The capital of Italy’s northernmost region of South Tyrol, Bolzano (Bozen in German) has only been Italian since World War I, and its character remains distinctly Germanic. At the center of the town, Piazza Walther is named for a 13th-century German minstrel. The town’s most famous resident, Ötzi the Iceman, dates from about 3300 BC and now rests at the South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology. The striking new building for Museion, the city’s modern and contemporary art museum, opened in 2008.

Since the late seventies our vineyards have been strictly cultivated according to the biodynamic and homeopathic principles. Holistic thinking, sustainability and authenticity are core values at Tenuta Loacker. The historic winery Schwarhof is situated in the middle of steep and sunny wine terraces of the wine village St. Justina. On one side you have a breathtaking view to the Rosengarten and on the other the city of Bolzano lies beneath your feet. We invite you to come to our winery and to let the nature and the harmony inspire you to and to taste wine which will induce your soul to more serenity.
We stopped in for a quick tasting at 9am on our way out of town just to experience the regions wine. We were so happy we stopped as we had such a nice tasting and visiting with the family that produces the wine. We purchased a couple of bottles enjoy on our hiking expedition in the Dolomites. Fabulous experience, great wine, wonderful hosts, and history! Truly memorable!

The Dominicans Church is near the main cathedral, in Bolzano city center. I think this is a must-visit when in Bolzano. The church itself is nice, not very ornate, but with good frescoes (damaged during WWII). What is really impressive is the presbitery at the church back, with a stunning Baroque ceiling in pink, and Saint John's chapel, with wonderful frescoes in the style of Giotto's school. Also these were damaged during WWII, but what's left is still incredibly beautiful.

We went to this picturesque city by train from Innsbruck and was most impressed by the amazing scenery. It was a very hot day with deep blue sky and we had a drink in a cafe on the square. We also caught a tram and did a round trip which was a great way to see it and at little cost. Certainly a day and a place to remember and to return to if we are in this area or nearby.
