3-course Lunch at Alpin Hut Oberholz up in the Dolomites 6300 Feet Above Sea Level - Alto Adige 2026 by ombiasy WineTours






  


Alto Adige 2026 by ombiasy WineTours, led by Annette Schiller, took place from Sunday, September 06 - Sunday, September 13, 2026.   
 
Being the northernmost wine region of Italy, 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 tour we did not change hotels. We stayed 7 nights at the famous, beautiful 5-star Art-Nouveau style Parkhotel Laurin in Bozen.

Day 6 - Manincor, Dolomites, Kellerei Kurtatsch, Toma Weinbar
 
(1) Manincor. Cellar tour and tasting. The winery is highly regarded as a biodynamic pioneer of the region. One of the 3, 4 flagship wineries of Alto Adige. We had the pleasure of meeting Count Michael Goess Enzenberg, who recently has handed over the management of the estate to his son Kassian, who we had met at Ama in Washington DC earlier this year. 
 
(2) Lunch at Alpin Hut Oberholz up in the Dolomites 6300 feet above sea level. The view was breathtaking. We went up and down by chairlift. 
 
(3) Kellerei Kurtatsch Cantina Produttori Cortaccia . Founded in 1900, the Cantina Kurtatsch has evolved in a premier cooperative. The view there of the Adige valley is spectacular. 
 
(4) Toma Weinbar by Lisa, our to-go wine bar in Bozen, with Katharina Schiller and Cornelia Schiller Tremann

Alpine hut Oberholz 

Alpine Atmosphere at Its Finest 

In the Dolomites, a World Heritage Site, at an altitude of 2,096 meters above sea-level, the Oberholz Alpine Hut with its sunny terrace affording an unbelievable panoramic view fits seamlessly into the natural mountain landscape. The Oberholz mountain hut, directly accessible with or without skiers from the chairlift starting from Obereggen, is even heated with geothermal energy. The Oberholz mountain hut is open from 6th June to 4th October, daily from 8.30 am to 4.00 pm. 

Alpine hut Oberholz – Alpine Atmosphere at Its Finest 

Located at 2096 meters, the Oberholz Hut stands as an architectural and culinary highlight in the Latemar Dolomites ski and hiking area. Opened in 2016, it blends modern architecture with a strong connection to nature. The kitchen uses locally sourced ingredients, while the use of larch wood on the exterior and Eggental fir wood on the interior gives the architecture its distinctive character. The hut is heated exclusively using geothermal energy. Enjoy breathtaking views of the Central Alps, whether through the large hut windows or from the panoramic terrace. 

Contemporary Architecture: A Unique Design in the Dolomites 

Architects Peter Pichler and Pavol Mikolajcak have created a unique architectural project with the Alpine hut Oberholz. The building seamlessly blends into its surroundings, featuring three large windows oriented towards different mountain ranges. The expansive glass façade merges through curved lines into a compact structure inside, where smaller, cozy niches divide the restaurant area, creating an inviting atmosphere. The exterior design evokes the image of a fallen tree, with its branches extending from the hillside. 

Summit Gourmets: Culinary Delights at the Alpine hut Oberholz 

The lounge area, three Pockets, and panoramic terrace offer guests the chance to dine, drink, and relax both in winter and summer. The Oberholz Hut is renowned for its excellent cuisine, combining traditional alpine dishes with South Tyrolean specialties and Mediterranean lightness. Regular events after ski hours, easily accessible by chairlift, are especially popular. Enjoy breathtaking views of the highest peaks in the Central Alps.

Just 12 miles (20 km) from Bolzano, the Eggental offers a paradise for mountain lovers. Here, you can enjoy plenty of sunshine, culinary specialties, and ideal conditions to actively experience the breathtaking nature against the backdrop of the Latemar – the perfect destination for an unforgettable holiday between South Tyrol and Trentino. ble by chairlift, are especially popular.
