Italian Alps & Dolomites

ITINERARY

📅 13 – 19 June 2027

 

Day 1 – Welcome to Bressanone

We meet in the riverside town of Bressanone, with its red spires and medieval streets. A local guide leads us through its treasures, the grand Cathedral, Romanesque-Gothic cloister, and frescoes that tell stories of centuries past. Afterward, we toast the start of our journey with South Tyrolean comfort food: goulash and strangolapreti.

Day 2 – Vineyards, Wine & Abbey Treasures

This morning we stroll among vineyards and apple orchards, reaching Pacherhof wine farm for a guided tasting of Müller-Thurgau, Pinot Grigio, Riesling, and Gewürztraminer. A delicious lunch pairs perfectly with these crisp Alpine whites. In the afternoon, we step into the 12th-century Novacella Abbey, a jewel of history and culture. A riverside walk brings us back to town for a relaxed evening on your own.
