Nalles / Nals - Weinstraße Start

Gateway to South Tyrol's 150km Wine Route (Südtiroler Weinstraße), 2000-soul "Rose Village" 15km from Merano, where castles Payersberg, Schwanburg, and Casatsch anchor Überetsch's winegrowing heritage.

What to do there

AdventureThe Weinstraße by bike - 70km wine road through every grape and microclimateThe South Tyrolean Wine Road stretches 70km from Nalles to Salorno — one of Italy's oldest wine routes. Cycle it and you'll pass through every grape variety, every microclimate, and every altitude zone in Alto Adige. Start with Sauvignon Blanc at 600m, descend through Gewürztraminer at Tramin, Lagrein at Bolzano's valley floor, and end with Pinot Grigio on dolomitic limestone at Salorno. One road, the entire wine education.
