🍂🍷 Törggelen Season in South Tyrol – Enjoy Tradition, Food & Fun!

When the leaves turn golden and the days grow shorter, the favorite time of the South Tyroleans begins: Törggelen! 🌰🥨
A centuries-old tradition celebrating conviviality and joy of life – from the new wine to hearty specialties and roasted chestnuts. 🍇🔥
Originally a gathering of farmers after the autumn harvest, it has become a festive tradition: barley soup, smoked sausages, alpine cheese, cabbage with dumplings, house sausages, cured meat, krapfen & chestnuts – all served with the fresh new wine. 🍷

Fun fact: “Törggelen” comes from the Torggl, an old grape press. You can still see one at the Mauerbam-Hof in Naturns! 🏡✨

Events & highlights in Naturns:
Every Wednesday in October: traditional Törggelen afternoons at the village fountain
Highlight: the big Törggelen festival! 🎉

Experience South Tyrolean tradition and cuisine as it has been celebrated for centuries! 💛
