Autumn: the Trentino wine tourism season
Immerse yourself in Trentino’s wine-growing area, in its most beautiful season
Among the reasons for choosing an autumn holiday in Trentino, the possibility of immersing yourself in its oenological universe is, in our opinion, one of the happiest. The reason is not easy to summarise in words, it is an experience that must be simply savoured. For now, we will try to describe it to you in writing.
Trentino has a heart of vineyards, nestled in the centre of its territory and protected by the peaks and Lake Garda, made up of alluvial hills that are anything but steep, and precious plateaus: those below, on the banks of the main waterways and those carved out of the mountain, with steps that make up fascinating shapes and terraced landscapes. The variety of panoramas that viticulture creates is reflected in the variety of products it yields: the changing terroir guarantees the same wine to take on very different and personal nuances and characters based on the cultivation area, so that even within a few kilometres it is possible to obtain a wide variety of products.
The ideas and advice that you will find below have been designed just for you, imagining a journey of discovery, in which you can immerse yourself in the rows and get closer to product and producers, all the while enjoying good food and intimate artistic experiences, at the slow pace of the bicycle or your legs.
These are just some of the suggestions we have for you this autumn!
Reboro. Territory&Passion
In October, several wine cellars in Arco and the Valle dei Laghi become the protagonists of the story of an ancient grape variety, Rebo, which is dried using the breeze of the Ora del Garda. You can enjoy guided tours and tastings in the cellars, accompanied by other local products.
Authentic experiences
These are the Wine&Grappa experiences that you can enjoy among the Avisiane hills and the Piana Rotaliana Königsberg, the undisputed land of the red Teroldego, fine sparkling wines, still wines, and grappa. The range of proposals is wide and surprising; it includes unusual and perhaps unconventional combinations with wine, making them truly intriguing! .
Weekends in the cellar
Every weekend, the wineries and distilleries of the Strada del Vino e dei Sapori del Trentino take turns opening their doors to let you discover the secrets behind their labels. Guided tours and tastings await you, allowing you to dive into the heart of each production area and experience a direct connection with winemakers and producers. All you have to do is plan your visit!
Autumn Wine Trekking
A small village in the Val di Non, Romallo. A single, heroic grape variety, the Groppello della Val di Non, which risked extinction and survived thanks to the love and patience of a few local farmers. A ruby-red wine with aromas of wild herbs and berries, which owes its name to its very compact cluster ("grop" in the local dialect). Enjoy it in the cellar after a walk in nature.
More than a bike ride
A gentle ride through the vineyard heart of Trentino, in the presence of the Paganella peak: it is not easy to describe the Giro del vino 50 in just a few words. More than a simple itinerary, it is an experience to be lived at your own pace. A route of about 50 km that winds through hills and gentle roads—the very same ones where champions like Gilberto Simoni and Francesco Moser grew up. It is up to you to decide whether to experience it as an exploration of the area or as a staged route with refreshing and discovery stops.
A journey through Trentino
Discovering Trentino through the wines that serve as its ambassadors, traveling from south to north like ancient wayfarers: this is one of the Viaggi di Gusto (Taste Journeys) created by the Strada del Vino e dei Sapori. However, this is just an outline of what your holiday will be, as the itinerary will be tailor-made to suit your needs and interests. A unique way to embark on a journey of discovery encompassing landscape, history, nature and, of course, wine.
