Delights from South Tyrol

The mild climate around Naturns and Plaus creates ideal conditions for growing a wide variety of apples. In particular, Golden Delicious, Gala, and Braeburn apples ripen here perfectly, standing out for their taste and quality.

On the sunny vineyards around Naturns, winemakers cultivate high-quality white wine varieties such as Riesling, Pinot Blanc, Silvaner, and Müller-Thurgau, as well as red wine varieties such as Vernatsch and Pinot Noir. Special aging techniques and maturation in wooden barrels give the wines their distinctive character.

At the same time, the region offers excellent conditions for Speck production: at Moser’s Speckworld, the Moser family has been producing mildly smoked Speck for generations, following a traditional family recipe. Many other Speck producers are also ready to welcome visitors!

Those who want to taste the culinary treasures of the region will find them not only at the Farmers’ Shop at the entrance to the Schnals Valley, but also at the numerous local markets, where fruit, wine, Speck, and other specialties are offered directly by the producers.
