8 late wine bars in Alto Adige, editor-picked by Cork & Curve. All Alto Adige nightlife.
Loewengrube ★ 4.7
Bolzano centro · Piazza Dogana 3, 39100 Bolzano, Italy
Loewengrube is Bolzano's oldest restaurant and one of South Tyrol's most respected wine destinations, with a 1543 inn above the medieval cellar (circa 1280).
Tip: Ask to be seated in the medieval cellar; the wine bar at the back pours by-the-glass flights from the deeper cellar bottles. Reserve a Saturday-evening sommelier-paired tasting menu.
Wirtshaus Voegele ★ 4.5
Bolzano centro · Via Goethe 3, 39100 Bolzano, Italy
Wirtshaus Voegele has welcomed guests in central Bolzano since 1871 and holds a Bib Gourmand recognition in the 2026 MICHELIN Guide Italia. Traditional South Tyrolean cooking with a serious wine programme; the wood-panelled stube rooms are the ideal setting for an evening Magdalener flight.
Tip: The Magdalener flight (three growers, one vintage) and the Lagrein vertical are the by-the-glass headlines. Book ahead - the restaurant is small.
Hopfen & Co ★ 4.3
Bolzano Piazza delle Erbe · Piazza delle Erbe 17, 39100 Bolzano, Italy
Hopfen & Co on Piazza delle Erbe is a centuries-old Tyrolean tavern with dark-wood panelling, house-brewed beer and a serious South Tyrolean wine list alongside. The crowd skews local and the pours run late into the evening on weekends.
Tip: Order the Lagrein-and-Speck plate at the upstairs stube; the Cantina Bolzano Taber Lagrein Riserva is the house signature by-the-glass.
J. Hofstaetter Wine Bar (Vineria Hofstaetter) ★ 4.6
Tramin (Termeno) village centre · Rathausplatz 7 / Piazza Municipio 7, 39040 Tramin/Termeno an der Weinstrasse, Italy
J. Hofstaetter's contemporary tasting room and wine bar sits beside the estate's wine shop on Tramin's main piazza. Estate-focused programme - Mazon Pinot Nero, Steinraffler Lagrein, Joseph Gewurztraminer and the full Hofstaetter range. Open most evenings; closed Sunday and Monday.
Tip: The Mazon-Mazzon Pinot Nero flight (current vintage plus two library bottles) is the signature - ask the team for the vertical.
Gasthaus Schwarzer Adler ★ 4.4
Caldaro/Kaltern village · Krumbachweg 15, 39052 Kaltern, Italy
Gasthaus Schwarzer Adler is one of the longest-running Caldaro/Kaltern village inns with a serious Kalterer Wine Road wine list. Schiava verticals are the house signature, alongside the Cantina Kaltern Riserva range and the Manincor biodynamic bottlings.
Tip: Pair the Schiava flight with the local trout and the Schlutzkrapfen. The kitchen runs an asparagus week in April-May.
Restaurant Patauner ★ 4.5
Terlan / Siebeneich (Settequerce) · Via Bolzano 6, 39018 Terlan/Siebeneich, Italy
Restaurant Patauner has run for over 100 years in the Patauner family, now in the third and fourth generation, in Terlan-Siebeneich. The Terlano Pinot Bianco depth is the strongest in the village; the asparagus weeks in April-May pair Terlaner Margarete asparagus with the Cantina Terlano range.
Tip: The Patauner Pinot Bianco flight (current Tradition plus a Vorberg vertical) is the bar's headline pour. Book the asparagus week in spring well ahead.
Forsterbraeu Merano ★ 4.3
Merano (Corso Liberta) · Corso Liberta 90, 39012 Merano, Italy
Forsterbraeu Merano runs since 1869 on Corso Liberta in central Merano - a classic Tyrolean stube with house-brewed Forst beer at one end of the menu and a serious South Tyrolean wine programme at the other.
Tip: Ask for the Vinschgau Riesling flight - Falkenstein and Unterortl bottlings from the high-altitude valley west of Merano are the regional signature.
Tree Brasserie ★ 4.3
Merano (Belvedere) · Via Belvedere 17, 39012 Merano, Italy
Tree Brasserie on Via Belvedere is a contemporary Merano kitchen with a sommelier-led South Tyrolean wine programme. Lagrein Rose, Schiava and the seasonal whites by the glass alongside an Italian-international wine list.
Tip: The Lagrein Rose by the glass is unusual for Merano - the house also pours from the Cantina Merano Pinot Bianco range. Try a sommelier flight matched to the chef's menu.
