Italia - Caldaro
http://www.dolcetours.com/hi_alps.htmIt's The Sound of Music meets Sideways! This 7-day hiking tour (Aug 30 - Sept 5) takes place in the lower slopes of the Italian Alps. Fortunately for thirsty hikers, this is one of Italy's premiere wine regions. Vineyards lining the Adige River valley grow aromatic grapes like gewurztraminer and sauvignon blanc, and luscious reds like pinot noir and lagrein. This part of Italy, called Alto Adige, is infused with an Austrian feel -- in its alpine architecture, cuisine, and Germanic language. Explore its spectacular scenery with morning hikes (3-4 hours/day) on breathtaking mountain ridges, through vineyards, orchards, and quaint towns, and cap each day with a wine tasting.
