Ütia de Bioch

2,079 meters high—Europe's finest alpine wine cellar with 13,000 bottles and 1,700 labels, 80% Alto Adige, at a mountain hut founded in a converted ski lodge.

What to do there

TastingÜtia de Bioch - Europe's Highest Wine CellarYou ski to 2,075 meters and duck into what looks like another mountain rifugio. Then you see the wine list: 1,400 labels, 80% South Tyrolean, curated by three-Michelin-starred Norbert Niederkofler. This is Europe's highest wine cellar, winner of the Alto Adige Wine Culture Award, and you literally skied here. The sommelier pours a Lagrein whose harvest dates were documented by monks in 1097 — 929 years of wine history while you stare at UNESCO peaks that used to be a tropical coral reef.
