Törggelen wine walk - the 500-year-old autumn ritual of chestnuts, new wine, and farmhouse taverns

Törggelen is South Tyrol's most sacred autumn tradition — walking between Buschenschänke (farmhouse taverns) from October to November, drinking new wine (Nuier), eating roasted chestnuts, Speck, and Schlachtplatte. The word comes from 'Torggl,' the wooden wine press. After harvest, farmers invited workers to taste the new vintage. 500 years later, the ritual survives.
