Termeno is located in the south of South Tyrol and is the hometown of the famous Gewuerztraminer wine. Moreover this village boasts a mild climate and is rich in historic farms. Also the Castelaz church and its narrow alleys are worth a visit. The most striking event is probably the Egetmann parade in the period of Carnival. -
The South Tyrolean Wine Route stretches from Nalles to Bolzano and the Oltradige, via the Bassa Atesina to Salorno. This area comprises about 90% of the South Tyrolean Wine production, including the typical varieties of wine such as the Merlot and Lagrein, as well as the Pinot Girgio and the Chardonnay. By the way, the South Tyrolean Wine Route is the most ancient of Italy. -

Termeno takes you a bit further to the sunny south of Italy. And this might be seen at the first glance. At 276 m asl, the pretty village of Termeno is waiting for you. This is the place where a particular wine has its origins: the Gewürztraminer. Lovers of wine can look forward to a special kind of experience.
Beautiful places rich in culture such as the church of San Giacomo in Castelaz, the highest brick-built church spire of Tyrol or the local village museum are definitely worth visiting. Not only the place but also the people of Termeno are characterised by a southern spirit. During Carnival for instance, men in particular retain an old custom. The Egetmann parade is a superb parade taking place every two years on Pancake Day, with the local people dressing up as dinosaur-like animals. Don’t miss it!
Moreover, Termeno is the ideal starting point for all kinds of leisure activities. Woods, plains and lakes are within easy reach and even a golf course is found in the surroundings. All it needs is to choose which kind of activity you try out first!
