Meet and Greet in the Garden of Parkhotel Laurin in Bozen - Alto Adige 2026 by ombiasy WineTours

Trentino - Alto Adige: Sunday, September 06 - Sunday, September 13, 2026 

 

Being the northernmost wine region of Italy, Trentino -Alto Adige is a very special place where Italian and German traditions merge. It is a fascinating and unique region in the Alpes. It boasts of an extraordinary variety of landscapes: snow-capped mountains in the Dolomites, fertile valleys, streams, century-old breathtakingly beautiful towns true to their hybrid Germanic-Italian culture. 

 

During this wine tour we travelled through 3 main valleys carved out by the rivers Adige (Etsch) and Isarco (Eisack). These valleys form a Y since in Bozen, the capital of the Alto Adige region, the Isarco joins the Adige. From Bozen we followed the Adige river further south and spend a day in Verona the city much beloved by Shakespeare who set more than just one play in this northern Italian town. We used this opportunity to also visit a winery where we tasted the unique, delicious Amarone.  

 

As the climate gets warmer cool-climate winemaking has captured the interest of both sides of the wine business: the industry and the consumer. The focus shifts more and more to higher altitude, cooler climate regions such as Trentino-Alto Adige in search of elegant, moderate alcohol wines.

 

This tour started and ended in Bozen. During this tour we did not change hotels. Annette booked 7 nights at the famous, beautiful 5-star Art-Nouveau style Parkhotel Laurin in Bozen.

Schiller's Favorite Italian Neighborhood Restaurants in the Neighborhood of Cornelia Tremann Schiller, Muenchen, Schwabing (September 2026)

Schiller's Favorite Italian Neighborhood Restaurants in the Neighborhood of Cornelia Tremann Schiller, Muenchen, Schwabing

Da Larosa

Karl-Theodor-Strasse 31a

Alongside their signature Pinsa, they serve traditional, modernly interpreted southern Italian recipes ranging from rich Tagliolini with truffles to premium veal tenderloin. Relatively small, intimate restaurant. They also feature a nice outdoor terrace. Because the venue has limited seating, tables book up very quickly.

Bibulus

Close to the Sticks & Stones Wine Bar. Listed among the top Italian restaurants in Schwabing, itt features an elegant, classic interior and a beautiful outdoor terrace. While they do offer à la carte dishes, the real draw here is their masterfully curated four-course degustation menu paired with regional Italian wines. Large wine list with many high-end wines. 

  

Ristorante Pizzeria Italy

Leopoldstrasse

Ristorante and Pizzeria. Long-standing establishment in Munich serving traditional Italian food. 

Al Dente

Karl-Theodor-Straße 45

Relatively large number of families with children were eating there, when we went. The owners are from the Southern part of Italy. Limited wine list.

This tour started and ended in Bozen. During this tour we did not change hotels. Annette booked 7 nights at the famous, beautiful 5-star Art-Nouveau style Parkhotel Laurin in Bozen.

 

Parkhotel Laurin, Bozen

Bozen's Parkhotel Laurin has welcomed travelers since 1910, when it was built in the exuberant Art Nouveau style then sweeping through Central Europe. Sitting in the heart of the city, just steps from the train station and Piazza Walther, the hotel has long served as the elegant gateway to South Tyrol, a region where Austrian and Italian cultures meet at the foot of the Dolomites. 

Bozen itself, the provincial capital, embodies that duality: German and Italian street signs, Tyrolean architecture beside Mediterranean-style piazzas, and a climate mild enough for palm trees to grow alongside Alpine peaks. 

The hotel's Liberty-style interiors are original to its founding, most memorably the Laurin Bar, whose walls are covered in frescoes by the Austrian painter Bruno Goldschmitt depicting the legendary Dwarf King Laurin and his rose garden, a figure from South Tyrolean folklore. 

Guests can relax in a private park shaded by mature trees, swim in the outdoor pool, or unwind in the summer lounge bar and Finnish sauna. 

Rooms blend original twentieth-century artworks with modern comforts - including marble bathrooms, satellite television, fast internet connection - reflecting the hotel's status within the WorldHotels Elite collection. 

Beyond its own walls, the Parkhotel Laurin is a short walk from the South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology, the medieval old town, and the Talvera river promenades, making it an ideal base from which to explore Bozen's wine bars, markets, and mountain backdrop before setting out each day into the surrounding vineyards of the Adige and Isarco valleys.
