The night when the cellars open their doors is a highlight among the wine events on the South Tyrolean Wine Road every year

On one evening in June, around 30 cellar cooperatives, private wineries and wine-growing estates open the gates to their vaults for some very special events. Once the "Nacht der Keller" (in German) concentrates on the southern part of the Wine Road, the following year on the northern part, offering enough variety for wine lovers who join in the celebrations every year.
In the vaults where the wine is usually matured and stored, tastings, guided tours, readings and concerts take place until midnight on this evening. But the focus is and remains on the grapes grown along the Wine Road and the wine produced from them. A shuttle service connects the individual wineries and municipalities. So nothing stands in the way of a carefree evening!
When: every year in June
Where: alternately in the southern and northern part of the Wine Road
