HISTORICAL CELLAR IN MARLING
Cellar tour and wine tasting
in the historic cellar
Beneath the historic MENA building in Marling is our experience cellar – a restored cellar that brings to life the history of winemaking, fruit growing and village life in the Merano region.
In carefully designed rooms, you'll discover original equipment, historical tools, and lovingly staged scenes from bygone eras. The tour is not a typical museum visit, but a personally guided journey through the development of our farm and the village community.
A sparkling wine awaits you as a welcome drink. To conclude, there will be the traditional "Hoamstanzer" – a small schnapps, as was customary in earlier times.
