From 4 to 6 July in Val di Cembra the 38th edition of “Müller Thurgau: Mountain Wine” with tastings, masterclasses, shows, experiences in the area and the awards ceremony of the 22nd International Competition.
A valley designed by the geometry of over 700 km of dry stone walls that embrace spectacular terraces of vines, a vine variety born in Switzerland and then spread throughout the Alpine arc, an event that surprises every year with technical moments and initiatives dedicated to the general public. These are the ingredients of the “Müller Thurgau: Mountain Wine” event, an event that from 4 to 6 July celebrates the many expressions of this famous aromatic white wine and the beauty of the Valle di Cembra area.
Three days to savor, explore and be amazed: wine lovers, enthusiasts and industry professionals will be able to enjoy an immersive experience with tastings, masterclasses and open-air events.
The heart of the event will once again be the prestigious Palazzo Maffei , where it will be possible to taste over 60 labels of Müller Thurgau from Val di Cembra, Trentino, Alto Adige and abroad. In the outdoor space, “Fuori di Taste” , instead, there will be space to discover the other wine productions of the territory and explore new contaminations , such as “Il giro del mondo in 80 Müller ”, a shocooking that celebrates the versatility of Müller Thurgau through the pairing with Thai cuisine, or “ La grappa si fa cocktail ”, in collaboration with the Istituto Tutela Grappa del Trentino.
Completing the program is the eagerly awaited announcement of the winners of the 22nd International Müller Thurgau Wine Competition , which will reward the best expressions of the competing grape variety, but also the wine and comedy show by Lucio Gardin , the dinner on the avenue “Dining with the Stars” accompanied by dance performances by champions of the Ritmomisto school, the “ Heroes ” trek through the vineyards and the “Cantine in sella” e-bike experience.
A celebration of taste and landscape, which focuses on wine and those who make it, in an authentic atmosphere that only the Val di Cembra can offer.

Profile Müller Thurgau
Born between 1882 and 1891 from the cross between Rhine Riesling and Madeleine Royal by Prof. Hermann Müller, Müller Thurgau is a vine that matures best in the mountains and has found its ideal habitat in the Cembra Valley, a territory sheltered by mountains and woods and characterized by porphyry soils and strong temperature ranges. From the vinification of its grapes, a white wine is obtained with a pale straw yellow color with greenish reflections, a very evident aromatic component, with hints of aromatic herbs, elderberry, tropical fruit and citrus. Savoury, mineral, with pleasant acidity: typical characteristics of mountain wines.
Cembra Valley Profile
Historical rural landscape of Italy and member of the “World Alliance of Terraced Landscapes”, it is characterized by porphyritic soils and a strong temperature range and is a national and international emblem of heroic mountain viticulture. Crossed by the Avisio torrent, in addition to its wines and grappas, it is known worldwide for the presence of porphyry, defined as “red gold”, and for the Pyramids of Segonzano, a natural monument resulting from the erosion of the mountain sides.
