On 20 March 2016, the region of Alta Badia in Italy’s Dolomiti Superski region will again stage its “Dé dl vin” or Wine Skisafari, a gourmet celebration in which expert sommeliers bring the best regional red and white wines as well as sparkling wines up on the lifts for a special tasting session on the slopes.
From 10am, six mountain restaurants up at 2,000m altitude, high above the valley, will house different local wines, and the experts will be on hand to explain how the favourable climate, fertile soil and love of winemaking combine perfectly to create South Tyrol’s excellent wines. For this one day, South Tyrolean quality wines such as Lagrein, Pinot Blanc, Sauvignon, Gewürztraminer, Pinot Noir and sparkling wine will be in the spotlight alongside Alta Badia’s ski slopes, which include the region’s famed Sellaronda circuit. In addition, typical South Tyrolean products such as bacon, cheese and bread will be served, so guests can combine culinary delights with skiing and wine !
