Events and festivals for an autumn family weekend

AUTUMN 2019 - Children are back at school but we still daydream of laid-back summer days and long to spend more time together and to relax a bit longer. So why not take advantage of an autumn weekend and spend few days enjoying outdoor activities and the wonderful colours that nature offers during this season.

If you are looking for things to do with children in Trentino this autumn, you’ll find here the top events for families dedicated to autumn and nature’s bounty: grapes, apples and chestnuts. There are many events, workshops and themed activities to put your manual skills to the test and spark your imagination.

Desmontegade, September

Every year at the end of the summer, herds and flocks stroll through the villages decorated with flowers and clanking bells to celebrate their return from the alpine pastures. It’s a traditional festival that brings towns together and an occasion to taste the local specialities.

Have you ever tried grape harvesting with your children? Grab a pair of shears, a picking pail and join the growers in this fascinating activity. They will show you how to hand pick the grape clusters and share their secrets. End this experience with a picnic in the vineyards and, just for the grownups, a tasting in the cellar.
