The many joys of wine in South Tyrol
A cozy hotel perched atop the sunny plateau of Villanders, which offers panoramic views of the UNESCO World Heritage Dolomites and Eisacktal Valley from every room. Here in Eisacktal, Italy’s northernmost wine-growing region, the grape takes center stage.
In the Vinalpinum Spa you’ll enjoy Alpine grape treatments and try out wine-related treatments for body and spirit alike.

A wonderful wine holiday
The wine village of Villanders, known for its authentic rustic inns and wine taverns, is situated on one of the Eisacktal Valley's warmest sun terraces. The location of the StephansHof Vinum Hotels – high above the valley – offers a privileged view of the Eisacktal vineyards, the rugged peaks of the Dolomites and Kloster Säben Abbey, together with its vineyards. Excellent white wines thrive here, and wine is the heart and soul of the StephansHof. Every day, the StephansHof menu features many traditional South Tyrolean dishes; of course, dishes with Eisacktal white wines are an absolute must.
The hotel's extensive wine list, focusing mainly on the Eisacktal Valley, brings the most important wine-growing regions together. Junior chef and sommelier Matthias Egger leads guests through weekly tastings of Alto Adige wines, in combination with cheese specialties. Another highlight is to participate in a wonderful hike to the Villanderer Alm, ending with a wine tasting at an Alpine cheese dairy. Autumn brings out best of the Eisacktal Valley, the home of the Törggelentradition. This ancient custom is alive and well – and at its most authentic – at the Stephanshof: group hikes through colorful chestnut groves lead to old farms and wineries, where participants enjoy a classic Törggele meal in addition to a tour of the cellars and winery. The StephansHof also pampers its guests at its Vinalpinum Spa, with products from the Vinoble grape-seed line.

The Eisacktal Valley, which was mainly planted with red varieties until 100 years ago, has long been one of Italy's most prestigious growing areas for white wine. Warm summer days and cool nights in early autumn lead to an exciting flavor concentration of dense grapes.
