Alto Adige 2026 by ombiasy WineTours: 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.
Parkhotel Laurin, BozenBozen'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.
