St. Michael-Eppan Winery
St. Michael-Eppan is a winery in San Michele in Italy run jointly by about 320 families. The vineyards stretch over gentle hills around Appiano and grow a diverse selection of grape varieties, including Pinot Blanc, Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay, Gewürztraminer, and Pinot Noir.
The winery was founded in 1907 when a group of farmers came together to make wine collectively. Over the decades, it developed into a recognized producer with numerous awards won in Italy and internationally.
The name San Michele refers to the Archangel Michael and shapes the identity of this wine village. The winery is deeply rooted in local traditions and connects generations of wine-making families who pass down their craft techniques.
The winery is easily reached from the center of Appiano and is open to visitors, with tours and tastings available by booking in advance. It is advisable to contact ahead to arrange a visit, particularly if you want to see the cellars and vineyards.
The vineyard location around Appiano offers a mild and sunny climate with cool nights, which allows grapes to ripen slowly and develop special flavors and aromas. These natural conditions shape each vintage differently, making every harvest a unique experience.
