Wine and Dine Weekend
Italian Wine and Dine Weekend
Join us for a relaxing and flavorful fall getaway to Italy’s historic Novacella Abbey, one of the world’s oldest wineries, founded in 1142. Nestled in the heart of South Tyrol, the Abbey is surrounded by rolling vineyards and charming alpine villages, where the leaves turn golden and amber as the crisp air of autumn settles over the valleys. This is fall harvest season in northern Italy—a perfect time to savor the landscape and the wine.
On Saturday, you’ll take part in an exclusive guided tour of the Abbey, learning its rich history and tasting its world-class wines, produced by the Augustinian Canons for nearly nine centuries. Each pour is thoughtfully paired with regional delicacies that enhance the flavors and tell the story of the land.
New for this year! Start the weekend with a Welcome Reception on Friday, 7 November, at Zuggy’s Base Camp, featuring complimentary hors d’oeuvres and a chance to connect with fellow military wine and travel enthusiasts from across Europe.
Spend Sunday at your leisure—sleep in, explore the nearby mountains, or take a self-guided adventure through ÃÜÌÒAV. That evening, join us for a five-course, chef-prepared dinner at ÃÜÌÒAV, with wines artfully paired to complement each dish.
