From afar, very close: In this section, I introduce winemakers and wine enthusiasts who talk about their region, their winery or hotel, their own wanderlust dreams and wines that you absolutely have to try. The first Fern-Glas journey goes with the great Vinum Hotels to South Tyrol.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If you can’t get there in person, great vacation destinations just have to and can come to us. I have fallen in love with South Tyrol since my first trip last year and have already met some of the hosts of Vinum Hotels S\u00fcdtirol (you can find the hotels listed below and the report linked to them), of which hopefully many more will follow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who or what are Vinum Hotels?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Vinum Hotels<\/a><\/strong> association stands for hosts who are winemakers themselves or share my wine quirk and have an extensive wine cellar at the start, offer special tastings or explain and bring the topic of wine closer to the guest in a multifaceted, descriptive and above all drinking-friendly way. In every hotel there is an appropriately trained sommelier at the start, and you can also immerse yourself in the South Tyrolean wine world through a wide variety of activities in the surrounding area. If you can only dream of such a region from a distance, it helps to reach for the glass – and that’s why I asked some of the Vinum Hotels hosts to pour me some pure wine based on a few questions – about their home, their hotel and, of course, recommendable wine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What defines the fascination of wine for you?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The vine is a unique plant, if it is lovingly cared for, it rewards the winemaker with great wines. As my dear friend and wine pope Hans-G\u00fcnter Schwarz from the Palatinate always says: “Maximalism in the vineyard and controlled idleness in the wine cellar”- is the guarantee for first-class wines. But wine is also a millennia-old tradition and innovation at the same time. It is art but also pleasure. And at the same time so versatile!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What defines the fascination of South Tyrolean wines for you?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

We have in our small country such a great diversity of different sites, soils and climates. Therefore, in a very small area it is possible to produce a wide range of quality wines. It is rare to find such a wide range in a relatively small area under vines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What was the last wine that surprised you?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The new vintage of our Gloria Dei 2019. A wine that already inspires and still has a lot of potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A great wine for a first date?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

A fruity red wine, such as our Baccar\u00e0, is perfect for spending time together in front of the winter fireplace or at a summer dinner in a romantic mood with your chosen one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A great wine to toast with the parents? <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I always tend to go for our Gloria Dei here. It is a perfect aperitif wine and delights everyone in the family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do you introduce wine to newcomers? <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

We as a family as well as our employees (the Oberwirt has several certified sommeliers) are happy to answer any questions our guests may have. For those who would like to gain an insight into wine production, I recommend a visit to our winery. Oenologist Martin is always happy to share his work with our guests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
