When the landscape of Südtirols Süden takes on warm golden hues and the harvest begins in the vineyards and apple orchards, golden autumn arrives. The days are still pleasantly mild, while the sun bathes the gentle hills, vineyards and orchards in a special light – the perfect time to discover South Tyrol’s south in all its diversity.
It is the ideal season to enjoy the outdoors: hiking through vineyards dressed in autumn colours, cycling along the South Tyrolean Wine Road or taking a leisurely stroll through picturesque villages and historic town centres. And what could be better than relaxing on a sunny terrace afterwards, enjoying a glass of South Tyrolean wine and soaking up the atmosphere of autumn?
South Tyrol’s south is shaped by a centuries-old tradition of wine and fruit growing. Between Nals and Salurn, picturesque wine-growing villages, traditional wine farms, castles and historic residences are nestled among carefully cultivated vineyards. The Mediterranean climate provides ideal conditions for distinctive wines and allows both international grape varieties and typical South Tyrolean varieties such as Schiava, Lagrein and Gewürztraminer to thrive.
In autumn, the region reveals its most authentic and indulgent side: the grape harvest is in full swing, apple picking brings the orchards to life, and farm taverns, wineries and traditional inns invite visitors to discover the flavours of the season. Added to this are time-honoured autumn traditions and culinary specialities that make this time of year truly unique.
Golden autumn in South Tyrol’s south – a time to hike, cycle, savour and discover.
