The Gardens of Trauttmansdorff Castle and Katzenzungen Castle

The Gardens of Trauttmansdorff Castle assumed patronage for the world’s largest and probably oldest grapevine. On Thursdays in August, September and October, as part of the Gardens & Wine Experience Package, there are guided tours to the Versoaln vine at Katzenzungen Castle in Prissiano (Tesimo) together with a wine tasting. The ticket also includes a guided tour of Katzenzungen Castle and The Gardens of Trauttmansdorff Castle, where a golden replica of a 7,000 year old grape seed – a gift from the nation of Georgia – and newly found 2,400-yearold
grape seeds from South Tyrol can be seen.
