Kalterer Weinkulinarium

A day of wine and autumn flavors in the heart of Caldaro

The Kalterer Weinkulinarium is one of the most anticipated food and wine events of the autumn in Caldaro sulla strada del vino/Kaltern an der Weinstraße, a premier wine-growing municipality in the Autonomous Province of Bolzano, Trentino-Alto Adige. As the final grapes ripen on the vines and the scent of autumn fills the air, producers from the wein.kaltern cooperative gather in the main square (Marktplatz) to present a selection of their finest wines to the public.

Local wines paired with seasonal specialties

The event's core theme is the perfect marriage between Caldaro's wines and South Tyrolean autumn cuisine. Wineries and partners of wein.kaltern offer a diverse range of labels, spanning from sparkling wines and crisp, fruity whites to the region's signature reds, most notably the renowned Kalterersee (Lake Caldaro). Each glass is accompanied by dishes and gastronomic specialties designed to enhance the local terroir, creating a tasting journey through the stalls set up in the historic center.

A festive atmosphere in the square

The Weinkulinarium is more than just a tasting; it is a village festival that brings the square to life for an entire day. The event features live music from local bands and ensembles, fostering a convivial and relaxed atmosphere. Visitors, enthusiasts, and curious travelers are invited to stroll among the stalls, meet the producers in person, and discover the deep bond that connects Caldaro to its winemaking heritage.
