Wine-growing estate Innerleiterhof
The secret of our premium wines
Our wine-growing estate’s location in Scena is unique. Embedded in the own vines. Surrounded by the picturesque landscape of Merano and environs. Extremely sunny and only a few minutes’ walk from the village centre away. These are the ideal conditions for our excellent South Tyrolean wines. Our kind of pruning employed is the single Guyot cut. In Single Guyot, each vine has one cane preserved each year, for the generation of next years many fruiting canes, and one spur, which is for the generation of the replacement cane. Furthermore our vines are particularly influenced by the manual work and the special care of our host and winemaker Karl Pichler. He is also the one who organizes very special wine events for our guests. Whether in the oldest walls of the Innerleiterhof, the wine cellar, in the winery, at the sunny estate or in the wine tasting room – here our guests can enjoy very personal impressions from the world of wine. Of course, a good glass of Pinot Nero or Sauvignon certainly shouldn't be missing either. Surrounded by a very special atmosphere.
Experiencing, tasting & enjoying wine
Apart from its idyllic location, what is it that makes our wine hotel Innerleiterhof so special? Firstly, our excellent wine assortment. Karl Pichler, host and winemaker with deep passion, and his father-in-law Franz Egger produce 6 South Tyrolean quality wines: Pinot Blanc, Blauburgunder Rosé, Meraner Hügel, Blauburgunder and Roaner. Secondly, the open and unrestricted view of the vineyards and the winery. From the modern bar area our guests benefit from a direct insight into the production halls, where the exquisite wines are processed and stored. Thus, they have the possibility to be part of the entire wine process. This synergy between hotel and winery is unique in South Tyrol! Our weekly tastings with visits through the wine cellar and the on-site inspection of the vineyards complete your wine experience.
