Weingut Loacker winery tour: South Tyrolean wines & Bolzano views

Walk the biodynamic vineyard, taste in a tree house with Bolzano spread below

A guided winery tour at Weingut Loacker in Bolzano takes you through biodynamic vineyards and a natural winemaking cellar, ending with a tasting of South Tyrolean and Tuscan wines in the SKYWINE PAVILLON. The tour runs 90 minutes and is led in English, Italian or German. Dogs are welcome, and the experience suits all fitness levels.

The experience

Weingut Loacker sits on the edge of the St. Magdalener wine region, and the tour starts at the historic estate before moving into the vineyards themselves. You walk the biodynamic rows with a guide who explains the organic and natural winemaking practices the estate has pioneered in South Tyrol. The vantage point from the vineyard gives you a clear view across the region. This is where you understand the landscape the wine comes from.

From the vineyard you move into the barrel cellar to see how the winemaking actually happens, then head to the SKYWINE PAVILLON for the tasting. This is a tree house structure with a view of Bolzano itself, and the wines you taste span both South Tyrol and Tuscany. The "somewhat different Lagrein" the estate is known for appears alongside other regional bottles, so you're tasting your way through Italy without leaving one spot.

The whole experience takes 90 minutes. A live guide leads the tour in whichever language works for the group: English, Italian or German. If you're bringing a dog, it's welcome on the vineyard walk. Strollers work for infants and small children, and there's no fitness requirement. The pace suits everyone.
