Törggele Events

The sweet chestnut, also known as 'Keschtn' in South Tyrol, is not only a delicious autumn speciality but also very healthy. Once an important staple food known as the 'bread of the poor', it has become a popular delicacy. You can find them roasted over an open fire at the traditional Törggelen, but also prepared as delicate Chestnut Hearts (Kastanienherzen) in patisseries.

In autumn, all along the South Tyrolean Wine Road, traditional farm inns (Buschenschänke) and wine taverns invite you to linger. However, if you want to celebrate the chestnut and the wine in a special way, the Törggelen Days in Termeno are just the thing for you. At the beginning of October, the wine village transforms into a lively meeting place for food and wine lovers for two days. With music and a cheerful atmosphere, you can taste chestnuts and wine in many forms and experience the typical atmosphere of Törggelen.

This event is also a great opportunity to get to know the new wine. Try it as sweet grape must or as 'Nuien', the local name for the still-fermenting wine. In Termeno, the home of the Gewürztraminer grape, you are right at the source and can watch the winemakers at work.
