Planning a Visit to the Eisack Valley Wine Country
The Eisack Valley (Valle Isarco in Italian) runs north-east from Bolzano towards Brixen/Bressanone and the Brenner Pass. It is one of the northernmost wine-growing areas in Italy, and its steep, often terraced slopes sit higher than many other vineyards in South Tyrol. Cool nights and sunny days help the grapes keep their fresh acidity, which is why the valley is best known for aromatic whites such as Sylvaner, Müller-Thurgau, Kerner, Grüner Veltliner, Riesling and Gewürztraminer. These wines appear on the labels under the Südtirol/Alto Adige DOC with the Eisacktaler/Valle Isarco designation.
Getting there from Bolzano
The valley is easy to reach from the city. Regional trains run along the Brenner line through towns such as Klausen/Chiusa and Brixen, and the main road follows the river. If you plan to taste wine, public transport is the more relaxed choice. Walkers will find marked paths that link villages, wine estates and chestnut groves. Many of these follow the Törggelen tradition, the autumn custom of visiting farm taverns for new wine, roasted chestnuts and hearty local dishes.
Practical tips
- Check ahead: Wineries and cooperative cellars set their own opening times and tasting arrangements. Contact them or look at their official websites before you go, and book where it is required.
- Choose your season: Spring and early summer are pleasant for hiking. The harvest period and late autumn are the liveliest times, but they are also the busiest.
- Wear proper footwear: Vineyard paths can be steep and uneven.
- Bring a picnic or water: Some routes pass only a few places to eat or drink.
A note for dental patients
If you are combining an excursion with a dental visit, plan the order sensibly. After treatments such as extractions, surgery or anaesthesia, it is generally best to avoid alcohol and very hot or hard foods for a while. Always follow the specific advice your dentist gives you. You can find general guidance on our patient information page. When you are arranging your trip, our appointments page can help you schedule your visit around your plans in the valley.
