IMMERSED AMONG VINEYARDS AND APPLES
Terlano and surroundings
Terlan on the Wine Road
Terlano is located between Merano and Bolzano, which can be reached in just a few minutes, and is one of the largest municipalities in the Adige Valley.
It is famous for its church tower made of red porphyry, one of the highest in South Tyrol, and for the ruins of Maultausch Castle, from which you can enjoy a wonderful panoramic view.
Wine cultivation is widespread in this area. A special feature of Terlano is the small distribution of the vineyards, which makes it easier to manage them more carefully and in a targeted manner, so that each vineyard achieves its full quality potential.
In addition to wine, the area is famous for its apple and asparagus cultivation, the latter being celebrated every year in spring.
