Weekend in Trento - Day 3
1] Short hike in nature among mountain huts and waterfalls
The morning offers two alternative experiences combining nature and discovery in the surroundings of Trento.
The first option is a pleasant hike from Grotta di Villazzano to Rifugio Bindesi. This short and easy trail winds through the woods on the right bank of the Adige River, making it ideal for those seeking tranquillity and a connection with nature. At the top, the mountain hut welcomes hikers with traditional Trentino dishes and beautiful views over the Trento valley.
Alternatively, visit the Orrido di Ponte Alto, a spectacular natural gorge with waterfalls carved into the porphyry rock, accessible through a guided tour that explores its geological history. After the visit, you can have lunch nearby and enjoy excellent dishes at Villa Madruzzo.
2] Wine tasting to savour the flavours of the region
The afternoon is dedicated to the flavours of the region, with a food and wine journey through the outstanding wineries of the Trento area.
You can start with a tasting at the Cavit Wine Shop, an important cooperative winery that showcases Trentino’s winemaking tradition through a selection of wines representing the region. Alternatively, the elegant Palazzo Roccabruna, home to the Provincial Enoteca of Trentino and located in the historic city centre, offers a more institutional and cultural experience, with guided tastings and a carefully curated selection of Trentino wines.
For those looking for a more immersive experience, local wineries also offer vineyard tours, often among the sunny hills surrounding Trento. Visitors can discover the winemaking process up close and learn about the production of Trentino’s traditional-method sparkling wines, before ending the visit with a tasting at the winery.
3] Final dinner to end your trip on a delicious note
The final dinner in Trento is the perfect opportunity to end your trip with the flavours and traditions of the region.
You can choose a Michelin-starred restaurant, where Trentino cuisine is reinterpreted through a contemporary approach, with great attention to ingredients, presentation and pairings with local wines. Alternatively, the historic trattorias in the city centre offer a more authentic and convivial atmosphere, serving traditional dishes for a genuine and flavourful finale that truly reflects the identity of the region.
