South Tyrolean Wine Road (Kaltern & Tramin)
Südtiroler Weinstraße
One of Italy's oldest wine routes, linking wine villages such as Kaltern and Tramin, and the home of Gewürztraminer.
The wine road runs south from Eppan, southwest of Bolzano, through Kaltern and Tramin to Salurn. Along the way are castles, Gothic churches, and hundreds of wineries and cooperative cellars. The village of Kaltern has a wine museum and cellar tasting rooms, and Tramin is considered the birthplace of the Gewürztraminer grape. In autumn you can join the traditional “Törggelen,” enjoying new wine, chestnuts and cured meats in farmhouses. Ride an e-bike or take the bus, and do not drive after tasting.
Opening hours
