continental climate, wine-growing is possible from the valley floor all the way to 1,000 meters. Benefitting from its several microclimate zones and varying soils, South Tyrol has a unique range of varieties. Merlot, Cabernet, Pinot noir, Chardonnay, Pinot blanc, Sauvignon, Pinot gris, Grüner Veltliner, Kerner and Riesling grow here, in
addition to the indigenous Vernatsch, Lagrein and Gewürztraminer. International varieties with a South Tyrolean character: fiery, Mediterranean, fresh, elegant, fruity and long-lasting.
