Several high-profile
food and wine events take place in Lana and Environs. Theme food fairs are held throughout the year and include the Wild Herbs Days (Wildkräutertage), the
Blossom Festival (Blütenfesttage) in spring, or the Keschtnriggl Chestnut Days (Kastanientage) and the Culinary Autumn in Merano gastronomic festival in the fall. During the Pumpkin Festival, (Kürbisfest) the vegetable is celebrated in a wide range of dishes. The chestnut season coincides with the traditional Törggelen in autumn. This is the perfect time to gather with friends for a glass of new wine.
For visitors dining out, the
restaurant guide and the Real Quality in the Mountains label can be useful. Traditional recipe books and high-quality local food products from Lana and Environs may be taken home as souvenirs of a holiday in South Tyrol.
