South Tyrol is known beyond its borders for its excellent cuisine. From the typical Buschenschank, the inn to the fine star restaurant, there is a lot on offer here.
The Oberwirt am Gries, as it is called here in Lana by the people, was highly recommended to us. And I am very curious.

OBERWIRT AM GRIES, Lana
The first impression is very good. The winter garden in front of this historic building is very inviting, surrounded by strikingly beautiful Mediterranean plants. The myrtles seem to thrive especially well here.

INTERIOR
Inside you will find a very refined and cosy atmosphere, in the entrance area a small sales corner with selected products, two inviting restaurants, one with traditional wood panelling.

The welcome of the landlords Traudi and Renato is very cordial and to start the evening a glass of perfectly cooled Franciacorta of the house Berlucchi is served to us at the open fire.
The lovingly decorated and fruit-filled old porcelain bowls, distributed on the tables and niches, complement the furnishings. Here you immediately feel at home.

FOOD & DRINKS
The menu is small and fine with a focus on mainly Italian dishes, the description of the dishes is clear and without frills. As the Slow Food movement says, food should be healthy, tasty and produced in a clean and fair way. The wine list meets the highest standards. Renato enthusiastically tells us about his commitment and the exclusive events of the Merano Wine Festival, which takes place every year at the beginning of November in Merano and its surroundings and here in the Oberwirt.

Renato will be happy to tell you the story on your next visit.

SWEET TEMPTATION
Panna cotta served in glass with Sicilian lemon and prickly pear pulp
Pot dumplings with cinnamon crumbs, fried apple ice cream and marzipan
The coffee after the delicious desserts should of course not be missing. Traudi’s home-baked nut biscuits are sufficient for this. Delicious!
It gets even more cosy at a late hour, the gentlemen from the next table join us, the innkeepers tell us and the excellent Rhum lets us stay longer.
A good glass of Franciacorta is always possible, even after dinner and is one more reason to stay in the Christmassy garden.
Dear Traudi, dear Renato and your team, it was a wonderful evening with you! Many thanks!
