Treat your palate to a vacation and

enjoy an unforgettable experience.

South Tyrol is known far beyond its

borders for the variety of gastronomic

highlights that awaits guests.

South Tyrolean delights

It‘s no secret that South Tyroleans

are true gourmets, or that they

know how to spoil their guests with

culinary delights. Eppan on the wine

route offers gourmet vacations where

local specialities are combined with

Mediterranean and international

delights, with traditional inns and

guesthouses serving up delicacies

that would not be out of place in

sophisticated restaurants. Here,

opposites complement rather than

contradict each other to produce a

wide range of delicious highlights.

Restaurant zur Rose

Herbert Hintner is perhaps the most

important figure in the wonderful

contemporary kitchen style that blends

regional and modern in the most

practical way” (Jürgen Dollase in the

“Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung”). The

Restaurant zur Rose is located in the

former courthouse, in the pedestrian

area of St. Michael | Eppan. The cosy

little “Rose Stube” is panelled in light

wood, while the vaulted hallway is

traditionally furnished.

“I and my team from the restaurant ‚Zur Rose‘

love to treat gourmets and wine connoisseurs

every year at the Festive Table in the time-

honoured narrow streets of St. Pauls | Eppan

as part of the local Wine Culture Weeks.

The regional cuisine, fine Eppan and South

Tyrolean wines, and unique setting of a table

of more than 130 metres in length all combine

to wonderful effect under the starry sky.”

Restaurant Turmbach

Christoph Wörndle is the maître-de-cuisine

at the Turmbach country inn in Eppan-Berg,

and is renowned far beyond the region.

One interesting experience on his CV was

working as chef for the US national ski team

with Bode Miller and Ted Ligety.

“I am passionate about fresh products from this

region, as well as the nearby Mediterranean areas,

and always treat them with the greatest respect.

Traditional dishes should be prepared so they meet

the needs of contemporary life.”

CULINARY DELIGHTS

In Eppan you can always find just the right restaurant to treat you to something

delicious.

Stroblhof

A wine estate dating back to the 17th

century, it has since 1900 been run as a

restaurant. Its cosy rooms and romantic

garden terrace are perfect for foodies

to enjoy.

A traditional hotel located on the

edge of a forest, it is surrounded by

its own vineyards and rubs shoulders

with historic castles and stately

residences.

The vines, the cellar and the wine

from the estate all combine with

pleasure and relaxation to produce a

feeling of well-being and joie de vivre.

Since 1995, Andreas

Nicolussi-Leck, a wine

professional with more

then twenty-fi ve years'

experience, has been in

charge of viticuture and

winemaking at Stroblhof.

It’s not only wine that’s on offer in

the wine-growing regions. People

in this area eat and drink all kinds

of foods. They often don’t just

enjoy these products, they literally

celebrate them!

Eppan Wine Culture offers a number

of events where these fi ne products

are celebrated, and where culture,

enjoyment and sociability form a

dynamic whole.

DrinkVacations are meant for enjoyment

Girlan Winery

They pursue the following main objectives:

they seek, on one hand, to showcase and

promote the historic local grape varieties

and on the other, to create impressive

characterful wines using international

grape varieties yet keeping them

closely connected to the land. This is all

achieved while respecting nature’s flow

and rhythms. Their work allows them to

convey the authenticity of their ideas into

their wines in a natural way, while using

the latest technology and making sure

that these modern production processes

respect past traditions.

St. Michael Winery

The 340 wine-making families that form

the backbone of the winery joined forces

in 1907 to create the St. Michael | Eppan

Winery. Our great passion is the wine with

which they have now been associated for

generations.

Four famous wine cellars in Eppan

Hans Terzer acts as a seismograph

for the world of wines in South Tyrol:

he is one of the most respected cellar

masters in the area and chairs the

Association of South Tyrolean Cellar

Masters. He has been cellar master at

the St. Michael | Eppan winery since

1977 and took them to the top of the

Italian and international wine market.

In 1977 Hans Terzer was named one of

the “Top Ten Winemakers of the world”

by the Italian gourmet magazine

Gambero Rosso. His three major

passions are wining and dining as well

as riding a bicycle.

Schreckbichl Winery

The guiding principle of the Schreckbichl

Winery is to preserve the quality of the

grape harvest and improve upon it. Our

expertise and skill, our appreciation of

tradition and embrace of modern cellar

technology all ensure that we produce

wines of the highest quality.

St. Pauls Winery

St. Pauls is one of South Tyrol’s most

beautiful wine-growing areas. Our wine

cellar was built on four floors in 1907,

over a century ago. This building, very

innovative for its time, is still ideal for

our purposes.

MENDEL AND GAMPEN PASS TOURRoad bike classic including two passes

The classic among the road bike tours

of southern South Tyrol leads after

a leisurely climb to the Mendel pass

(1,363m above sea level), where a

spectacular panorama of the Dolomite

Mountains opens out. Subsequently

the tour leads slightly downhill into the

neighbouring region of Trentino and

continues leisurely uphill to the Gampen

pass (1,518m above sea level) and

back again to South Tyrol. Then it goes

downhill with a view of the spa town of

Meran and on into the Etsch valley. At the

end of the tour there are still 200 metres in

altitude difference before the starting point

is reached.

Do you still want to climb higher? You can

reach the panoramic mountain of Penegal

at 1,737m above sea level from the Mendel

pass via a steep climb.
