Bolzano for Gourmets
Two cultures one menu
The cuisine of Bolzano has benefited from the strategic position of the city
for an exchange of flavors: on one hand, solid genuine country cooking; on
the other hand, flavors of the Mediterranean sun.
If it is true that "you are what you eat", then the local cuisine confirms
the richness of juxtaposition of different cultural traditions.
Italian fare abounds on the menu in Bolzano. At the same time hearty
Tyrolean cuisine is abundantly available.
Wine country
Wine-growing in the area of Bolzano dates back to prehistoric times. The
Roman were the first visitors we know to appreciate the local wines. The
tradition continues to this days, with vine-yards throughout the city and
covering all the slopes above.
Wine from Bolzano have recently gained widespread international appeal: The
St. magdalena and the Lagrein (both Dukel or Kretzer) have made the city to
the third largest producer of South Tyrol.
