What is the South Tyrolean Wine Road and who is part of it?

The South Tyrolean Wine Road stands for Wine, Tourism, Culture and Economy.
It is unique in South Tyrol and full of tradition.

The association 'Südtiroler Weinstraße' (South Tyrolean Wine Road) is a independent association, which combines 15 towns and villages along the wine road, such as Nals, Andrian, Terlan, Bozen, Eppan, Kaltern, Tramin, Kurtatsch, Margreid, Kurtinig, Salurn, Neumarkt, Montan, Auer and Pfatten, their relevant tourist board offices, wine-growing estates, the initiative 'wein.kaltern', the ‘association Gewurztraminer"and the village communities of the Upper Etsch - Lowlands region.

Which tasks does the wine road fulfil?

The 'South Tyrolean Wine Road' is not only a contact point for anything relating to the wine road, but also a point of co-ordination for tourism and the wine economy, in order to organise events along the wine road, particularly with an emphasis on advertising.
Advertising campaigns are organised, projects planned and, of course, partnerships formed with other places along wine roads in other countries.

Aims of the South Tyrolean Wine Road

It is our aim to form a network for tourism and the wine economy, to strengthen and further develop it, in order to promote the wine road in the best possible way to markets inside our country, as well as abroad.

In order to reach this goal and to further its uniqueness, some larger projects must be implemented:

• Before the end of 2006, we intend to improve the signposting of the wine road. This standardised system along the wine road and its towns and villages will help the visitors to be more aware of this region and its uniqueness.
• In 2007, we have planned amongst other things some 'Wine Road Weeks'.
  For a certain period of time, we will organise high-class wine events along the South Tyrolean Wine Road. In co-operation with tourism, the wine economy and gastronomy, our guests, but also the locals, connoisseurs, wine lovers and adventurers will have the opportunity to learn more about the wines in our region.
