Calici di Stelle under the Bolzano arcades ★ 4.5
Calici di Stelle (Lorenzinacht) transforms Via dei Portici into an evening listening-and-tasting promenade each August, timed to the Perseids meteor shower. Bolzano's wineries pour by the glass and local musicians set up under the arcades; Town Hall Square hosts the Santa Maddalena selection.
The list: August open-air tasting under the medieval arcades; Bolzano cooperatives pour Lagrein, Vernatsch (Schiava) and Santa Maddalena alongside Pinot Bianco and Gewurztraminer
Tip: Free admission with a tasting-glass deposit. Walk the full arcade route then climb to the Magdalener vineyards above town at the end of the evening for the Perseids view.
