Events at Chiusa

Focusing on regional products

For more than 30 years various inns and restaurants in the Valle Isarco/Eisacktal have been inviting people to the “Valle Isarco Fine Cuisine Festival”, the oldest of South Tyrol’s speciality food weeks. Local people and visitors are served traditional dishes, some of the recipes originating in grandmother’s day. Prepared with the new ideas and influence of current trends, they reflect the development of local gastronomy and illustrate the abundance of original Tyrolean delicacies.

Working closely with local farmers, the speciality week is devoted to a different theme each year:  “Good things from the Farm, Fresh from the Herb Garden, The Best of the South Tyrol’s Dairy Products, All about Grain....”. The culinary surprises which appear at these gastronomic exhibitions demonstrate the wide-ranging uses of the countryside’s produce; the recipes take into consideration the trend towards healthy and regional foods.

The wines produced in the South Tyrol are as diverse as the cuisine – and are close at hand, because enjoying a good glass of wine is one of the traditions of our Speciality Weeks.
