Rural inns

Wine taverns and farmhouse inns

Rural inns have a long tradition in South Tyrol. For decades now, farmers have opened their cellar and 'Stube' to guests so that they can enjoy farmhouse cuisine. Today, the farmhouse inns enjoy great popularity and invite you to sample South Tyrolean delicacies in a convivial atmosphere. All the establishments recommended here have been subjected to rigorous inspections in advance.

Wine tavern (Buschenschank) or farmhouse inn (Hofschank)?

The main difference lies in the wine: the 'Buschenschank' is situated in a wine-growing area and offers its own wine. A 'Hofschank' is situated higher up, above the wine-growing area, offering its own farm-raised meat and serving good wines from down in the valley.
