Distilled Spirits Tasting with a Walk Through the Vineyards and a Snack in Appiano on the Wine Route

Discover the flavors and traditions of South Tyrol with an experience lasting about 2.5 hours at the St. Urban distillery in Cornaiano, in Appiano on the Wine Route. Stroll through the vineyards, enjoy a snack with wine and speck, and conclude the tour with a tasting of five artisanal spirits.

Begin the experience with a walk through the vineyard rows, accompanied by a guide who will explain the characteristics of local viticulture and the area’s winemaking traditions. Along the way, treat yourself to a pleasant break right in the vineyard, where you can savor a glass of wine paired with a platter of speck.

Continue with a tour of the St. Urban distillery, where you’ll discover the secrets behind the production of artisanal spirits. Take a close look at the copper still and let your guide walk you through the different stages of distillation, learning to distinguish the “head,” “heart,” and “tail” of the spirit.

Round out the experience with a guided tasting of five of the distillery’s spirits. Learn to recognize the aromatic nuances—from fruity hints to spicy notes—and discover how to best appreciate each taste. The tour is guaranteed to run with a minimum of 5 participants.
