South Tyrol - where the Alps meet Italian charm - has quietly become one of Europe’s most captivating wine destinations. And set above the vineyards of Eppan, you’ll find
Schloss Freudenstein.
Part medieval castle, part luxury hideaway, this restored estate feels worlds away from the everyday. The rooms are grand yet inviting, with vaulted ceilings, antique details, and views that stretch over rows of vines and distant peaks. But what really makes it special is the setting: surrounded by some of Alto Adige’s top wineries and steeped in centuries of winemaking tradition.
After a day of tasting crisp Pinot Blancs or mineral-driven Lagreins, return to the Schloss for a quiet moment in the garden or a glass of something local by the fireplace. If you’re lucky, dinner might be paired with a bottle from the estate’s own cellar.
It’s elegant without being overdone, historic without feeling stiff. The kind of place you almost don’t want to tell anyone about-except maybe your favorite travel companion, who loves a good glass of wine as much as you do.
