Törggelen is one the highlights of autumn in South Tyrol. Traditionally, from the beginning of October until the end of November the young wine of the season was tasted for the first time. At this occasion, all manner of culinary treats from the local peasant cuisine were served to complete the event.

Chestnuts, wine and a fantastic atmosphere

Törggelen has long become a custom that even locals await with great anticipation. At this time of autumn, in South Tyrol's traditional wine restaurants and on its farms the "new" wine of the season is now served with salted meat (Surfleisch), sausages, kraut and South Tyrolean dumplings (Knödel). Sweet poppy seed doughnuts (Krapfen) and rosted chestnuts are the crowning glory of the meal.

We would be glad to advise you on the best places to go for an authentic Törggelen experience with hearty delicacies and proper Tyrolean folk music.
