Trentino is a region to experience with all five senses — especially taste. Lakes, valleys and mountains hold a rich culinary heritage, where tradition meets innovation. Genuine products, Alpine aromas and recipes handed down for generations make this area perfect for a food and wine holiday.
Thanks to its two unique microclimates – the Mediterranean breeze from Lake Garda and the Alpine freshness of the inner valleys – Trentino offers extraordinary variety. Discover it along the Seven Wine and Flavour Trails of Trentino.
Among the best-known local products are Trentino apples, Trentingrana DOP and Garda Trentino extra virgin olive oil DOP, all symbols of quality.
The region is also rich in cheese specialities such as Spressa delle Giudicarie DOP, the famous Puzzone di Moena DOP, Vezzena, a Slow Food Presidia cheese, and the traditional Tosela from Primiero.
Don’t miss the excellent cured meats: lucanica sausage, mortandela from Val di Non, the characteristic ciuìga del Banale, and the classic carne salada.
Typical side dishes include potatoes, cabbages and asparagus from Val di Gresta, served with a slice of polenta from Valsugana or made with Storo cornmeal.
Among meat dishes, game is the star — try the rabbit Trentino-style, tender and full of flavour.
Trentino is also home to outstanding wines and spirits: from the prestigious TRENTODOC sparkling wine to Nosiola, Vino Santo, Marzemino, Teroldego, Trentino DOC Müller Thurgau, and the famous Trentino Grappa. Beer lovers will enjoy the Fravort Fresh Beer from Valsugana.
Finally, for those with a sweet tooth, the region offers delicious desserts made with mountain berries grown up to 1,550 metres in the Val dei Mocheni and Piné Plateau: strawberries, raspberries, blueberries and currants. Don’t miss the apple strudel, Trentino Zelten, and the Torta de Fregoloti, the perfect ending to your journey through Trentino’s flavours.
