Top things to do on a foodie weekend in autumn

Grow an appetite for gourmet breaks in the mountains

You may not know but in Trentino, beside the leafy forests, the endless hiking trails and the magnificent Dolomites peaks, there are rolling hills of vineyards and apple orchards that in autumn become a colourful delight for the eyes and the palate.

There’s no better time than autumn to taste Trentino’s wines, like Teroldego and Marzemino, and head to the cellars to meet the local producers. Local producers and wineries offer traditional menus prepared only with locally sourced products, from the polenta of Storo to the craft beers of Val di Fiemme and the D.O.P apples of Val di Non.
